Pesach: Maca, Wiosna i Wolność

By Rabbi Mati Kirschenbaum 03/29/2018 Leave a Comment Filed Under: Polish Sermons

photo Mati Kirschenbaum

Święto Pesach znane jest pod trzema innymi imionami. Pierwsze z nich to Chag HaMacot, Święto Macy, odwołujące się do niezakwaszonego chleba spożywanego w jego trakcie na pamiątkę pośpiechu w którym Izraelici opuścili Egipt. Drugie to Chag HaAwiw, Święto Wiosny, przypominające nam o miejscu Pesach w kalendarzu żydowskim – święto to rozpoczyna się w latach nieprzestępnych […]

Candles, Blessing, Shabbat!

This week we read two Parashot, Vayakhel and Pekudei. The reason for this is the lunar-solar nature of the Jewish calendar, wherein in non-leap years (such as the year 5778) there aren’t enough weeks to read each Torah portion separately. Thus – whether we like it or not – the Moon and the Sun determine […]

Świece, Błogosławieństwo, Szabat!

By Rabbi Mati Kirschenbaum 03/08/2018 Leave a Comment Filed Under: Polish Sermons

W tym tygodniu czytamy dwie parsze, Wajakhel i Pekudej. Wynika to z księżycowo-słonecznego charakteru żydowskiego kalendarza, w którym w latach nieprzestępnych (na przykład w roku 5778) nie starczy tygodni na czytanie każdej parszy oddzielnie. W ten sposób księżyc i słońce determinują – czy tego chcemy czy nie – rytm żydowskiego życia. Wpływ ten był oczywiście […]

Trumah: What Can You Contribute to Your Community?

In the first aliyah of this week’s Torah portion, Trumah, we find the following words: [perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””] ‘Have them make an ark of acacia wood—two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high. Overlay it with pure gold, both […]

Face to Face with an Eye for an Eye

This week’s Torah portion, Mishpatim, abounds in legal statements. No wonder – its very name can be translated as legal ordinances. Legal norms in Mishpatim cover a wide spectrum of topics, ranging from treatment of slaves and socially disadvantaged individuals to observance of Shabbat and festivals. According to Sefer HaHinuch, a medieval treatise enumerating and […]

We All Stood Together at Sinai

By Rabbi Mati Kirschenbaum 02/02/2018 Leave a Comment Filed Under: Sermons

In this week’s parasha Yitro, we read about the most important event in the history of Jewish people – the revelation of Torah on Sinai. Thus, many Jews coming to the synagogue on Shabbat Yitro spend the first minutes of the Torah reading preparing themselves emotionally and intellectually for the covenantal words of Exodus 20:2, […]
