Aharon's Ark

Aharon's Ark: "Today too many of us live life like the flock.
There is no sharing in the flock, and constant pushing and shoving. From the little research I have already done on Chekhov, he was greatly concerned about the rights of man, as mentioned in The Seagull.

My personal belief is that there is no shortage of wealth in this nation, as well as in the world. Political theorists would have us believe that the economy of our country has taken a major downturn simply because perhaps a handful of the wealthiest have lost a few poorly placed bets on the great economic roulette wheel of 'high tech stocks'.

Our nation's leader would now have you believe the same 'voodoo economy' nonsense that his party predecessors have promoted.

Many armchair critics have already sited the president's agenda as nothing short of class war.
I suppose I could go on with this thread but do not want alienate too many of my potential readers...

From Aharon Moshe's Notebook

Na Nach Nachma Nachman Meuman

Na Nach Nachma Nachman Meuman: "Rebbe spoke about this so often that everything cannot be recorded. But what we have quoted here is excellent advice. Follow this path and you will complete many volumes. You will have a better comprehension than one who tries to understand everything the first time. A person who is overly precise can become very confused. Often he will abandon his studies completely and end up with nothing.

Accustom yourself to learn quickly, without too much attention to detail. You will then be worthy of learning in quantity. You will be able to complete the Talmud, the Codes, the Bible, the Midrash, the mystical books of the Zohar, the Kabbalah and all the other sacred works.

We have already mentioned that it is good for a person to complete all books concerning the Torah in his lifetime. The Rebbe once reckoned all that one must study each day if he has the time"

Truth Seeking: Emunah How Much Should We Depend on Hashem?

Truth Seeking: Emunah How Much Should We Depend on Hashem?: "those who merely perceive the consequences of our actions without ever looking for any of the underlying causes of the results which become the details of our lives. There are many different ways which one may come to believe that Hashem is the creator and King/Ruler of the Universe. However in order to really become any kind of master of one's destiny, it is a fundamental cornerstone"

In The Beginning: "insight into the nature of crowds and their tendencies to complain as well as the importance of leaders and their role in handling issues as they arise.

Be Careful What You Ask For:

The lesson of Hashem’s providing meat for the masses to eat is so obvious as it almost requires no commentary.

However Moshe, our teacher seemed to have had gotten caught up in the mathematics of the matter and was questioning Hashem how it was possible to provide meat for the 600,000 with available supplies of sheep and cattle. Indeed Moshe had even considered a parve alternative, how about fish?"

In The Beginning: "Hashem then instructed Moshe to appoint seventy men from the elders of Israel. Hashem was going to increase Moshe’s spirit to place it on the seventy elders.

The Parasha had begun with Hashem telling Moshe to speak to Aharon regarding lighting the seven arm Menorah. Now Hashem was explaining to Moshe that he was going to use Moshe’s spirit and increase it and place it on seventy new leaders."

In The Beginning

In The Beginning: "not satisfied with our current status or lot in life, but are often clueless as to which way to turn to remedy the situation. By refusing too look at the big picture, we are simply cutting ourselves off from many of the potential remedies that are available to help us overcome the current obstacle. By having access to the wisdom of our holy Torah, we can attempt to grasp the situations that our ancestors were faced with and try to learn from the mistakes, or errors which they committed."
