Ekev
14 Av 5784 (August 18, 2024)

Tu Be-Av (the 15th of Av) is this Monday, and our Sages tell us that this day is the most positive day in the entire year. It is the day when harmony reigns in the entire universe between all vessels and the Light of the Creator. The energy of this day gives us the potential of completing our tikun without the use of any tools. Even though we don't have to read the Megilah or blow the shofar or light the chanukiah, we should still give this day recognition and be aware of the amazing energy flowing into our world at that time. The Temples were destroyed because of sinat chinam (hatred without reason). Tu Be-Av is the antidote of ahavat chinam (love without reason) which has the power to restore the Temple, and to restore the fallen state of humanity. Tu Be-Av invites us to give unconditional love a chance, and gives us the hope and promise of a new era and a new world.

Shavua tov,

Tu Be-Av is This Monday
Tu Be-Av is a minor holiday, however it is one of the most powerful days of the year. The sun is at it's zenith on Tu Be-Av. Our Sages teach that Yom Kippur was atonenment for the sin of the Golden Calf, and Tu Be-Av represents the atonement for the sin of the Meraglim (Spies).According to Kabbalah, it is the most joyous day of the year because harmony reigns in the universe between all vessels and the Creator's Light.

NEW Ana BeChoach & Parashat Bereshit Daily Meditation
Considered by the Kabbalists to be the most powerful and mystical prayer of all. This sequence of Hebrew letters embodies the force of creation and is also known as the 42-Letter Name of the Creator. Following the Ana BeChoach is the first chapter of Bereshit which is divided into the days of the week. Kabbalah teaches that each day has a specific sequence of Hebrew letters that correspond to each day, month and season of the year. At the end of each daily reading one can simply meditate on the letters of that particular day. It is located in the Tefilot Section of our Siddur.

Tzedakah
The word צדקה "tzedakah" in Hebrew often is translated as charity, but it actually comes from the root צדק "tzedek" which means righteousness. The addition of the letter ה "Hei" connects righteousness to Malchut. Many people say "giving" tzedakah, but the more appropriate phrase is "doing" tzedakah. Tzedakah is in many ways an exchange of energy and is a visible expression of gratitude in this world for that which we have received, especially when we receive it from an organization that helps us to grow spiritually. We thank you in advance for your generosity and support. Click Here to make an online donation. Visit our DONATE page in order to donate using other methods.
