Parashat Hashavua: How to Mend Tears to Reach Unity

Two families that appear in the listing of families in our parasha positively impacted Am Yisrael’s unity. The families are those of Peretz (Bamidbar 26:2-21) and Machir (ibid. 29). All of those listed were of the generations that saw Yaakov Avinu.

Ask the Rabbi: Visiting Egypt

I am considering sightseeing in Egypt. Need I be concerned with the Torah’s prohibition of returning to Egypt?

Igrot Hare’aya – Letters of Rav Kook: Supporting an Israeli Winery - #106

On behalf of the love of the desired land (Eretz Yisrael) and the dear mitzva to support its builders and those who work the holy land with great toil, I have come to make a request of you, great scholar. In the agricultural village of Rechovot, which is near here, the farmers met and founded a guild of vineyard owners and a few years ago built a winery. Everything is handled according to the highest standards of kashrut, as the Torah requires, as they fulfill the land-based mitzvot and all the details of kashrut for all year long and for Pesach.

P'ninat Mishpat: Granting a House to a Neighbor’s Son – part II

The defendant (=def) is a yishuv in the Shomron, which has only three lots slated for single-family homes. The right to build on them is to be raffled off among residents of def. The plaintiff (=pl) rents in the yishuv. Pl’s widowed mother owns a house adjacent to one of the lots, and pl wants to receive rights to it without a raffle because only if he lives there can he arrange things to best serve his mother’s needs. This would exercise his mother’s dina d’bar metzra (=ddbm) rights (see below). Def counters that if someone receives a lot in such a manner, it will cause public accusations and acrimony.
