Re’ey  - Charity Begins at Home

R’ Moshe Ravkash, author of the Be'er HaGolah, would weep when he would look at his wife's candlesticks.                                                                                

During the fury of the Cossack attacks against the Jews in Vilna, R’ Moshe, an extremely wealthy man, buried his money, gold and silver utensils. He fled from community to community until finally he arrived in the city of Amsterdam where there was a thriving Sephardic community. They embraced him warmly and he remained there until the Cossacks were driven back, and it was safe to return home.  Upon his return he located his hidden treasures. However the Jews who had survived, and those who had returned, had been left virtually penniless. R’ Moshe therefore began to disburse all of his money to sustain the Jewish community. His wife, observing that he was selling all of their material possessions, hid her silver candlesticks out of concern for their own financial predicament. When the financial situation seemed to improve, she divulged to her husband that she had hidden their candlesticks. When R’ Moshe saw the candlesticks he sighed heavily:                                                                                          

"How many poor people could have been supported by these candlesticks!"

HALACHIC BULLETIN

There are two schools of thought concerning praying at the graves of Tzadikim.

Shla holds that it is permitted to speak directly to the dead to ask them to daven to HaShem on our behalf.                                                                                                Maharil strongly disagrees and maintains that this too is strictly forbidden. We may daven only directly to HaShem in the merit of the dead He should have mercy on us.                                                                                                                                         All opinions agree that it is strictly forbidden to daven directly to a dead person (or to angel) so that they should help us.
