Blessings Before Torah Study

Blessed are You, Ha-Shem our G-d, King of the universe, Who has sanctified us through Your commandments,
and commanded us to actively study Torah. Amen!

Please Ha-Shem, our G-d, sweeten the words of Your Torah in our mouths and in the mouths of all Your people
Israel. May we and our offspring, and our offspring's offspring, and all the offspring of Your people, the House
of Israel, may we all, together, know Your Name and study Your Torah for the sake of fulfilling Your delight.
Blessed are You, Ha-Shem, Who teaches Torah to His people Israel. Amen!

Page 4 of 43
 BS”D (B’Siyata D’Shamaya)
Aramaic: With the help of Heaven

Blessed are You, Ha-Shem our G-d, King of the universe, Who chose us from all the nations, and gave us the
Torah. Blessed are You, Ha-Shem, Giver of the Torah. Amen!

Ha-Shem spoke to Moses, explaining a Commandment. "Speak to Aaron and his sons, and teach them the
following Commandment: This is how you should bless the Children of Israel. Say to the Children of Israel:

May Ha-Shem bless you and keep watch over you; - Amen!
May Ha-Shem make His Presence enlighten you, and may He be kind to you; - Amen!
May Ha-Shem bestow favor on you, and grant you peace. – Amen!

This way, the priests will link My Name with the Israelites, and I will bless them."

These are the Laws for which the Torah did not mandate specific amounts: How much growing produce must
be left in the corner of the field for the poor; how much of the first fruits must be offered at the Holy Temple;
how much one must bring as an offering when one visits the Holy Temple three times a year; how much one
must do when performing acts of kindness; and there is no maximum amount of Torah that a person must
study.

These are the Laws whose benefits a person can often enjoy even in this world, even though the primary reward
is in the Next World: They are: Honoring one's father and mother; doing acts of kindness; early attendance at
the place of Torah study -- morning and night; showing hospitality to guests; visiting the sick; providing for
the financial needs of a bride; escorting the dead; being very engrossed in prayer; bringing peace between two
people, and between husband and wife; but the study of Torah is as great as all of them together. Amen!

[On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the produce of the land, you will keep
the feast of the Lord seven days ... ] And you will take on the first day (the fruit of goodly trees, branches of
palm trees and boughs of leafy trees and willows of the brook; and you will rejoice before the Lord your God
seven days. You will keep it as a feast to the Lord seven days in the year; it is a statute for ever throughout
your generations; you will keep it in the seventh month. You will dwell in booths for seven days; all that are
native in Israel will dwell in booths, that your generations may know that I made the people of Israel dwell in
booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God (Leviticus 23:39-43).

XXVII:I

R. Abba bar Kahana commenced [discourse by citing the following verse]: “Take my instruction instead of silver,
and knowledge rather than choice gold (Prov. 8:10).” Said R. Abba bar Kahana, ‘Take the instruction of the Torah
instead of silver. Take the instruction of the Torah and not silver.’ Why do you weigh out money? [Because there is
no bread] (Is. 55:2). Why do you weigh out money to the sons of Esau [Rome]? [It is because] there is no bread,
because you did not sate yourselves with the bread of the Torah. And [why] do you labor? Because there is no
satisfaction (Is. 55:2). Why do you labor while the nations of the world enjoy plenty? Because there is no satisfaction,
that is, because you have not sated yourselves with the bread of the Torah and with the wine of the Torah. For it is
written, “Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine I have mixed” (Prov. 9:5).

R. Berekhiah and R. Hiyya, his father, in the name of R. Yose b. Nchorai: It is written, “I will punish all who oppress
him” (Jer. 30:20), even those who collect funds for charity [and in doing so, treat people badly], except [for those
who collect] the wages to be paid to teachers of Scripture and repeaters of Mishnah traditions. For they receive [as a
salary] only compensation for the loss of their time, [which they devote to teaching and learning rather than to earning
a living]. But as to the wages [for carrying out] a single matter in the Torah, no creature can pay the [appropriate] fee
in reward.

It has been taught on Tannaite authority: On the New Year, a person's sustenance is decreed [for the coming year],
except for what a person pays out [for food in celebration] of the Sabbath, festivals, the celebration of the New
Month, and for what children bring to the house of their master [as his tuition]. If he deducts [from what he should
give], [in Heaven] they deduct [from his wealth], but if he adds [to what is originally decreed], [in Heaven] they add
to his [resources]. [Margulies, Vayyiqra Rabbah, p. 688, n. to 1. 5, links this statement to Prov. 8:10.]

R. Yohanan was going up from Tiberias to Sepphoris. R. Hiyya bar Abba was supporting him. They came to a field.
He said, "This field once belonged to me, but I sold it in order to acquire merit in labor in the the Torah."
They came to a vineyard, and he said, "This vineyard once belonged to me, but I sold it in order to acquire merit in
labor in the the Torah." They came to an olive grove, and he said, "This olive grove once belonged to me, but but I
sold it in order to acquire merit in labor in the the Torah." R. Hiyya began to cry. Said R. Yohanan, "Why are you
crying?" He said to him, "It is because you left nothing over to support you in your old age." He said to him,
"Hiyya, my disciple, is what I did such a light thing in your view? I sold something which was given in a spell of six
days [of creation] and in exchange I acquired something which was given in a spell of forty days [of revelation). The
entire world and everything in it was created in only six days, as it is written, “For in six days the Lord made heaven
and earth” (Ex. 20:11). But the Torah was given over a period of forty days and forty nights, as it was said, “And he
was there with the Lord for forty days and forty nights” (Ex. 34:28). [Leviticus Rabbah adds: And it is written, “And
I remained on the mountain for forty days and forty nights” (Deut. 9:9).]"

When R. Yohanan died, his generation recited concerning him [the following verse of Scripture]: “If a man should
give all the wealth of his house for the love (Song 8:7), with which R. Yohanan loved the Torah, he would be utterly
destitute” (Song 8:7). When R. Abba bar Hoshaiah of Tiria died, they saw his bier flying in the air. His generation
recited concerning him [the following verse of Scripture]: “If a man should give all the wealth of his house for the

Page 11 of 43
 BS”D (B’Siyata D’Shamaya)
Aramaic: With the help of Heaven

love , with which the Holy One, blessed be He, loved Abba bar Hoshaiah of Tiria, he would be utterly destitute”
(Song 8:7). When R. Eleazar b.Simeon died, his generation recited concerning him [the following verse of Scripture]:
“Who is this who comes up out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, (perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with
all the powders of the merchant?)” (Song 3:6). What is the meaning of the clause, “With all the powders of the
merchant?” [Like a merchant who carries all sorts of desired powders,] he was a master of Scripture, a repeater of
Mishnah traditions, a writer of liturgical supplications, and a poet.

Another interpretation of the verse, “Take my instruction instead of silver, (and knowledge rather than choice gold)”
(Prov. 8:10): Said R. Abba bar Kahana, On the basis of the reward paid for one act of taking, you may assess the
reward for [taking] the palm branch [on the festival of Tabernacles]. There was an act of taking in Egypt: “You will
take a bunch of hyssop” (Ex. 12:22). And how much was it worth? Four manehs, maybe five. Yet that act of taking
is what stood up for Israel [and so made Israel inherit] the spoil of Egypt, the spoil at the sea, the spoil of Sihon and
Og, and the spoil of the thirty-one kings. Now the palm-branch, which costs a person such a high price, and which
involves so many religious duties - how much the more so [will a great reward be forthcoming on its account]!
Therefore Moses admonished Israel, saying to them, “(On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have
gathered in the produce of the land, you will keep the feast of the Lord seven days...) And you will take on the
first day (the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm trees and boughs of leafy trees and willows of the brook;
and you will rejoice before the Lord your God seven days. You will keep it as a feast to the Lord seven days in
the year; it is a statute forever throughout your generations; you will keep it in the seventh month. You will
dwell in booths for seven days; all that are native in Israel will dwell in booths, that your generations may
know that l made the people of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the
Lord your God” (Leviticus 23:39-43).

XXVII:II

“You show me the path of life, [in your presence there is fullness of joy] (Ps. 16:11). Said David before the Holy
One, blessed be He, "Lord of the ages, show me the open gateway to the life of the world to come." R. Yudan and R.
Azariah: R. Yudan said, "David said before the Holy One, blessed be He, 'Lord of the ages, show me the path
of life.' Said the Holy One, blessed be He, to David, 'If you seek life, look for fear, as it is said, “The fear of the Lord
prolongs life” (Prov. 10:27)." R. Azariah said, "[The Holy One, blessed be He], said to David, 'If you seek life, look
for suffering (YYSWRYN), as it is said, “The reproofs of discipline (MWSR) are the way of life” (Prov. 6:23)."
[Leviticus Rabbah adds: Rabbis say, "The Holy One, blessed be He, said to David, 'David, if you seek life, look for
Torah,' as it is said, “It is a tree of life to those that hold fast to it” (Prov. 3:18)." R. Abba said, "David said before the
Holy One, blessed be He, 'Lord of the ages, Show me the path of life.' Said to him the Holy One, blessed be He, 'Start
fighting and exert yourself! Why are you puzzled? [Lieberman, in Margulies, Vayyiqra Rabbah, p. 880, to p. 692].
Work and eat: Keep my good deeds and live (Prov. 4:4)."']

“The fulness (SWB`) of joy in your presence (Ps. 16:11): Satisfy (SB'NW) us with five joys in your presence:
Scripture, Mishnah, Talmud, Supplements, and Lore.

Another matter: “In your presence is the fullness of joy” (Ps. 16:11): Read not fullness (SWB`) but seven (SB').
These are the seven groups of righteous/generous men who are going to receive the face of the Presence of God.
And their face is like the sun, moon, firmament, lightning, stars, lilies, and the candelabrum that was in the house of
the sanctuary. How do we know that it is like the sun? As it is said, “Clear as the sun” (Song 6:10). How do we know
that it is like the moon? As it is said, “As lovely as the moon” (Song 6:10). How do we know that it is like the
firmament? As it is said, “And they that are wise will shine as the brightness of the firmament” (Dan. 12:3). How do
we know that it is like the lightning? As it is said, “Their appearance is like torches, they run to and fro like lightning”
(Nah. 2:5). And how do we know that it is like the stars? As it is said, “And they that turn the many to
righteousness/generosity as the stars forever and ever” (Dan. 12:3). How do we know that it is like lilies? As it is
said, “For the leader: upon the lilies (Ps. 69:1). How do we know that it will be like the candelabrum of the house
of the sanctuary? As it is said, “And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, I looked and behold [there
was] a candelabrum all of gold” (Zech. 4:2).

Page 12 of 43
 BS”D (B’Siyata D’Shamaya)
Aramaic: With the help of Heaven

“At your right hand is bliss for evermore” (Ps. 16:11). Said David before the Holy One, blessed be He, "Lord of the
ages, now who will tell me which group [among those listed above] is the most beloved and blissful of them all?"
There were two Amoras [who differed on this matter]. One of them said, "It is the group that comes as representative
of the Torah and commandments, as it is said, ‘With a flaming fire at his right hand’ (Deut. 33:2)." And the other
said, "This refers to the scribes, the Mishnah repeaters, and those who teach children in their fear, who are going to
sit at the right hand of the Holy One, blessed be He. That is in line with the following verse of Scripture: ‘I keep the
Lord always before me, because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved’ (Ps. 16:8)."

Another matter concerning the verse “You show me the path of life, in Your presence there is fullness of joy, in Your
right hand are pleasures for evermore” (Ps. 16:11): “In Your presence there is fullness (SWB`) of joy” (Ps. 16:11):
[Leviticus Rabbah adds: Read only "seven (SB`) joys."] These are the seven religious duties associated with the
Festival [Tabernacles]. These are they: the four species that are joined in the palm branch, [the building of] the
Tabernacle, [the offering of] the festal sacrifice, [the offering of] the sacrifice of rejoicing.

If there is the offering of the sacrifice of rejoicing, then why is there also the offering of the festal sacrifice? And if
there is [the offering of] the festal sacrifice, then why also is there [the offering of] the sacrifice of rejoicing? Said R.
Abin, "The matter may be compared to two who came before a judge. Now we do not know which one of them is the
victor. But it is the one who takes the palm branch in his hand who we know to be the victor. So is the case of Israel
and the Gentiles of the world. The [latter] come and draw an indictment before the Holy One, blessed be He, on the
New Year, and we do not know which party is victor. But when Israel goes forth from before the Holy One, blessed
be He, with their palm branches and their citrons in their hands, we know that it is Israel that are the victors.” Therefore
Moses admonishes Israel, saying to them, “[On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered
in the produce of the land, you will keep the feast of the Lord seven days ...] And you will take on the first day
(the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm trees and boughs of leafy trees and willows of the brook; and you
will rejoice before the Lord your God seven days. You will keep it as a feast to the Lord seven days in the year;
it is a statute for ever throughout your generations; you will keep it in the seventh month. You will dwell in
booths for seven days; all that are native in Israel will dwell in booths, that your generations may know that I
made the people of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your
God” (Leviticus 23:39-43).

XXVII:III

“He will regard the prayer of the destitute (and will not despise their supplication)” (Ps. 102:17): Said R. Reuben,
"We are unable to make sense of David's character. Sometimes he calls himself king, and sometimes he calls himself
destitute. How so? When he foresaw that righteous/generous men were going to come from him, such as Asa,
Jehoshaphat, Hezekiah, and Josiah, he would call himself king as it is said, “Give the king your judgments, O God”
(Ps. 72:1). When he foresaw that wicked/lawless men would come forth from him, for example, Ahaz, Manasseh,
and Amon, he would call himself destitute, as it is said, “A prayer of one afflicted, when he is faint [and pours out
his complaint before the Lord]” (Ps. 102:1).”

R. Alexandri interpreted the cited verse “He will regard the prayer of the destitute [and will not despise their
supplication]” (Ps. 102:17) to speak of a worker: "[Margulies, ad loc., explains: The one afflicted is the worker. The
word for faint, `TP, bears the meaning, cloak oneself, hence in prayer. The worker then has delayed his prayer, waiting
for the overseer to leave, at which point he can stop and say his prayer. So he postpones his prayer.] [So Alexandri
says], "Just as a worker sits and watches all day long for when the overseer will leave for a bit, so he is late when he
says [his prayer], [so David speaks at Ps. 102:1: Hear my prayer, O Lord; let my cry come to you]." That
[interpretation of the word 'TP] is in line with the use in the following verse: “And those that were born late belonged
to Laban” (Gen. 30:42). What is the meaning of those that were born late? R. Isaac bar Haqolah said, "The
ones that tarried."

Page 13 of 43
 BS”D (B’Siyata D’Shamaya)
Aramaic: With the help of Heaven

[Another interpretation: “He will regard the prayer of the destitute [and will not despise their supplication]” (Ps.
102:17) - Said R. Simeon b. Laqish, "As to this verse, the first half of it is not consistent with the second half, and
vice versa. If it is to be, “He will regard the prayer of the destitute [individual],' he should then have said, “And will
not despise his supplication.” But if it is to be, “He will not despise their supplication,” then he should have said, “He
will regard the prayer of those who are destitute.” But [when David wrote,] “He will regard the prayer of the individual
destitute,” this [referred to] the prayer of Manasseh, king of Judah. And [when David wrote,] “He will not despise
their supplication,” this [referred to] his prayer and the prayer of his fathers. That is in line with the following verse
of Scripture: “And he prayed to him, and he was entreated of him” (2 Chron. 33:13). What is the meaning of the
phrase, He was entreated (Y'TR) of him? Said R. Eleazar b. R. Simeon, "In Arabia they call a breach an athirta [so
an opening was made for his prayer to penetrate to the Throne of God]" (Slotki, p. 385, n. 3). “And he brought him
back to Jerusalem. (his kingdom)” (2 Chron. 33:13). How did he bring him back? R. Samuel b. R. Jonah said in the
name of R. Aha, "He brought him back with a wind.” That is in line with the phrase [in The Prayer], “He causes the
wind to blow." [At that moment:] “And Manasseh knew that the Lord is God” (2 Chron. 33:13). Then Manasseh
said, "There is justice and there is a judge."

R. Isaac interpreted the verse “He will regard the prayer of the destitute (and will not despise their supplication)” (Ps.
102:17) to speak of these generations which have neither king nor prophet, neither priest nor Urim and Thummim,
but who have only this prayer alone. Said David before the Holy One, blessed be He, 'Lord of the ages, "Do not
despise their prayer. Let this be recorded for a generation to come' (Ps. 102:19). On the basis of that statement, [we
know that] the Holy One, blessed be He, accepts penitents. “So that a people yet unborn may praise the Lord” (Ps.
102:19). For the Holy One, blessed be He, will create them as a new act of creation."

Another interpretation: “Let this be recorded for a generation to come” (Ps. 102:18): This refers to the generation of
Hezekiah, [Leviticus Rabbah adds: which was tottering toward death]. “So that a people yet unborn may praise
the Lord” (Ps. 102:18): for the Holy One, blessed be He, created them in a new act of creation.

Another interpretation: “Let this be recorded for a generation to come” (Ps. 102:18): This refers to the generation of
Mordecai and Esther, which was tottering toward death. “So that a people yet unborn may praise the Lord”
(Ps. 102:18): for the Holy One, blessed be He, created them in a new act of creation.

Another interpretation: “Let this be recorded for a generation to come” (Ps. 102:18): This refers to these very
generations [in our own day], which are tottering to death. “So that a people yet unborn may praise the Lord” (Ps.
102:18): For the Holy One, blessed be He, is going to create them anew, in a new act of creation.

What do we have to take [in order to reach that end]? Take up the palm branch and citron and praise the Holy One,
blessed be He. Therefore Moses admonishes Israel, saying, “[On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you
have gathered in the produce of the land, you will keep the feast of the Lord seven days...] And you will take
on the first day (the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm trees and boughs of leafy trees and willows of the
brook; and you will rejoice before the Lord your God seven days. You will keep it as a feast to the Lord seven
days in the year; it is a statute forever throughout your generations; you will keep it in the seventh month. You
will dwell in booths for seven days; all that are native in Israel will dwell in booths, that your generations may
know that I made the people of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: l am the
Lord your God” (Leviticus 23:39-43).

XXVII:IV

“Let the field exult and everything in it. (Then will all the trees of the wood sing for joy before the Lord, for He
comes, for He comes to judge the earth)” (Ps. 96:12-13): “(Let the field exult)” refers to the world, as it is said, “And
it came to pass, when they were in the field” (Gen. 4:8) [and determined to divide up the world between them]. “And
everything in it” refers to creatures.

Page 14 of 43
 BS”D (B’Siyata D’Shamaya)
Aramaic: With the help of Heaven

That is in line with the following verse of Scripture: “The earth is the Lord's, and all that is in it” (Ps. 24:1). “Then
will all the trees of the wood sing for joy” (Ps. 96:12). And there is the verse: “Then will all the trees of the forest
shout for joy” (1 Chron. 16:33). Said R. Aha, “The forest and all the trees of the forest.” "The forest” refers to fruit-
bearing trees. "And all the trees of the forest” encompasses those trees that do not bear fruit. Before whom? “Before
the Lord” (Ps. 96:14). Why? For he comes on New Year and on the Day of Atonement. To do what? To judge the
earth. “He will judge the world with righteousness/generosity, and the peoples with his truth” (Ps. 96:13).

XXVII:V

“I wash my hands in innocence and go about Your altar, O Lord, (singing aloud a song of thanksgiving, and telling
all Your wondrous deeds)” (Ps. 26:6-7): [What I require I acquire] through purchase, not theft. [Leviticus Rabbah
adds:] For we have learned there: A stolen or dried up palm branch is invalid. And one deriving from an asherah or
an apostate town is invalid (M. Suk. 3:1A-B). “And go about your altar, O Lord” (Ps. 26:7). That is in line with what
we have learned there: Every day they circumambulate the altar one time and say, “We beseech You, O Lord, save
now. We beseech You, O Lord, make us prosper now” [Ps. 118:25]. R. Judah says, “I and him, save now.” On that
day they circumambulate the altar seven times (M. Suk. 4:5).

“Singing aloud a song of thanksgiving” (Ps. 26:7) - this refers to the offerings. “And telling all your wondrous deeds”
(Ps. 26:7): Said R. Abun, This refers to the Hallel Psalms [Ps. 113-118], which contain [praise for what God has
done] in the past, also [what He has done] during these generations, as well as what will apply to the days of the
Messiah, to the time of Gog and Magog, and to the age to come. "When Israel went forth from Egypt” (Ps. 114:1)
refers to the past. "Not for us, O Lord, not for us” (Ps. 115:1) refers to the present generations. "I love for the Lord to
hear” (Ps. 116:1) refers to the days of the Messiah. "All the nations have encompassed me” (Ps. 118:10) speaks of
the time of Gog and Magog. "You are my God and 1 will exalt You” (Ps. 118:28) speaks of the age to come."

Please Ha-Shem, our G-d, sweeten the words of Your Torah in our mouths and in the mouths of all Your people
Israel. May we and our offspring, and our offspring's offspring, and all the offspring of Your people, the House
of Israel, may we all, together, know Your Name and study Your Torah for the sake of fulfilling Your delight.
Blessed are You, Ha-Shem, Who teaches Torah to His people Israel. Amen!

Blessed are You, Ha-Shem our G-d, King of the universe, Who chose us from all the nations, and gave us the
Torah. Blessed are You, Ha-Shem, Giver of the Torah. Amen!

Ha-Shem spoke to Moses, explaining a Commandment. "Speak to Aaron and his sons, and teach them the
following Commandment: This is how you should bless the Children of Israel. Say to the Children of Israel:

May Ha-Shem bless you and keep watch over you; - Amen!
May Ha-Shem make His Presence enlighten you, and may He be kind to you; - Amen!
May Ha-Shem bestow favor on you, and grant you peace. – Amen!

This way, the priests will link My Name with the Israelites, and I will bless them."

These are the Laws for which the Torah did not mandate specific amounts: How much growing produce must
be left in the corner of the field for the poor; how much of the first fruits must be offered at the Holy Temple;
how much one must bring as an offering when one visits the Holy Temple three times a year; how much one
must do when performing acts of kindness; and there is no maximum amount of Torah that a person must
study.

These are the Laws whose benefits a person can often enjoy even in this world, even though the primary reward
is in the Next World: They are: Honoring one's father and mother; doing acts of kindness; early attendance at
the place of Torah study -- morning and night; showing hospitality to guests; visiting the sick; providing for
the financial needs of a bride; escorting the dead; being very engrossed in prayer; bringing peace between two
people, and between husband and wife; but the study of Torah is as great as all of them together. Amen!

Pesiqta deRab Kahana

Pisqa Twenty-Seven (Part II)

[On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the produce of the land, you will keep
the feast of the Lord seven days ... ] And you will take on the first day (the fruit of goodly trees, branches of
palm trees and boughs of leafy trees and willows of the brook; and you will rejoice before the Lord your God
seven days. You will keep it as a feast to the Lord seven days in the year; it is a statute for ever throughout
your generations; you will keep it in the seventh month. You will dwell in booths for seven days; all that are
native in Israel will dwell in booths, that your generations may know that I made the people of Israel dwell in
booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God (Leviticus 23:39-43).

XXVII:VI

And you will take [for yourselves] (Lev. 23:40): R. Hiyya taught, "The act of taking must be accomplished by each
and every one of you." "For yourselves" - for every one of you. They must be yours and not stolen.

Page 20 of 43
 BS”D (B’Siyata D’Shamaya)
Aramaic: With the help of Heaven

Said R. Levi, "One who takes a stolen palm branch - to what is he comparable? To a thief who sat at the cross roads
and mugged passersby. One time a legate came by, to collect the taxes for that town. [The thug] rose before him and
mugged him and took everything he had. After some time the thug was caught and put in prison. The legate heard
and came to him. He said to him, 'Give back what you grabbed from me, and I'll argue in your behalf before the king.'
He said to him, 'Of everything that I robbed and of everything that I took, I have nothing except for this rug that is
under me, and it belongs to you.' He said to him, 'Give it to me, and I'll argue in your behalf before the king.' He said
to him, 'Take it.' "He said to him, 'You should know that tomorrow you are going before the king for judgment, and
he will ask you and say to you, "Is there anyone who can argue in your behalf," and you may say to him, "I have the
legate, Mr. So-and-so, to speak in my behalf," and he will send and call me, and I will come and argue in your behalf
before him.' The next day they set him up for judgment before the king. The king asked him, saying to him, 'Do you
have anyone to argue in your behalf?' He said to him, 'I have a legate, Mr. So-and-so, to speak in my behalf.' The
king sent for him. He said to him, 'Do you know anything to say in behalf of this man?' He said to him, 'I do indeed
have knowledge. When you sent me to collect the taxes of that town, he rose up before me and mugged me and took
everything that I had. That rug that belongs to me gives testimony against him.' Everyone began to cry out, saying,
'Woe for this one, whose defense attorney has turned into his prosecutor.' So a person acquires a palm branch to
attain merit through it. But if it was a stolen one, [the branch] cries out before the Holy One, blessed be He, 'I am
stolen! I am taken by violence.' And the ministering angels say, 'Woe for this one, whose defense attorney has turned
into his prosecutor!'"

XXVII:VII

[On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered the produce of the land, you will keep the feast
of the Lord seven days;] on the first day [will be a solemn rest] (Lev. 23:40). This in fact is the fifteenth day, yet you
speak of the first day! R. Mana of Sheab and R. Joshua of Sikhnin in the name of R. Levi said, "The matter may be
compared to the case of a town which owed arrears to the king, so the king went to collect [what was owing]. [When
he had reached] ten mils [from the town], the great men of the town came forth and praised him. He remitted a third
of their [unpaid] tax. When he came within five mils of the town, the middle-rank people came out and acclaimed
him, so he remitted yet another third [of what was owing to him]. When he entered the town, men, women, and
children, came forth and praised him. He remitted the whole [of the tax]. Said the king, 'What happened, happened.
From now on we will begin keeping books [afresh].' "So on the eve of the New Year, the Israelites repent, and the
Holy One, blessed be He, remits a third of their [that is, Israel's] sins. On the ten days of repentance from the New
Year to the Day of Atonement outstanding individuals fast, and the Holy One, blessed be He, remits most of their
[that is, Israel's] sins. On the Day of Atonement all Israel fasts, so the Holy One, blessed be He, forgives them for all
their sins [Leviticus Rabbah: says to Israel, 'What happened, happened. From now on we will begin keeping books
afresh].'"

Said R. Aha, "For with you there is forgiveness (Ps. 80:4). From the New Year forgiveness awaits you. Why so long?
So that You may be feared (Ps. 80:4). To put Your fear into creatures. From the Day of Atonement to the Festival,
all the Israelites are kept busy with doing religious duties. This one takes up the task of building his tabernacle, that
one preparing his palm branches. On the first day of the Festival, all Israel they take their palm branches and citrons
in their hand and praise the Holy One, blessed be He. The Holy One, blessed be He, says to them, 'What happened,
happened. From now on we will begin keeping books [afresh].'" Therefore Scripture says, On the first day. What is
the sense of the first day? It is first in the task of reckoning sins [done in the future], that is, from the first day of the
festival.

XXVII:VIII

On the first day (Lev. 23:40): By day and not by night. On the...day - even on the Sabbath. On the first day - only the
first day [of the Festival] overrides the restrictions [of Sabbath rest. When the Sabbath coincides with other than the
first day of the Festival, one does not carry the palm branch.]

Aramaic: With the help of Heaven

[And you will take...) the fruit of a goodly tree [branches of palm trees and boughs of leafy trees and willows of the
brook) (Lev. 23:40). R. Hiyya taught, "A tree: the taste of the wood and fruit of which is the same. This is the citron."
Goodly (HDR): Ben Azzai said, "[Fruit] that remains [HDR] on its tree from year to year." Aqilas the proselyte
translated [HDR] as, "That which dwells by water (Greek: hudor)." Branches of a palm tree (Lev. 23:40): R. Tarfon
says, "[As to branch of palm tree (KPWT)], it must be bound. If it was separated, one has to bind (YKPWT) it up."
Boughs of leafy trees: The branches of which cover over the wood. One has to say, "This is the myrtle." Willows of
the brook: I know only that they must come from a brook. How do I know that those that come from a valley or a hill
[also are valid]? Scripture says, "And willows of a brook." Abba Saul says, "'And willows of the brook' refers to the
requirement that there be two, one willow for the palm branch, and a willow for the sanctuary." R. Ishmael says, "The
fruit of goodly trees' indicates one; 'branches of palm tree' also one; 'boughs of leafy trees,' three; 'willows of the
brook,' two. Two [of the myrtles] may have the twigs trimmed at the top, and one may not." R. Tarfon says, "Even
all three of them may be trimmed."

XXVII:IX

R. Aqiba says, "The fruit of goodly (HDR) trees refers to the Holy One, blessed be He, concerning whom it is written,
You are clothed with glory and majesty (HDR) (Ps. 104:1). "Branches of palm trees refers to the Holy One, blessed
be He, concerning whom it is written, The Righteous/Generous One will flourish like a palm tree (Ps. 92: 13).
"Boughs of leafy trees refers to the Holy One, blessed be He, concerning whom it is written, And he stands among
the leafy trees (Zech. 1:8). "And willows of the brook refers to the Holy One, blessed be He, concerning whom it is
written, Extol him who rides upon the willows, whose name is the Lord (Ps. 68:5)."

Another interpretation: The fruit of goodly (HDR) trees (Lev. 23:40): This refers to Abraham, whom the Holy One,
blessed be He, honored (HDR) with a goodly old age, as it is said, And Abraham was an old man, [coming along in
years](Gen. 24:1). [Leviticus Rabbah adds:] And it is written, And you will honor (HDR) the face of an old man
(Lev. 19:32). Branches (KPWT) of palm trees (Lev. 23:40): This refers to Isaac, who was tied (KPWT) and bound
upon the altar. And boughs of leafy trees (Lev. 23:40): This refers to Jacob. Just as a myrtle is rich in leaves, so Jacob
was rich in children. Willows of the brook (Lev. 23:40): This refers to Joseph. Just as the willow wilts before the
other three species do, so Joseph died before his brothers did.

Another interpretation: The fruit of goodly trees (Lev. 23:40): This refers to Sarah our mother, whom the Holy One,
blessed be He, honored with a goodly old age, as it is said, And Abraham and Sarah were old (Gen. 18:11). Branches
of palm trees (Lev. 23:40): this refers to Rebecca our mother. Just as a palm tree contains both edible fruit and thorns,
so Rebecca produced a righteous/generous and a wicked son [Jacob and Esau]. Boughs of leafy trees (Lev. 23:40):
this refers to Leah our mother. Just as a myrtle is rich in leaves, so Leah was rich in children. And willows of the
brook (Lev. 23:40): this refers to Rachel our mother. Just as the willow wilts before the other three species do, so
Rachel died before her sister.

Another interpretation: The fruit of goodly trees (Lev. 23:40) refers to the great Sanhedrin of Israel, which the Holy
One, blessed be He, honored (HDR) with old age, as it is said, You will rise up before old age (Lev. 19:32). Branches
(KPWT) of palm trees (Lev. 23:40): this refers to disciples of sages, who compel (KWPYN) themselves to study
Torah from one another. Boughs of leafy trees refers to the three rows of disciples who sit before them. And willows
of the brook (Lev. 23:40): this refers to the court scribes, who stand before them, one on the right side, the other on
the left, [and write down the opinions of those who vote to acquit and those who vote to convict].

Another interpretation: The fruit of goodly trees refers to Israel. Just as a citron has both taste and fragrance, so in
Israel are people who have [the merit of both] Torah and good deeds. Branches of palm trees (Lev. 23:30): refers to
Israel. Just as a palm has a taste but no fragrance, so in Israel are people who have [the merit of] Torah but not of
good deeds. Boughs of leafy tree refers to Israel. Just as a myrtle has a fragrance but no taste, so in Israel are people
who have the merit of good deeds but not of Torah. Willows of the brook refers to Israel. Just as a willow has neither
taste nor fragrance, so in Israel are those who have the [merit] neither of Torah nor of good deeds. Said the Holy One,
blessed be He, "Utterly to destroy them is not possible rather, let them all be joined together in a single bond, and

Page 22 of 43
 BS”D (B’Siyata D’Shamaya)
Aramaic: With the help of Heaven

they will effect atonement for one another. And if you have done so, at that moment I will be exalted." Therefore
Moses admonishes Israel: [On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the produce of the
land, you will keep the feast of the Lord seven days...] And you will take on the first day (the fruit of goodly trees,
branches of palm trees and boughs of leafy trees and willows of the brook; and you will rejoice before the Lord your
God seven days. You will keep it as a feast to the Lord seven days in the year; it is a statute for ever throughout your
generations; you will keep it in the seventh month. You will dwell in booths for seven days; all that are native in
Israel will dwell in booths, that your generations may know that I made the people of Israel dwell in booths when I
brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God (Leviticus 23:39-43 ).

XXVII:X

R. Berekhiah in the name of R. Levi: "[God speaks], Through the merit [attained in fulfilling the commandment],
And you will take for yourself on the first day... (Lev. 23:40), lo, I will be revealed to you first; I will exact punishment
for you from the first one; I will build for you first; and bring to you the first one. I will be revealed for you first,

the first (Jer. 17:12). And I will bring to you the first one, namely, the King Messiah, concerning whom it is

Blessings Before Torah Study

Blessed are You, Ha-Shem our G-d, King of the universe, Who has sanctified us through Your commandments,
and commanded us to actively study Torah. Amen!

Please Ha-Shem, our G-d, sweeten the words of Your Torah in our mouths and in the mouths of all Your people
Israel. May we and our offspring, and our offspring's offspring, and all the offspring of Your people, the House
of Israel, may we all, together, know Your Name and study Your Torah for the sake of fulfilling Your delight.
Blessed are You, Ha-Shem, Who teaches Torah to His people Israel. Amen!

Blessed are You, Ha-Shem our G-d, King of the universe, Who chose us from all the nations, and gave us the
Torah. Blessed are You, Ha-Shem, Giver of the Torah. Amen!

Ha-Shem spoke to Moses, explaining a Commandment. "Speak to Aaron and his sons, and teach them the
following Commandment: This is how you should bless the Children of Israel. Say to the Children of Israel:

May Ha-Shem bless you and keep watch over you; - Amen!
May Ha-Shem make His Presence enlighten you, and may He be kind to you; - Amen!
May Ha-Shem bestow favor on you, and grant you peace. – Amen!

This way, the priests will link My Name with the Israelites, and I will bless them."

These are the Laws for which the Torah did not mandate specific amounts: How much growing produce must
be left in the corner of the field for the poor; how much of the first fruits must be offered at the Holy Temple;
how much one must bring as an offering when one visits the Holy Temple three times a year; how much one
must do when performing acts of kindness; and there is no maximum amount of Torah that a person must
study.

These are the Laws whose benefits a person can often enjoy even in this world, even though the primary reward
is in the Next World: They are: Honoring one's father and mother; doing acts of kindness; early attendance at
the place of Torah study -- morning and night; showing hospitality to guests; visiting the sick; providing for

the financial needs of a bride; escorting the dead; being very engrossed in prayer; bringing peace between two
people, and between husband and wife; but the study of Torah is as great as all of them together. Amen!

6. The wind goes toward the south, and turning around to the north; the wind is going around and around. And the

10. Is there a thing of which one might say, See this, it is new? It has already been for the ages which were before us.
11. There is no memory of former things; yes, nor is there any memory for them of things which will be afterward,
with those who will be at the last.
12. I, the Preacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
13. And I gave my heart to seek and to investigate by wisdom concerning all which is done under the heavens. It is
an evil task God has given to the sons of men, to be afflicted by it.
14. I have seen all the works which are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and striving after wind!
15. What is crooked cannot be made straight, and that lacking cannot be numbered.
16. I spoke with my heart, saying, Lo, I have become great and have increased wisdom over all that have been over
Jerusalem before me. Yea, my heart has seen much wisdom and knowledge.
17. And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness, and folly. I know that this also, it is striving after
wind.
18. For in much wisdom is much grief; and he who increases knowledge increases pain.

1. I said in my heart, Come now, I will test you with mirth. Therefore, consider with goodness. And behold, this also
is vanity.
2. I said of laughter, It is madness, and of mirth, What does it do?
3. I sought in my heart how to drag my flesh with wine, and leading my heart in wisdom; and to lay hold on folly,
until I might see where the good for the sons of men is, that which they should do under the heavens the number of
days of their life.
4. I made my works great; I built houses for myself; I planted vineyards for myself;
5. I made gardens and parks for myself; and I planted trees in them of every fruit;
6. I made pools of water for myself; to water from them the forest shooting forth trees;
7. I bought slaves and slave girls, and the sons of the house were mine. Also livestock, a herd and a great flock were
mine, above all that were before me in Jerusalem.
8. I also gathered to me silver and gold, and the treasure of kings and of provinces. I made ready male singers and
female singers for myself; and the delights of the sons of men, a concubine, and concubines.
9. And I became great and increased more than all who were before me in Jerusalem; also my wisdom stayed with
me.
10. And all that my eyes desired, I did not set aside from them. I withheld not my heart from all joy; for my heart
rejoiced from all my labour; and this was my part from all my labour.
11. Then I faced on all my works that my hands had done, and on the labour that I had laboured to do. And, lo, all is
vanity and striving after wind, and there is no profit under the sun.
12. And I turned to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly. For what can a man do who comes after the king, when
they have already done it?
13. Then I saw that there is advantage to wisdom above folly, even as light has advantage over darkness.
14. The wise man's eyes are in his head, but the fool walks in darkness; and I also know that one event happens with
all of them.
15. And I said in my heart, As the event of the stupid one, even so it will happen to me; and why then was I more
wise? Then I said in my heart that this also is vanity.

19 a great noise [Heb. ‫ ַרעַּׁש‬,] through noise and thunder, as he states.

20 and the cliffs shall fall [Heb. ‫הַ מַ ְד ִרגֹות‬.] I heard that they are perpendicular hanging rocks, which appear to be
falling, but I say that they are mounds of the towers, for they dig around and cast up the earth in the center to raise
the mound, and it is made into steps, eschelons, eschillons in Old French, steps, in order that the earth remain, and
after it is pressed down well, they remove the forms that hold up the step.

21 And I will call the sword against him upon all My mountains for the sword to come upon them, against him.
“And I will call” means, I will prepare. And what is the sword that I will call against him? Their own sword: “every
man’s sword shall be against his brother.”

22 and great hailstones Hailstones that glisten like precious stones named ‫גָּבִ יּׁש‬, crystal, as the matter is stated (Job
28:18): “Coral and crystal (‫ )וְ גָּבִ יּׁש‬.” Our Sages said (Ber. 54b): ‫עַל גַב ִאיּׁש‬: Hailstones that started to fall on Egypt, and
stood in the air over the man (‫ )עַל גַב ִאיּׁש‬, Moses, who prayed that they not fall, as the matter that is stated (Exod.

will entice (‫ )י ִַשיא‬him.”

7 and I will no longer cause My Holy Name to be profaned For Israel’s degradation is a profanation of His Name,
“inasmuch as it is said of them, ‘these are the people of the Lord’” (above 36:20), and He is unable to save them.

through. Therefore, they will pass by them and bury them. Menachem (p. 91) interprets it in his book (Machbereth)
to mean that they will close their nose so as not to smell the odor of the corpses.

13 They will bury all the people of the land because they died there.
and they will be renowned All the nations will speak their name as praise and as a sign of kindness: “There are no
nations as compassionate as this one; do you find a man who buries his enemy who rose up against him to kill him?”

those who are left on the surface of the land far from the crossing. Those who cross the sea will not occupy
themselves with burying them. Those designated to devote themselves to this purpose will bury them.

at the end of seven months the majority of the corpses visible to the eye will have been buried; from then on they
will probe through the land in the hidden places, in the briars and among the thorns, and bury whomever find.

15 And when they that pass through the land shall pass Wayfarers who see a human bone will construct a marker
next to it as a sign that there is a bone of a dead body there, in order that wayfarers and those who prepare ritually
pure food should stay away from it.

Blessed are You, Ha-Shem our G-d, King of the universe, Who has sanctified us through Your commandments,
and commanded us to actively study Torah. Amen!

Please Ha-Shem, our G-d, sweeten the words of Your Torah in our mouths and in the mouths of all Your people
Israel. May we and our offspring, and our offspring's offspring, and all the offspring of Your people, the House

of Israel, may we all, together, know Your Name and study Your Torah for the sake of fulfilling Your delight.
Blessed are You, Ha-Shem, Who teaches Torah to His people Israel. Amen!

Blessed are You, Ha-Shem our G-d, King of the universe, Who chose us from all the nations, and gave us the
Torah. Blessed are You, Ha-Shem, Giver of the Torah. Amen!

Ha-Shem spoke to Moses, explaining a Commandment. "Speak to Aaron and his sons, and teach them the
following Commandment: This is how you should bless the Children of Israel. Say to the Children of Israel:

May Ha-Shem bless you and keep watch over you; - Amen!
May Ha-Shem make His Presence enlighten you, and may He be kind to you; - Amen!
May Ha-Shem bestow favor on you, and grant you peace. – Amen!

This way, the priests will link My Name with the Israelites, and I will bless them."

These are the Laws for which the Torah did not mandate specific amounts: How much growing produce must
be left in the corner of the field for the poor; how much of the first fruits must be offered at the Holy Temple;
how much one must bring as an offering when one visits the Holy Temple three times a year; how much one
must do when performing acts of kindness; and there is no maximum amount of Torah that a person must
study.

These are the Laws whose benefits a person can often enjoy even in this world, even though the primary reward
is in the Next World: They are: Honoring one's father and mother; doing acts of kindness; early attendance at
the place of Torah study -- morning and night; showing hospitality to guests; visiting the sick; providing for
the financial needs of a bride; escorting the dead; being very engrossed in prayer; bringing peace between two
people, and between husband and wife; but the study of Torah is as great as all of them together. Amen!

Koheleth (Ecclesiastes) 2:16 - 3:22

16. For there is not a memory of the wise more than with the fool forever, in that already the days to come will be
forgotten. And how does the wise die above the fool?
17. So then I hated life; because the work that is done under the sun is evil to me; for all is vanity and striving after
wind.
18. Yes, I, a labourer, hated all my labour under the sun, that I must leave it to the man who will be after me.
19. And who knows if he will be wise or a fool? Yet he will rule among all my labour in which I laboured, and
acted wisely under the sun. This is also vanity.
20. And I turned to make my heart despair over all the labour which I laboured under the sun.
21. When there is a man whose labour is with wisdom, and with knowledge, and with advantage; yet he will give it
to a man who has not laboured with it, for his share; this also is vanity and a great evil.
22. For what is there for man in all his labour, and in striving of his heart, which he did as a labourer under the sun?
23. For all his days are pains, and his task is grief; his heart does not even take rest in the night. Even this also is
vanity.
24. Is it not good that he should eat and drink and make his soul see good in his labour? This I also saw, that it was
from the hand of God.
25. For who can eat, or who can enjoy, apart from me?
26. For God gives wisdom, and knowledge and joy to a man who is good in His sight. But to the sinner He gives
the task of gathering and to heap up, to give to him who is good before God. This also is vanity and striving after
wind.

1. To all there is an appointed time, even a time for every purpose under the heavens:
2. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pull up what is planted;
3. A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to build up;
4. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5. A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from
embracing;
6. A time to seek, and a time to give up as lost; a time to keep, and a time to throw away;
7. A time to tear, and a time to sew together; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8. A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
9. What advantage has he who works in that which he did as a labourer?
10. I have seen the task which God has given to the sons of men, to be humbled by it.
11. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, He has set eternity in their heart, without which man cannot
find out the work that God makes from the beginning even to the end.
12. I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice to do good in his life.
13. And also every man that eats and drinks, and sees good in his labour, it is the gift of God.
14. I know that whatever God does, it will be forever; nothing is to be added to it, and nothing is to diminish from
it. And God does it so that they fear before Him.

15. That which has been, it already is; and that which is to be, it already has been. And God seeks what has gone
by.
16. And again I saw under the sun the place of justice: wickedness/lawlessness is there; and the place of
righteousness/generosity, wickedness/lawlessness is there.
17. I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous/generous and the wicked/lawless; for there is a time there for
every good purpose and for every work.
18. I said in my heart concerning the issue of the sons of men, that God may test them and see that they by
themselves are beasts.
19. For that which happens to the sons of men, and that which happens to beasts, even one event is to them. As this
one dies, so that one dies; yea, one breath is to all; so that there is to the man no advantage over the beast; for all is
vanity.
20. All go to one place; all are of the dust, and all return to the dust.
21. Who knows the spirit of the sons of man, whether it goes upward; and the spirit of the beast, whether it goes
downward to the earth?
22. And I have seen that nothing is better than that the man should rejoice in his works; for that is his portion; for
who can bring him to see what shall be after him?

7. And to the angel of the congregation in Philadelphia, write: These things/words says the Holy One, the True
One, the One having the keys of David, who opens and there is none who shuts, and shuts and there is none
who opens (Isa. 22:22).
8. “I know your works and behold, I have set an opened door before you, and no one is able to shut, for you
have little strength and you have observed My Word (Torah), and have not denied my name/authority.
9. Behold, I give out those of the synagogue of HaSatan saying that they are Jewish, and they are not, but they
lie [being themselves Gentiles]. Behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and to know
that I loved you [my Jewish people].
10. Because you kept the Word (Torah) of my patience, I also will keep you out of the hour of trial which is
going to come on all the inhabited world in order to prove those dwelling on the earth.
11. Behold, I am coming quickly. Hold fast to what you have that no one take your crown [of Torah].
12. The one overcoming, I will make him a pillar in the Temple of G-d, and he will not go out from it anymore.
And I will write the name of my G-d upon him, and the name of the city of my G-d, the new Yerushalayim
which comes down out of Heaven from my G-d, and my own new name.
13. The one who has ears, hear what the Spirit [of G-d] says to the [Jewish] congregations.
