Miriam's Tambourine

 

"Miriam's Tambourine" - Michoel Muchnik


Miriam, the prophetess, Aaron's sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women came out after her with tambourines and with dances [Beshalach 15:20]

The righteous women did not delegate their responsibilities to their leader, Miriam the prophetess. Rather, each and every woman made for herself a tambourine, in a personal effort to trust in G-d's redemption and rejoice in it when it comes.

There is always a temptation to leave the responsibility of inspiring the people to Jewish leaders. However, we can learn from the righteous women in Egypt that it is every single person's obligation to inspire his or herself and all of the people that he or she comes into contact with.

Parshat haMann: The Chapter of the Manna

Art: Heidi Malott


Rebbe Menachem Mendel of Riminov [1745-1815], a disciple of the Holy Rebbe Elimelech of Lizhensk, instructed everyone to read "Parshat HaMann" specifically on the Yom Shlishi [Tuesday] of Parshat Beshalach in the "Shnayim Mikra v'Echad Targum" format, i.e. reading the Hebrew verses twice and the Aramaic translation of Onkelos once.   This year it will occur today Tuesday 27 January.

Not to be confused with the evil villain of the Purim story, Parshat haMann [The Chapter of the Manna] is found in the 16th Chapter of the Book of Exodus: verses 4-36. This Chapter details the episode of the miraculous "Manna" [bread from heaven] that sustained the Children of Israel during their 40-year journey in the desert.

Rav Yosef Caaro, the "mechaber" [compiler] of the monumental Halachic text, the Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 1:5, instructs us to recite it daily. Other giants of Halacha also point to the importance of reciting it daily: The Tur 1; Aruch Hashulchan 1:22; Shulchan Aruch HaRav 1:9.

By so doing, every Jew acknowledges that his/her livelihood comes from only from Hashem. Reciting the Parshat HaMann daily strengthens one's Emuna and Bitachon [belief and trust] in HASHEM, and is a "Segula for Parnassa" [auspicious for having a healthy income].

No Coincidence

 

What the mainstream media won't say. 


The Board of "Peace"

These were my thoughts during Shabbos.  They may be right, or they may be wrong.


According to Google AI, the cost of re-building Gaza is $70 billion.  To raise this money, Trump has set up his "Board of Peace" and countries are asked to contribute $1 billion to become a full member. 

So, are we looking at 70 countries contributing $1 billion each?

And what could possibly go wrong with this "Board of Peace".... well, that doesn't take too much imagination.

These 70 countries would make up the Magog part of Gog u Magog...... we already know who the Gog part is.

This image shows the first countries to join, since then Russia has signed on, and he also invited the Pope....but because the mainstream media is so pathetic, it's impossible to find out a complete list of countries to date.  But I did read somewhere that Trump had 60 potentials on his list, and no doubt as the Master of the Deal he'll fully fund his desired re-building of Gaza, by hook or by crook.
