Download or read book Simanim Parsha Mnemonics written by Aaron L. Raskin and published by . This book was released on 2022-03-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long before the invention of the printing press, if an average person wanted to study Torah, they would have to write one out by hand. No small feat. As we know, there are no punctuation marks in Torah?--?let alone chapter headings or page numbers.Therefore, rabbis living in the seventh to tenth centuries came up with a brilliant solution: They created Simanim or Parsha mnemonics with a specific numeric value that indicated the exact number of verses in each Torah portion. These one-word alphanumeric cyphers have appeared in printed chumashim for centuries, yet the fact that they hold deeper significance has gone largely unnoticed?--?until now.This book offers new ideas for "cracking the code" of the Simanim, revealing hidden mysteries and beautiful life lessons that will bring anyone who studies them a deeper connection with Torah and mitzvos.
Download or read book Letters of Light written by Aaron L. Raskin and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a carpenter employs tools to build a home, so G-d utilized twenty-two letters of the Alef-Bais to form the heaven and earth. They are the metaphorical wood, stone and nails, the cornerposts and crossbeams of our earthly and spiritual existence.In Letters of Light, Rabbi Aaron Raskin explores the essence of these holy letters, and how by their very nature they continue to be a source of creation, reflection, prayer and inspiration in our everyday lives. Each letter is examined in terms of its graphic design, its Gematria and its Hebrew meaning. Rabbi Raskin?s insights are themselves guided by the rich foundation of Chassidus and particularly by the illuminations of Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the 7th Lubavitcher Rebbe. The result is an original and insightful examination of how Torah ? indeed the very letter of the law ? can inform every aspect of our lives, both religious and secular.

Download or read book Thank You God for Making Me a Woman written by Aaron Raskin and published by . This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THANK YOU GOD FOR MAKING ME A WOMAN "The Torah believes in the potential and capabilities of every man, woman or child, Jew and gentile alike, and clearly believes that men and women were created equal, and with their own distinct, respected role in the world. " - Rabbi Aaron L. Raskin Where would the Jewish people be without the discernment and wisdom of Jewish women - qualities they possess far in excess of men? Time and again, holy text and real-life experience prove this. "The Talmud reveals that it was in the merit of the righteous women that our forefathers were redeemed from the land of Egypt," writes the author. "About this, the Arizal explains that the souls of this generation are a reincarnation of those souls, and therefore, the women of this generation will once again bring about the redemption for all people." This book aims to show that it is a mistaken belief that Judaism values the male contribution to its daily liturgy and life more than the female. In a clear and compassionate style, it lays out traditional observance and new scholarship with simple language. Ultimately, the Jewish woman's role as ubiquitous force in daily life becomes clear: her power is subtle, mystical, transformative. Her role isn't marginal, it's essential. Mystical teachings tell us that women were granted understanding (bina) in greater measure, and therefore only they can transform a concept of wisdom (chochmah) into action (daat). Hence, we might extrapolate that no holy thing can come about if, in some way, a woman's wisdom is not behind it. Discernment is a female quality; and it's time we understood and acknowledged its presence in daily Jewish life. Online Listings Done: Other
