charity, the link between the wealthy and the poor

Gallilee Lemon Grove 

I was reading a dvar Torah by Rabbi M Miller, entitled Shabbat Shiurim, from Jewish Teachers Training College, Gateshead, England (5739-1979) in Parshas Emor and he brings down a Rashi that explains why the commandment of leaving behind crops for the poor is sandwiched between the holiday of Shavuouth and Rosh Hashanah. Rabbi Miller paraphrases, Rashi at Lev. 23:22, where he writes....ma'alin alav k'eulu bana beis hamikdosh vehikriv alav karbanos betocho, or one who observes these agricultural laws of taking care of the poor person, scripture "accredits the farmer with the construction of the holy sanctuary and the offering of sacrifices." I added up the phrase as noted by Rabbi M. Miller and it came to 2922. I looked up the phrase on my gematria program and it came to equal the last phrase in Leviticus, 27:34, where it says, "These are the commandments that G-d commanded Moses to the children of Israel at Mount Sinai. "

We know that Vayikra is basically about animal sacrifices and the laws of holiness that include helping the poor and downtrodden. Rashi's remarkable phrase teaches us that one who studies the laws of vayikra and practices those laws or at least the ones we can today, are as if one has built the Holy Temple and offered sacrifices in it. "

I was looking at instagram and I came across a site, toraharoundtheclock and they mentioned a phrase that caught my eye and it connects to my dvar Torah. It says in Talmud Nidah 70(b), mah ya'aseh ha'adam vayisyasheir, yivakeish memi she'haosher shelo or what should a man do to become wealthy? He should seek it from the One who has all the wealth. I took the gematria of this phrase and it came to 3185. Another phrase with the same number can be found at Ruth 2:16, where it says, and let some of the handfuls on purpose, for her,  and leave them so that she may glean
them and rebuke her not. This teaches once again that the wealthy man must help the poor person by giving him/her charity in the form of food or money.

Hell in Paradise (Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii)

                                               Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii 8-11-2023, courtesy washington post We watch in horror how Lahaina was burnt to a crisp the week of 8-6-23. How can such a beautiful tourist town be wiped out in barely seconds? There were no warnings, no predictions. It happened so quickly perhaps hundreds or maybe even thousands died within the blink of an eye. The death toll as of August 11, 2023 is 55. It will definitely go up as many are unaccounted for.   Many parts of the island have lost communication as cell phone towers were melted. Mankind is no match for nature which is from G-d. It is interesting to note that end days or b'acharis hayamim equals exacly  earlier days or ka yamim harishonim. Both equal 726. Technology can be set back to cave times in a heart beat as witnessed in Hawaii.        Based on my study of Bible/Torah you cant blame climate change but it is based on Judgment from the One above,  who keeps perfect score of every entity across the

thoughts on Poway and charlotte terrorist attacks

Chabad Poway, CA, scene of terrorist attack How can innocent people be mowed down? What crime did they do? Do we have answer? Do we have a clue? Where is justice in this world?  With aid of Gematria, we have a clue into the real mysteries of this world that are basically unanswerable.  In the Torah reading called Mikeitz, Pharoah, king of ancient Egypt, tells Joseph, "I dreamt a dream but there is no interpretation." The phrase in Hebrew is Chalom Chalamti ufoseir ain oso. The Gematria of this term is 1726. A dream with no interpretation are like the tragic events happening all over the world. Things happening and there is no interpretation. No one seems to know why. See Genesis 41:15. Another phrase in the Torah with the same Gematria can be found at Deut. 32:4, where it says, Hatzur  tamim pu'u'lo ki chul di'ruchuv mishpat, or the Rock perfect is His work, for all his paths are justice. Rashi says it refers to reward and punishment. We see the same th

Uvalde Massacre

Image
                                                 courtesy :  yahoo news, some of the victims of Uvalde Massacre We wonder in disbelief how can such an act of brutality happen in this world. One tragic story happens and then another one and then another one. How can we explain these acts of wanton senseless, murder? From a Jewish perspective and from one who studies Bible/Torah, I can share some thoughts. I learned the following from my uncle Sholom Langner. The Torah sections are the following in the book of leviticus; acharei mos , kedoshim, emor . Or, after the death, holy ,,,you can say....It means that only after one dies, the person is sanctified and or that we must say the kadish prayers after the death of a loved one. Kadish prayers are an ancient prayer written in Aramic which praises God in the midst of our pain and suffering. This shows us our true faith in God. Now, what qualifications do I have to talk about the pain and suffering of the families of these victims? Did I suf
