Michah (Micah) - Chapter 4:2

2And many nations shall go, and they shall say, "Come, let us go up to the Lord's mount and to the house of the God of Jacob, and let Him teach us of His ways, and we will go in His paths," for out of Zion shall the Torah come forth, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

כניעה לראש מועצת אפרים

כאשר אנו מדברים על "ראש מועצת בית אפרים", אנו מתייחסים למועצה שרצונה העמוק ביותר הוא להיות כפוף לחלוטין לסמכות ולהדרכתו של בית דין או סנהדרין יהודי אורתודוקסי מוכר. בכל העניינים - במיוחד אלה הנוגעים להחלטות הלכתיות הקשורות לעם היהודי, עם ישראל - ראש מועצת בית אפרים מבקשת לפעול בענווה, כניעה וכבוד כלפי סמכות התורה הממוסדת של ישראל.

כמו שאני (אריאל) "נולדתי" בהר הבית, כך.......

בית ישראל הבינלאומי "נולד" בהר הבית ורוצה לגדול עוד יותר באחדות עם העם היהודי.........

בית ישראל הבינלאומי מיוחד לכל הכבשים האבודות מבית ישראל, יהודים אבודים או שבטים אבודים, השם אוהב אתכם, הוא רוצה "להקים" אתכם לתחייה קרוב לביתו...... "מול", לפני ביתו....... קורא לכם:

Submission to the Head Council of Ephraim

When we speak about the “Head Council of the House of Ephraim,” we are referring to a council whose deepest desire is to come fully under the authority and guidance of a recognized Orthodox Jewish Beit Din or Sanhedrin. In all matters—especially those concerning Halachic decisions related to the Jewish people, Am Yisrael—the Head Council seeks to act with humility, submission, and respect toward the established Torah authority of Israel.

Like I (Ariel) was 'born' on the Har HaBayit so.......,

Beit Yisrael International is 'born' on the Har HaBayit and desire to grow up further in unity with the Jewish People.........

Beit Yisrael International special for all The Lost Sheep from the House of Israel, Lost Jews or Lost Tribes, Hashem Loves you it is He, He want to 'resurrect' you close by His House...... In 'front', before His House....... Calling out to you:

Speedily bring them to Tsiyon, your city, to Yerushalayim, dwelling of your [spoken] name, as it is written in the Torah of your servant Mosheh: “Even if you are dispersed in the uttermost parts of the world, from there YHVH your elo’ah will gather and fetch you. YHVH your elo’ah will bring you into the land which your ancestors possessed, and you shall possess her; and Hashem will make you more prosperous and more numerous than your ancestors.” (Deuteronomy 30:4-5)

Unite our hearts to love and revere your name, and to observe all the precepts of your Torah. Speedily send us your righteous moshiaḥ of the House of David, to redeem those waiting for your salvation. Shine forth in your glorious majesty over all the inhabitants of your world. Let everything that breathes proclaim: YHVH, elo’ah of Yisra’el is King; “their majesty reigns over all.”[2][3] Amen. Selah.

The Tefilah l’Shalom Medinat Yisra’el (“Prayer for the Welfare of the State of Israel”) was composed by Rabbi Yitsḥak haLevi Hertzog (1888-1959), edited by Shmuel Yosef (S.Y.) Agnon (1888-1970), and first published in the newspaper Ha-Tsofeh on 20 September 1948.

This prayer was instituted at the time by the Chief Rabbis of Israel, Rabbi Hertzog and Rabbi Ben Tsiyon Meir Ḥai Uziel. According to the custom of the Ashkenazic communities, the time for reciting the prayer was set between the end of the Torah reading and the haftara for the return of the Torah scroll to its place in the Holy Ark. In Sephardic communities, it is customary to recite the prayer at the time of the removal of the Torah scroll from the Holy Ark. (At this point in prayer, it was customary the prayer “Hanoten Tshuah”, blessing the ruler of the state and their immediate family.)

Because the State of Israel is referred to as “the beginning of the sprouting/growth of our redemption,” the prayer was not universally accepted. This expression, and the reservations about the state in general, are some of the reasons why non-Zionist and anti-Zionist Jews do not recite it in their synagogues. In fact, the recitation of this prayer and, to a lesser extent, the prayer for the safety of IDF soldiers, became one of the main differences between prayer in Ḥaredi synagogues and prayers in National Religious Zionist synagogues in Israel and in the Diaspora.

Jewish History

Passing of R. Boruch Mordechai Ettinger of Babruysk (1852)

R. Boruch Mordechai Ettinger was a follower of the first three Chabad Rebbes, R. Schneur Zalman (the Alter Rebbe), R. DovBer (the Mitteler Rebbe), and R. Menachem Mendel (the Tzemach Tzedek). He served as head of the Talmudic academy in Vilna (Vilnius) and then as rabbi in Babruysk, a post he filled for fifty years. Toward the end of his life he immigrated to Jerusalem, where he passed away.

R. Boruch Mordechai was known for his witty sayings and remarks which reflected his sharp perception and deep wisdom.

Laws and Customs

Elul Observances

As the last month of the Jewish year, Elul is traditionally a time of introspection and stocktaking -- a time to review one's deeds and spiritual progress over the past year and prepare for the upcoming "Days of Awe" of Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur.

As the month of Divine Mercy and Forgiveness (see "Today in Jewish History" for Elul 1) it is a most opportune time for teshuvah ("return" to G-d), prayer, charity, and increased Ahavat Yisrael (love for a fellow Jew) in the quest for self-improvement and coming closer to G-d. Chassidic master Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi likens the month of Elul to a time when "the king is in the field" and, in contrast to when he is in the royal palace, "everyone who so desires is permitted to meet him, and he receives them all with a cheerful countenance and shows a smiling face to them all."

Specific Elul customs include the daily sounding of the shofar (ram's horn) as a call to repentance. The Baal Shem Tov instituted the custom of reciting three additional chapters of Psalms each day, from the 1st of Elul until Yom Kippur (on Yom Kippur the remaining 36 chapters are recited, thereby completing the entire book of Psalms). Click below to view today's Psalms.

Elul is also the time to have one's tefillin and mezuzot checked by an accredited scribe to ensure that they are in good condition and fit for use.

Daily Thought

To Whom

To whom does a Jew pray?

Can He be described? Does He have a name?

No, there is no description with which to imagine Him, no name with which to grasp Him.

Even the pronoun “Him” implies too much to be true—as though He could be a third party, absent or present. Even the title “Infinite Light” misses the mark, as though He were only light.

But He is not light. He is the source of light. At the source of all light, there is no absence or presence, no being or not being.

There is only “You.” Here, now, known to all beings. And yet beyond the grasp of any knowledge.

It is truly inconceivable, certainly outrageous, but we puny, mortal creatures turn to the heavens and beyond the heavens and say, “You.”

As Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak of Lubavitch wrote:

You, that all know of You.

You, that all put their trust only in You.

You, that all plead only to You.

You, that no creation nor emanation knows who and what You are.

And so we pray to You alone, for You alone, the Unknowable, are known to all.

Bar Mitzvah

Bar mitzvah is Hebrew for “son of commandment.” When a Jewish boy turns 13, he has all the rights and obligations of a Jewish adult, including the commandments of the Torah. From that date, he will wear tefillin on a daily basis, participate in synagogue services and take his place in the Jewish community. This milestone—called a bar mitzvah—is often celebrated with a ceremony in synagogue, tefillin wearing, and parties. The celebrant may be called to the Torah, lead services, deliver a speech or otherwise demonstrate his newfound status.

Book Prayer, Chapter 17, Halakha 14

14 - How Long Must One Stand at a Distance

After taking three steps backwards, one must remain standing in that place. He may not immediately return to where he prayed the Amidah , for if he does, he resembles a dog that returns to its vomit ( Yoma 53b). The reason for this condemnation is that after separating himself from the King, if he returns to stand before Him, only to wait there without reason, he illustrates that he did not understand that he was standing before the King and that he already separated from Him. Therefore, his action is considered disgraceful. There are those who continue to err, and upon returning to their places they lift their heels slightly as done in Kedushah . However, there is no reason for this.

L'chatchilah , one should stand in the place that his steps ended until the chazan arrives at Kedushah , or at least until the chazan starts the repetition of the Amidah ( Shulchan Aruch 123:2). According to the majority of poskim , there is no need to remain standing with one's feet together upon the conclusion of Oseh shalom ( Mishnah Berurah 123:6; Bei'ur Halachah and Sha'ar HaTziyun there). However, there are those who say that it is good to remain with one's legs together until he returns to his place. ( Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 18:13; Kaf HaChaim 123:11 mentions both opinions.)

It is proper that even someone praying individually does not return immediately to his original place, but stops after taking three steps, and waits in his place for the amount of time it takes the chazan to arrive at Kedushah , which is approximately half a minute. In extenuating circumstances, if he must return to his place, he must wait the amount of time it takes to walk four amot and only then return ( Mishnah Berurah 123:11; Kaf HaChaim 20). The chazan who must begin the Amidah repetition, can l'chatchilah wait in the place his steps ended, approximately the walking time of only four amot , and afterwards return to his place, because he is approaching the Amidah prayer again ( Rama 123:2). Similarly, one who must make up a missed prayer, and pray a supplementary prayer ( tashlumim ), must wait approximately the amount of time it takes to walk four amot and then return to pray ( Mishnah Berurah 123:11).

At the end of the Amidah repetition, it is unnecessary for the chazan to take three steps back again, since his prayer is not completely concluded until Kaddish-Titkabal , in which he requests that his prayers and requests be accepted. At the end of Kaddish-Titkabal , he takes three steps back and says Oseh shalom ( Shulchan Aruch 123:5). Although in Shacharit we recite Tachanun , Ashrei , and U'va L'Tzion before the Kaddish , and on Mondays and Thursdays the Torah is read, nevertheless, the chazan 's separation from the Amidah repetition occurs in the Kaddish-Titkabal recited after U'va L'Tzion. Therefore, the chazan must be strict not to speak from the end of the Amidah repetition until the end of Kaddish-Titkabal ( Mishnah Berurah 123:18).

The Covenant of Peace

Jeremiah 31: 30-33

30Behold, days are coming, says the Lord, and I will form a covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, a new covenant.		להִנֵּ֛ה יָמִ֥ים בָּאִ֖ים נְאֻם־יְהֹוָ֑ה וְכָֽרַתִּ֗י אֶת־בֵּ֧ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל וְאֶת־בֵּ֥ית יְהוּדָ֖ה בְּרִ֥ית חֲדָשָֽׁה:
31Not like the covenant that I formed with their forefathers on the day I took them by the hand to take them out of the land of Egypt, that they broke My covenant, although I was a lord over them, says the Lord.		לאלֹ֣א כַבְּרִ֗ית אֲשֶׁ֚ר כָּרַ֙תִּי֙ אֶת־אֲבוֹתָ֔ם בְּיוֹם֙ הֶֽחֱזִיקִ֣י בְיָדָ֔ם לְהֽוֹצִיאָ֖ם מֵאֶ֖רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם אֲשֶׁר־הֵ֜מָּה הֵפֵ֣רוּ אֶת־בְּרִיתִ֗י וְאָֽנֹכִ֛י בָּעַ֥לְתִּי בָ֖ם נְאֻם־יְהֹוָֽה:
32For this is the covenant that I will form with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will place My law in their midst and I will inscribe it upon their hearts, and I will be their God and they shall be My people.		לבכִּ֣י זֹ֣את הַבְּרִ֡ית אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֶכְרֹת֩ אֶת־בֵּ֨ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל אַֽחֲרֵ֨י הַיָּמִ֚ים הָהֵם֙ נְאֻם־יְהֹוָ֔ה נָתַ֚תִּי אֶת־תּֽוֹרָתִי֙ בְּקִרְבָּ֔ם וְעַל־לִבָּ֖ם אֶכְתֳּבֶ֑נָּה וְהָיִ֚יתִי לָהֶם֙ לֵֽאלֹהִ֔ים וְהֵ֖מָּה יִֽהְיוּ־לִ֥י לְעָֽם:
33And no longer shall one teach his neighbor or [shall] one [teach] his brother, saying, "Know the Lord," for they shall all know Me from their smallest to their greatest, says the Lord, for I will forgive their iniquity and their sin I will no longer remember.		לגוְלֹ֧א יְלַמְּד֣וּ ע֗וֹד אִ֣ישׁ אֶת־רֵעֵ֜הוּ וְאִ֚ישׁ אֶת־אָחִיו֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר דְּע֖וּ אֶת־יְהֹוָ֑ה כִּֽי־כוּלָּם֩ יֵֽדְע֨וּ אוֹתִ֜י לְמִקְּטַנָּ֚ם וְעַד־גְּדוֹלָם֙ נְאֻם־יְהֹוָ֔ה כִּ֚י אֶסְלַח֙ לַֽעֲו‍ֹנָ֔ם וּלְחַטָּאתָ֖ם לֹ֥א אֶזְכָּר־עֽוֹד:
