LONGMONT, CO — Allison Cole released the week’s frustrations on a 9-by-12-inch canvas at the Chabad Center of Longmont’s Jewish painting and meditation workshop last week.
The Rebbe says:
1. Our Sages comment on a verse in this week’s Torah portion which reads, “And Yisro (Jethro) said, “Blessed is Hashem (G-d) Who rescued you (the Jewish people)”, and say, “It is a blemish in Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses our teacher) and the Jewish people who did not say, ‘Blessed’, until Yisro came and said, ‘Blessed’”.
However we must understand what this means because, as we read in last week’s Torah portion, Moshe Rabbeinu and the Jewish people did indeed thank Hashem when they sang to Him as they were walking through the Yam Suf (the sea of reeds)! Why do our Sages say that “it is a blemish in Moshe Rabbeinu and the Jewish people”?
2. The Rebbe begins the journey of answering this question by introducing another issue:
CROWN HEIGHTS [CHI] — This week the Yagdil Torah Beis Midrash will host Rabbi Yosef Barber, who will be covering the topic of “What You Do If You Don’t Have Lechem Mishna”. It is well known that the most fulfilling shiurim are the ones that are thoroughly understood due to familiarity with the subject being learned. Rabbi Barber, who will be giving this week’s shiur following the Beis Midrash learning, will kindly provide a list of Marei Mekomos for those who wish to prepare for an enjoyable shiur during the first hour of the Beis Midrash. The list of source texts will be available exclusively at the Beis Midrash.
