Lech Lecha

 

14:2 “They made a war with Bera the king of Sodom.”

 

Rabbi Yonason Eibeshitz of Prague was known as a child prodigy and constantly amazed people with his sharp wit and brilliant answers to any question. Once as a child he was learning Parshas Lech Lecha with his Rebbe. The Rebbe posed a question to the class.

  

“Who knows the name of the king of Sodom in the time of Avraham?”

 

“Beh’ra was the king of Sodom,” answered a very confident Yonason.

“I am surprised at you, Yonason,” declared the Rebbe.

“Does it not say in Pitom Haketores in the Davening that the king of Sodom was called Reva (one quarter)?”

 

Little Yonason did not miss a beat:

“Yes Rebbe, in the beginning his name was Beh’ra (with evil) but after Sodom was overturned his name became Reva (just a fraction, i.e. nothing)!!”

JEWISH LAW TIP

 Al Hanissim is added on Chanukah to the Shemone Esrei and in Bentching.

 If it is forgotten we do not repeat Davening or Bentching.

 If one remembers before saying “Shem HaShem” it can be inserted at that

 point.

 

Have a wonderful Shabbos.
