This follows our friend in Palm Beach who earlier told us about the Miracle in Iran.

Rabbi Winston: Parashas Shemini
THE SIRENS USED to go off once a day, maybe twice. And they didn’t seem to go off at the most inconvenient times either, and even as late as Purim people didn’t seem to be fazed by the possibility of missiles reaching them or doing damage.
But then, everything changed. The Iranians started sending more missiles and more dangerous ones as well. The destruction worsened and deaths started to increase. All of a sudden, during the week of Pesach, there were constant booms in the distance, and even the closing of a car door made one stop and pay more close attention to what is happening at the moment. It’s made Pesach cleaning even more difficult and tiring.
As if that weren’t enough, it was cold and rainy. For many families, especially with young children, the outdoors is an essential part of Pesach cleaning. It’s where the kids eat leftover chometz or newly bought chometz (pizza) while their parents purge the indoors of any that is remaining. It’s where the parents send their children so they can get the “job” done in time for the chag. The rain took the outdoors away. The “Irainians” took away even the indoors.
Yes, the miracles to date have been tremendous. Yes, we feel the “Clouds of Glory” catching missiles on our behalf. Yes, there are incredible stories of near misses and last-minute salvations. But, sometimes it seems like G–D is standing between us and the fulfillment of a mitzvah He asked us to do! There is something wrong with the “equation,” between two plus two doesn’t always seem to equal four.
The truth is, it does—always. This is what Nachum Ish Gamzu tried to teach us with statements like, “This too is for the good” when the opposite seemed true. It is what Rebi Akiva echoed when he proclaimed, “All that G–D does He does for the good” while he experienced the worst life had to offer. It wasn’t apologetic. It was their way of saying that if the equation of life seems incorrect to you, you “copied” it down wrong, probably leaving out some variable.
That variable is “Y,” or more to the point, “Why.” That “why” asks about why something that happened that doesn’t make sense to us makes sense to G–D. It has to, or it could never happen. We may not see how, but even a butterfly doesn’t flap its wings unless G–D tells it to each time, among everything else that He makes happen in all of Creation every moment that it exists.
For example, why were the deaths of Nadav and Avihu at the pinnacle of the inauguration of the Mishkan a necessary part of the initiation process? Even G–D hinted to this back in Parashas Tetzaveh (similar to Tzav) as Rashi brings down there. That’s where He told Moshe that on the day of the inauguration He would be sanctified through His holy ones. It’s just that Moshe had thought it would be him and Aharon, and not Nadav and Avihu.
The answer to this question turns history on its head and, for that matter, a lot of people who misunderstand what history is really like and why. A doctor once told a patient who asked, “Why am I sick?” that they shouldn’t ask why they were sick. Rather, he said, "Ask why you aren’t sick more often given all the billions of things that can go wrong in the body at moment of time!”
History too. We live with the notion that history is generally good and orderly and that only on occasion it goes awry. Then we ask why, as it is totally usually unexpected and, as far as we’re concerned, really should not have happened, but did anyhow.
Kabbalah has a different view. It says, “Don’t ask why things went wrong. Ask instead about how the things that went right went right!” For example, how could there even be a temple, or even a Mishkan?” The forces of chaos that seem to be the undercurrent of history should not have allowed them. They certainly were exceptions to the rule, which is why they did not last forever.
How did we come to expect everything to go right and become so disappointed when it doesn’t? A lot of times it comes from the body which constantly hopes for comfort and runs from pain. Other times it might come from the soul which intuitively knows that if G–D makes something, it must be inherently good, even perfect.
And it is. But as the episode of Nadav and Avihu and this current “Persian War” remind us, G–D’s idea of perfection and ours can differ at this stage of history. The world won’t change for the better when Moshiach comes. What will change will be our ability to see how “better” had been there all through history, and why it was necessary to camouflage it in calamity until the yetzer hara was gone and the world became filled with Da’as Elokim.
Knowing this in your head and your heart not only brings comfort, but it also provides direction. It tells a person how to proceed in life so that they can invest their hopes and expectations where they can help and not hinder. When they have been wrong, they have left Jews stranded psychologically and physically, not something you want to happen as history winds down, and being in the right place at the right time is crucial for survival.
Almost finished my third edit of Sha'ar HaGilgulim, b"H, the Arizal's teachings on reincarnation and personal rectification, I have decided to teach the material as a course using ZOOM. I have not quite finalized the format or cost per series, but the idea would be to allow ongoing discussion to clarify points relevant to the material in real time. Discounts will be available on the actual hardcover book, and the PDF version will be free to anyone who signs up for at least one series. If you interested in this idea, I would appreciate knowing at pinchasw@thirtysix.org.

Rabbi Wein - Shmini 5773/2013
WEEKLY PARSHA FROM THE DESTINY ARCHIVES
Shmini 5773/2013
After the seven days of excitement and joy upon the consecration of the Mishkan and the installation of Aharon and his sons as the priests of Israel devoted to the service of G–D and humans, tragedy strikes the family of Aharon and all of Israel. The commentators to Torah as well as the Talmud itself searched for the causes that created this sad situation. They attempted to answer the omnipresent question of life – why do bad things seemingly happen to good people? And there is a corollary question involved here as well – why did tragedy strike then and there?
Far be it for me to venture into explanations where greater people than I have been troubled and found it difficult to properly answer these questions. The will of G–D remains inscrutable to all of us in all times and in all circumstances. Yet Judaism, in its essence, remains a religion of logic and rationality, all rumors to the contrary notwithstanding.
Maimonides bids us to attempt to understand and explain all of G–D’s commandments and human events to the best of our rational abilities. So, these most basic questions of human existence and personal and national purpose, of reward and punishment and Divine justice must command our attention, even if at the end of our search we still will come up somewhat short on satisfying answers. The questions underlying the events described in the parsha of Shmini go to the heart of Jewish faith and worldview. They require investigation and serious analysis.
A review of the opinions expressed in Talmud and by the commentators, do not at first glance reveal any major transgressions on the part of Nadav and Avihu. True, Aharon’s role in helping create the Golden Calf may explain his being brought to grieving for his two eldest sons, but it was Nadav and Avihu who died, not Aharon.
Their sins seem to be only minor human foibles that are common to almost all of us – unwillingness to bear the responsibilities of marriage and parenthood, personal ambition to lead the people and overzealousness in their worship of G–D and in the service of the Mishkan by introducing a ritual of different fire on the altar not commanded by G–D. We see here, once again, that the Torah places great emphasis on the small things in life, on the details and not only on the grand sweep of things.
Small mistakes often lead to great tragedies. And the Torah teaches us that personal failures that can be tolerated in most humans are magnified and are not overlooked when they occur to people in positions of power and leadership. The scale of Heavenly tolerance, so to speak, is a sliding one, dependent on the status, accomplishments, abilities and public position of the human person being judged.
There is a special sin offering reserved for the leader of Israel. The accepted usual sin offering is insufficient if we are dealing with the sins of leadership. This is one of the key lessons of this parsha. G–D’s justice is personal and exacting. Nadav and Avihu are the prime examples of this truism.

Rabbi Berel Wein
Reb Ginsbourg: Why is the Chag called Pesach
Why is the Chag called Pesach - Passover?
The Darchei Noam says this alludes to Hashem ‘passing-over’ a פתח: an opening the size of the eye of a needle.
He brings the Midrash Shir Hashirim, where Hashem says: ‘Open for Me an opening the size of the eye of a needle, and I will open for you a passage through which you can drive wagons’.
On the day that Bnei Israel left Egypt, they did not have merit even the size of ‘the eye of a needle’ - but Hashem in His mercy, ‘passed-over’ this lack of a פתח, and took them out.jjjj
This message is also behind our second question,:
Why does the Torah call the day of the Exodus שבת - Shabbat "- calling the following day מחרת השבת : ‘the day after Shabbat’? - that being the day on which we start ‘counting the omer’ ?
Answers Rav Elimelech miDinov: Shabbat was solely established and fixed by Hashem - at Creation - with no involvement whatsoever by man, on which - as we brought - Bnei Israel had no ‘role’, as they had no merits, and were redeemed by Hashem, who ‘passed-over’ their ‘nakedness’.
Third question: Why is it called the Omer? the ‘counting of the omer’, which - as we brought - commences on that ‘day after Shabbat’.
Rav Yaakov Tzvi Meklenburg - the ‘Haktav veHakabalah - notes that nowhere else do we find an offering being called by its measure - as is the case with the omer - which is the measure of the first harvest brought and waved by the Kohen.
Posits the sage: it would have been more apt to call it ‘the offering of the bikurim’: of the first of the harvest.
However, it is called ‘counting the omer’, because that word also alludes to another matter: enslavement - as in Parashat Ki Tetze: where we read of one takes another person והתעמר בו - and enslaves him.
This is the underlying meaning of ‘counting the Omer’ - noting our ascending enslavement to Hashem, day by day, over the fifty day period, till we attain the pinnacle of subjugation at Matan Torah.
Indeed this is explicit in Hashem’s answer to Moshe’s query - in Parashat Shemot: מי אני כי אלך אל פרעה ואוציא את בני ישראל ממצרים? Who am I to go to Pharoah, and to take Bnei Israel out of Egypt? - to which Hashem answered: Because I will be with you, and in the third month of your departure from Egypt, תעבדון : you shall become enslaved to Hashem, by receiving the Torah, on this mountain.
This leads us to our fourth - and final kushia:
We say in the prelude to our nightly counting of the Omer : ‘Seven weeks fifty days’.
Why do we stop counting at forty-nine, and not count ‘fifty’ on the last night?
The answer can be found in Parashat Mishpatim, which relates the events of the reading from the ספר הברית : ‘the Book of the Covenant’, that being the occasion on which Bnei Israel accepted their total subjugation to Hashem and the Torah, declaring: ‘All that Hashem says, we shall do and we shall heed’:
כל אשר דיבר ה' נעשה ונשמע
Rav David Cohen - the Chevron Rosh Yeshivah - expounds that a covenant between two parties, requires each to give something which ‘is carved from them’.
In our covenant, Hashem gave us the Torah, and we - for our part - gave something very precious to man : our independence and freedom, accepting total subjugation to Hashem’s Will.
This - as Rashi notes - occurred on the Fifth of Sivan - on which we count the forty-ninth day of the ‘counting of the Omer’.
Since we then accepted our total enslavement to Hashem, the objective of the counting was concluded - and therefore there is no purpose - or need - to count the fiftieth day!
So now you have the answers to questions that were not a result of the Seder table or the Seder itself.
And you know the answers to the four kushiyot!
👑Rabbi Dov Lando is a gift from God that we received:
Maran Rabbeinu Shlit"a to Degel Hatorah representatives: 'Thank God we have good leaders, Rabbi Dov is a gift from God that we received, he is not afraid of anyone except God Almighty'Maran Posk Hador HaGari Yilberstein Shlit"a instructed the representatives of Degel Hatorah in the Bnei Brak municipality who came to his residence to be blessed with the blessing of the pilgrimage: 'Even when we meet with errant brothers - we can speak to them nicely, so that they feel that it is not hatred but out of love' | Listen to the words courtesy of the 'Sheach Yitzhak' channel: As is customary every holiday, members of the Bnei Brak municipal council on behalf of Degel Hatorah, together with the deputy mayor of the city, Rabbi Menachem Shapira, and Deputy Mayor, Rabbi Gedaliah Silman, went for a high holiday visit to a member of the Council of Torah Elders and Rabbi of 'Ramat Elchanan', Maran Rabbeinu Shlit"a, in order to be blessed and to hear guidance and pure Torah wisdom on matters The hour. Our Rebbe devoted his time and guided them in the path of public conduct, and in the manner of approach desired as public figures meeting with our brothers who have not yet been blessed with a complete repentance. Below is a transcript of our Rebbe's full words, from a recording published today on the 'Sheach Yitzchak' line from the Torah of our Rebbe: "In God's name, we have good leaders. Rabbi Dov is something tremendous. I studied with him in the yeshiva. Rabbi Dov is a gift from God that we received. He is not afraid of any human being, except for the Blessed One. He does not know what fear is, and this is a very great thing for us." "What is incumbent upon us to do at this hour? To sanctify the name of heaven..., our representatives, our conduct and our speech. In God's name, we have a great Rabbi and this is Rabbi Dov. Our conversations should be about making a good impression on people. I'll tell you what a good impression is. I live in Ramat Gan. I'm considered a Bnei Baraki because I'm here all day long, and when I'm not here, I'm here too. But I live in Ramat Chen. I want to tell you something very, very interesting. Suddenly, on the last Hanukkah, my neighbor, who is the head of the heretics, lit Hanukkah candles. "I asked him, look, excuse me, what happened here? So he said to me: I want to tell you something. You speak to me nicely. When I pass by you, you say hello nicely. And I was sure that when I pass by you, you would spit in my face. But you say hello very nicely. And I decided that I would light Hanukkah candles. This is a very strange thing... What's wrong? You spoke to me nicely. "Then I remembered something, the learned Maran HaGris Elyashiv ztzu"l believed that the greatest of the generation in teaching was Maran Posk of the generation, Rabbi Moshe Feinstein ztzu"l. He always told me that Rabbi Moshe is the greatest of the generation, after all, he studied Shas so many times. "Then I saw a story about him that was told about him, that terrible guys lived next to him, and he would always greet them very nicely, except once, on Shabbat, when he wouldn't want to look at them, he would close his eyes, and he wouldn't want to see them. But except on Shabbat, he would always greet them nicely. "And the neighbors said, we saw the image of a human being. We are wicked, and we should spit on us, but no, he would show them a beautiful face and greet them nicely, except on Shabbat, when there are no tricks! "And Rabbi Moshe said, I acted with this more than with all the other actions in the world, and all the haters became my friends. I learned something from it." "Our representatives need to know, God willing, we have a good rabbi, but we need to know that personally, we should not speak disdainfully to any person, but rather speak nicely. As Rabbi Moshe Feinstein did. "We have people in our party who are very sharp like fire, oh and woe to those who encounter them, but we need to remember that Rabbi Moshe Feinstein is also our rabbi, and he did not do that, he spoke nicely to them. And look what happened to me when the neighbors started lighting Hanukkah candles." "Our behavior should be in accordance with our rabbi, who is Rabbi Dov, and we also need to know that there is a case for speaking nicely, in the way of the land, even though he is my enemy, even though he wishes me well.... I will still wish him good things." To the question of one of those present: "Is this also said about someone who is a disbeliever in the Torah of Moses?", Our Rebbe responded and said: "I will tell you a story. In Russia, the authorities announced that only those who are apostates and a disbeliever in the Torah can live here. There was one man there who was the worst and would publicly desecrate the Sabbath, and he said everything: 'I will do anything except apostate,' and he left all his possessions and ran away, the main thing is not to apostate. "And Maran Chofetz Chaim zt"l explained, everyone has a Jewis...
Pesach in the Holy Temple on Har HaMoriah
Passover in the Holy Temple!
Nisan 16, 5786/April 3, 2026
Every year the citizens of Israel would pack up their necessities and set out from their homes for Jerusalem to celebrate Passover, the Festival of Freedom, with the entire nation. The pilgrimage itself was an adventure, with many stops along the way before arriving, at last in Jerusalem, where the pilgrims arranged lodging for the holiday, received the purifying ashes of the red heifer, if necessary, and then swiftly made their way to the Holy Temple, where, on the eve of the Passover holiday, they would slaughter their Passover offerings. And then back down from the Mount and off to the Jerusalem courtyards where they would roast their Pascal lambs. Nightfall and the people gathered around their Seder spreads to tell the story of Israel's exodus from Egypt, passing the story of freedom from generation to generation. And that was just the start of the seven day holiday of Passover!
Join Shlomo ben Ezra and his family, in 2nd Temple times, as they make their way to Jerusalem and celebrate Passover with all Israel!

Israeli Underwater Excavations Reveal Earliest Hoard of Iron Blooms From 600 B.C.E.
The earliest evidence of a grouping of iron blooms has been discovered in a shipwreck off the Carmel coast. A recent study announcing the discovery was published in NPJ Heritage. According to the researchers, the analysis of the ancient cargo “provides unique and unprecedented insight into early bloom production, handling and maritime transport during the Iron Age”—around 2,600 years ago, the time of the biblical King Josiah.
On today’s program, host Brent Nagtegaal interviews lead author Prof. Tsilla Eshel of the School of Archaeology and Maritime Cultures, University of Haifa, about the discovery.
what are "iron blooms"?
“
Iron blooms are
porous, solid masses of iron and slag produced by smelting iron ore in a furnace called a bloomery. Primarily used as a precursor to wrought iron, they are hammered while hot to expel slag and consolidate the metal, also known as "sponge iron".Usage Examples
- Wrought Iron Production: Hammering to remove slag and create forged, malleable iron billets for tools and weapons.
Also known as:
- Sponge Iron: Refers to the porous mixture of metallic iron and slag produced in the bloomery.
- Bloomery Iron: Iron directly produced from a bloomery.

👑Thirsting for the Divine Abundance That Is Upon Him: Maran Posk Hador Rabbi Yitzhak Zilberstein ...
Torah Honor Ceremony: Ramat Elchanan gathered to welcome the Rishtavut Maran Grad Lando Shlit"a
Maran Posek Hador HaGari Zilberstein Shlit"a opened the ceremony with a prayer to strengthen the strength of the leader of the generation | A fascinating Responsorial Psalm with topical questions was also held with our Rabbeinu for the yeshiva students on the occasion of the days of the intervening years | Watch the recordings from the historical ceremony A magnificent ceremony in honor of the Torah was held last Thursday (Parashat Tzo) for the yeshiva students of the 'intervening years - those who are filled with joy' seminar in Ramat Elchanan, when the leader of the generation Rishtavut Maran Grad Lando Shlit"a arrived to deliver words of encouragement to the hundreds of students, and to strengthen them in the burden of the period leading up to the holiday of Passover. The ceremony, which was held in the hall of the Chassidim school, was graced by the rabbis of the neighborhood, led by Maran Posk Hador HaGari Zilberstein, Shlita, the great Rabbi Yehuda Silman Shlita and the rabbi of the Chassidim school in the neighborhood, the great Rabbi of the city, the great Rabbi Masoud ben Shimon Shlita and the rabbi of the Sephardic school in the neighborhood, and the great Rabbi Menachem Zvi Berlin Shlita, the son-in-law of Rabbi Chaim Ozer, and the Gaon Rabbi Dov Meir Tenenbaum Shlita (son-in-law of the Pohad, and the rabbi of Kiryat Melech), and hundreds of yeshivot in Ramat Elchanan. Our Master, Shlita, excitedly and respectfully welcomed his friend and fellow Master, Rosh Ha-Yeshiva, the Grattan Lando Shlita, with heartfelt words: "We welcome the light of our eyes, the beloved of our souls, we all thirst for his Torah, we all thirst for his fear, we all thirst for the divine abundance that is upon him, our Master, our valiant Rabbi Dov Lando Shlita, we all thirst to hear his words. We have gathered here, small and large, in the Ramat Elchanan neighborhood, wanting to hear words from our holy Master, may he live and be long-lived." And here our Master addressed the crowd that filled the courtroom, and said: "I have a request, since we want our Master to be healthier than he is now, the people of Israel need his health. I would now like to ask everyone to recite a chapter of Tehillim, and we would ask the Blessed One that our Rebbe, may he receive more health, and be able to influence the people of Israel more, and that we all be blessed by this, the stronghold of his might. I would like to recite a chapter of Tehillim, and we would ask the Holy One, blessed be He, to add days upon days of a king. We want to see his might, him and his family, and all the good things of his life. I will say, let him say verse, and everyone will say verse after verse. We ask God for long life for our Rabbi Shlita. After reciting the chapter 'Yoshav Besit' (a song of afflictions, as a prayer also for the situation), our Rabbi concluded by saying: "We ask God on behalf of all of us, we all want God to send complete healing and long life and I will see him in my salvation, we all want to see our Rabbi's greatness flourish and prosper and all good things come to pass." ** In the center of the gathering, we listened with reverence to the exalted message of the leader of the generation, Maran Rosh Ha-Yeshiva Shlita, on the duty of the period, and detailed guidance for the days between times: "By the permission of the Maro Da'tra Shlita and the rabbis of the neighborhood Shlita and the rabbis of the Ge'onim Shlita. It is very important and necessary that many yeshiva students and kollelim take advantage of the days between times to acquire additional Torah treasures. The story is known by the name of the Gaon Rabbi Raphael Shapira of Volazin, the son-in-law of the Netziv and the father-in-law of Rabbi Chaim Brisker, that the yeshiva students are happy that they can study whatever they want in between times, very happy, everyone can study whatever they want. "One must study deeply, analyze the subject, calculate the methods to understand well the words of the Rishonim. He who studies the subject and knows it well with all the details, is the happiest person in the world!!! He who is grounded in the Torah, grounded in the attainment of the Torah, grounded in the attachment to the Torah, in the love of the Torah, in the 'evening of the evening' of the Torah, is the happy one." "You have no free man, a true free man, but one who engages in the Torah. God has promised us that the Torah will not depart from our mouths and the mouths of our descendants. We are commanded to study day and night. Studying the Torah in any situation and at any time is an obligation and a privilege.

Behind Enemy Lines - RESCUE IN IRAN
