HaShem's Tefillin

In the Beis Medrash of the Rebbe Elimelech of Lishensk the entire congregation was waiting for the Shofar to be blown. They looked towards the holy Rebbe Elimelech who remained silently standing on the Bima wrapped in a Tallis, with tears rolling down his face.

 

Suddenly he cried out:

 

"Ribono Shel Olam! (Master of the universe) If a Jew drops his Tefillin on the floor, he immediately jumps to lift it up, and kisses it with great love. The Talmud in Brochos states that it is written in Your Tefillin:

'Mi K'amcha Yisroel' – Who is like your great nation, Yisroel!

Therefore, Ribono Shel Olam, please lift us up from our low status and sufferings and elevate us in accordance with Your love for us!"

 

KIDDUSH SPONSOR

The Veitzer family is delighted to sponsor Kiddush in honor of the May birth of Sara Bina Bracha. Diane and Eliyahu are enormously grateful for the overflowing Brachos with which they’ve been blessed since meeting through Aish less than two years ago. The Veitzers also celebrate Diane’s 45th birthday today, the 26th of Elul.  We are thrilled to share these celebrations with the entire community, which has supported us in every possible way.

 

SEUDAH SHLISHIS SPONSOR

Richard and Beverly Horowitz are sponsoring Seudah Shlishis in honor of the marriage of  R’ Naftali & Ora Kreisler and Sheva Brachos of Yehoshua (Jason) and Lea Raher."

 

Yariv Newman is sponsoring Seudah Shlishis in honor of the entire Aish community, Richard Horowitz, and Louis Kemp for being relentless in their quest to see him back in Israel.  Yariv is leaving to go learn in Yeshiva, and will also be the guest of honor at Israel's largest film festival.

 JEWISH LAW TIP

No breath may taken between the short beeps of the Teruah, or the longer beeps between each Shevarim. There are two views of how to blow the Shevarim-Terurah combination. Some hold that no breath may be taken between them and even B’diavad, a breath between them invalidates the blast. Others hold that a breath should be taken between the Shevarim and the Teruah. The custom in most congregations is to do it both ways; the Tekios before Musaf are blown with no breath taken between the Shevarim-Teruah, while the Tekios during and after Musaf are blown with a break for drawing a breath between the Shevarim-Teruah. There are several ways to blow the Shevarim sound. Some blow short, straight blasts, others make a slight undulation. Some opinions hold that when the Shevarim-Teruah sound is blown, there may not be any break at all between them. Some authorities insist that the Tekiah sound be straight and clear from beginning to end, with no fluctuation of pitch throughout the entire blast.
