A Word from Rabbi Moshe Cohen:

Y’mach Shmo: Achrei Mos – Kedoshim

 

Vayikra 19:14 “Do not curse a deaf person”

 

The Avnei Nezer, one of the Torah giants in Poland before the Second World War, Rav Avrohom Bornstein, once heard a Jew curse another Jew who was an advocate of heretical ideas by saying:

”May his name be erased and his memory eradicated form the Jewish people!”

The Rav quietly explained:

“In Shulchan Aruch the law is recorded that the wife of a heretic who dies without children has to undergo Chalitza (dissolution of a Levirite marriage). This process is in substitution for Yibum (levirate marriage) and the Torah states in regard to Yibum that the name of the deceased should not be erased. Why would you desire something that the Torah does not, and wish this person’s name to be obliterated?

HIGHLIGHT IN THE COMMUNITY

After winning the Gold Medal in Mixed 2-Man Luge at the 1988 Winter Olympics, Brian and Susan Ross felt a void in their life and decided to explore their Jewish roots.  Brian has been involved with Aish since he moved from Canada and after studying some holy texts with Rabbis Heller and Braverman, the athletic couple was married.  After intensive Torah study in a remote cave for 12 years, they gave birth to 3 girls, Cohava, Tirtza and Temima. Among their greatest joys is entertaining Shabbos guests.
