Which part of the Torah do you love studying most?
The five female IDF observers from Nahal Oz, including Agam Berger, made a conscious effort to follow Jewish observance even while being held in Gaza. They refused to eat leavened bread on Passover and attempted to fast on Yom Kippur despite their captors’ cruelty. At least one of the former captives was also careful to observe Shabbat and keep kosher during her captivity.
This is the first week in over 15 months that they will have the opportunity to light Shabbat candles. Will you join them?
Just yesterday we celebrated Rosh Chodesh Shevat (the first day of the Jewish month of Shevat which blesses all the days of the month). The blessing of the birthing of the new month is the very first mitzvah in the Torah and we read about it in this week's Torah portion, Parshat Bo.
All birth in this world comes only after a moment of darkness.
Birth means something new. We actually never see the exact moment when the old becomes new. But Moses did see it—once for eternity.
G-d showed Moses the new moon at its moment of rebirth, and said to him: “When the moon is reborn, mark the beginning of a new month.”
As we now read the story of Exodus, the “book in which Israel goes from darkness to light”—the story of loss and renewal, suffering and growth—the process of death and birth—we gather strength and fortitude in our own lives from the events that took place well over 3,000 years ago.
On the next Rosh Chodesh, when it's time for the new moon to arrive, go outside and look up at the sky. If we look hard enough perhaps we may get a glimpse of what Moses saw. But even if we don't, our very gaze into the dark heavens, looking, searching, yearning, for the sliver of the new moon’s birthing, carries immense power that can help us though any challenge.
Today, the moon is a tiny bit brighter than it was yesterday.
Light Shabbat candles 18 minutes before sundown in your city and add to the glow.
Shabbat Shalom!
Our nation is strong. We are here and will be here for eternity.
Am Yisrael Chai!
Light. Love. Live. For Am Yisrael.
And for Yocheved—an everlasting, brilliant spark of Am Yisrael—in whose loving memory we bring you these weekly messages.
After 482 days in Hamas captivity, Agam Berger shared this message on her way home:
"With the path of faith, I chose to live.
With the path of faith, I return home.
Thank you to the entire Jewish nation and our heroic IDF soldiers.
There's nobody like you in the world!"
