Korach – A Window of Opportunity

 

Bamidbar 16:3 “…kee kol haweyda kulam kedoshim”

             “…because the entire community is holy.”

 

Once when Rav Chaim Kanievski was with the Chazon Ish in Tzfas, they met an older resident who had known the Ridvaz, who was the Rav in Tzfas. The Chazon Ish asked him to recount an incident that he had personally witnessed involving the Ridvaz. The man thought for a few moments and began to speak:

“I remember that it was Shabbos Shuva and the shul where the Ridvaz was going to deliver his drasha was filled to capacity. The Ridvaz arrived late wearing his Talis. He realized that he would have to disturb many people in order to get to the front of the shul. What did he do? He did not enter the shul but walked around the back until he came to a place where there was a window that was directly behind the Aron Kodesh. He clambered up and managed to squeeze himself through a small window in the wall. This he did in order not to disturb holy Jews! Then he suddenly appeared like magic in the front of the shul ready to give the Drosha!

HALACHIC BULLETIN

It is permissible to make additional knots at the bottom of the Tzitzis in order to prevent them from fraying. If a string is too long it may be broken off by hand, or fire, or cut with a plastic knife, or teeth. It is better in Kabbalah not to use scissors or a knife.

 

Have a great Shabbos!
