Teachings on Chumash Beraishis in Hebrew by Dovid Eidensohn

בראשית

 דוד אליהו אידנסון

פסוק א' - בראשית  ברא אלקים את השמים ואת הארץ ע"כ

לא אמר ”בתחלה ברא אלקים” אלא ”בראשית”. והנה בראשית אינו בראשונה אלא בראשית הוא בתחלת כך ופה אין שום מלה של "כך".

 וי"ל שהענין הוא מה שמביא מורי ורבי בעולם הזה ולעתיד, הגאון רבי שמואול טולדנו זצ"ל, שכתב כמה ספרים בקבלה וקיבל מן גאון המקובלים שהספרים שכתב היו ברוח הקודש.   והנה ראשית ספר אחד שכתב שהוא להביא לפני הקורא כמה ענינים שיבינו בקבלה, שראשית הכל להבין השם שהוא אי אפשר. שהרי הקב"ה ברא העולם הזה עבור אנשים שיש להם צד הטוב וצד הרע וגם הצד הטוב שלהם הוא בצימצום השגות של בשר ודם ששכיח שכחה והרבה הטעותים לבשר ודם, ומזה גורם לחשש גדול על כל הענין של בשר ודם בחסרונות כזה איך יבא להתפלל להשם וכי השם הוא מכיר וכי השם שייך בכלל לבשר ודם להבינו?

שהלא הקב"ה ברא העולם הזה לבשר ודם ולבעלי צד הטוב והצד הרע. וקבע מקום בעולם הזה לאנשים. ובתוך המסגרת של העולם הזה צריך האדם לעסוק הרבה שיטהר מחשבתו להבין מהו אמת ומהו שקר. וכל השגה של העולם הזה הוא מלחמה גדולה לבשר ודם בעל הצימצום. עד כדי כך שהמקבולים אומרים שהקב"ה ברא העולם הזה ורצה ליטע בעולם הזה איזה ספירות או עולמות שיש בהם איזה קשר לעולם של קדושה ששם המלאכים והשם בראשם. האמנם כלל יש באלה העשרה ספירות והוא שהראשון של מעלה הוא מה שנקרא כתר והשני מה שנקרא חכמה שעומד למטה מן הכתר. וכן כל הי' ספירות מכתר עד הסוף שהוא המלכות כולם יש להם איזה קשר עם העולם העליון. והכלל בכל זה שהספירה הראשונה שהוא כתר אסור לחשוב עליו כל שהוא אפילו לחשוב שהוא במציאות אסור והוא פלא להבין זה. אלא שאין המחשבה לומר שהכתר קיים שייך שנדע מהו כתר. שהקיום של הכתר הוא משורש עליון ולא ניתן לבשר ודם להבינו.

ועל אחת כמה וכמה אי אפשר לבשר ודם להבין מהוא השם! ואם כן יוקשה מיד שאם להבין בכתר שהוא נעשה לצורך התחתונים בעולם הזה לא אפשר להשיג שיש לו מציאות; מה נאמר ומה נדבר על השם! ואיך יבא האדם מישראל להתפלל להשם כמה פעמים בכל יום וכי מבין הוא השם שודאי השם הוא רחוק יותר מן האדם ממה שהאדם רחוק מן הכתר!

ועל זה מביא מור ורבי זצ"ל דברי גדולי המקובלים לפרש שהקב"ה ברא העולם הזה לצורך אנשים בעלי קצבה עם החסרונות שלא מבינים הרבה בעולם הזה. ובכל זאת עשה הקב"ה רפואה לצער הזה שעשה כוחות בעולם הזה שבהם יכול האדם להתפלל להשם ולאהוב השם ולירא מהשם וכו'. ויש לכוחות אלה שמות כמו שיש עשר ספירות ויש בכולם איזה שייכות לעולם העליון ולאור השכינה הקדושה, כן הוא השייכות של האדם בעולם הזה עם השם, שהקב"ה ברא האדם באהבה, ובפרט בכלל ישראל הקב"ה אוהבם מאוד ומקבל תשובה שלהם וסולח להם.

ברא אלקים -  הענין של ברא אלקים; שהשם אלקים הוא מורה על מדת הדין. ואחר כך בספר בראשית רואים שחוץ מן הברא אלקים פה בפסוק ראשונה של בראשית, יש עוד אחרי איזה פסוקים בשני של בראשית פסוק בענין הוי' אלקים שהוא הוי' שם השם של חסד ורחמים עם אלקים שם השם למדת הדין. הרי שבתחלה היה בראשית ברא אלקים מדת הדין. ראה הקב"ה שאם העולם הוא רק לצורך מדת הדין וכל אדם שיחטא יענש ואפשר שימות; שינה הקב"ה ועשה שותפות עם חסד ורחמים מצד אחד ודין מצד השני.  ובזה התקיים העולם.

ויש בזה ג' דרגות בענין מדת הדין ומדת הרחמים. יש מי שאפשר לו לסבול מדת הדין והוא בעל מדת הדין, הגם שיש בזה צד דין ועונש אם יחטא, בכל זאת אם אפשר לו לסבול העונשים של מדת הדין ומתגבר מאוד לקיים התורה, אפשר שיזה בהרבה טובה בעולם הבא אלא שבעולם הזה יש עונש לחטא שעשה.

לפני איזה דורות היה הגאון הצדיק רבי מרדכי פרגמינסקי זצ"ל שבסוף ימיו סובל הרבה יסורים והיה בבית חולים בשווייץ ומת שם. ובסוף של הכוחות שלו שהגיע זמנו ליכנס לעולם שכולו טוב ראה אחד שהוא ממלל איזה דברים ונכנס אצלו לשמוע מה שהוא מדבר. ושמע שהתפלל להקב"ה שהנה הוא סובל הרבה יסורים קשים מן המחלה ובכל זאת מבקש מן הקב"ה שאם יש לו עוד חטא שעדיין לא טיהרו ממנו שרוצה עוד יסורים ובלבד שיבא לעולם הבא נקי וטהור.

אחרי שנפטר הצדיק הביאו לארץ ישראל ונקבר כמדומה בבבני ברק. ואומרים שהחזון איש בכה עליו שעה שלימה שם.  והנה המספרים על אותו צדיק מדברים על היסורים שלו, ועל הבכיה של החזון איש. אבל האם לדבר גם כן על מה שמגיע לו בעולם העליון?

ועלינו לדעת שכשם שדיברנו לעיל שהקב"ה ברא האדם בעולם הזה מלא חסרונות ויש לכל אחד יצר הרע ר"ל. ויודעים שכל אחד כמעט כל אדם שנולד אינו יוצא נקי לגמרי מחטא. ובכל זאת הקב"ה ברא מציאותים בעולם הזה שעל ידם יכיר האדם שיש עולם העליון ואין שם החסרונות שיש בעולם הזה. ואלה הצדיקים כגון צדיק רבי מרדכי פרגמינסי זצ"ל ראו לתקן עצמם מכל חטא קודם שיבאו לשם; וכאשר הם שם מי הוא זה  ואיזה הוא שיכול להשיג כלום מן השמחה והשלימות שמשיגים. אדם שטיהר עצמו מתוך יסורים קשים מאוד שלא יבא לעולם הבא עם חטא? איזה עולם הבא יש לו!

ודיברנו לעיל שיש ג' דרגות במדת הדין ומדת הרחמים. האחד הוא הצדיק שטיהר עצמו בעולם הזה ונכנס לגם עדן נקי אשרי חלקו. ובכלל זה האדם שאינו צדיק כמו הרבי מרדכי זצ"ל לטהר עצמו מכל חטא. ואפשר שטיהר הרבה ואפשר שעשה כמה פעם תשובה והתפלל בכל יום סלח לנו ועוד תפלות. וכל אחד יזכה למה שיזכה מן הטוב אשרי חלקו שקבע עצמו בעולם הזה לבא לעולם העליון.

מדה הב' הוא מי שלא טיהר עצמו לזכות למעלה בשלימות או קרוב לשלימות, ובכל זאת כפי המציאות שלו נעשה עובד כפי הכוח שלו. אפשר שיש לו חלק בעולם הזה כפי הכח שלו. לעבוד השם באהבה ויראה ולשוב על חטאיו. הוא החלק הב' בספר בראשית הנ"ל בשני לקריאת התורה: אלה תולדות השמים והארץ בהבראם ביום עשות השם אלקים ארץ ושמים ע"כ

רואים מזה שסוף הפסוק הוא ביום עשות השם אלקים ארץ ושמים. הרי שהקדים הפסוק ארץ לשמים. שעכשיו מדברים על אדם שהכח שלו הוא למטה בעולם הזה ולא שייך לטהר עצמו בעבודה גדולה כדרך מי שקיבל על עצמו דין גמור. שלכן הקדים הפסוק ארץ לשמים; הקדים העולם הזה עם כל ניסיונות והרע וכו' ואחרי כן השמים. אבל הפסוק הראשון היה בראשית ברא אלקים את השמים ואת הארץ. השמים קודם להארץ שתכלית הצדיק לטהר עצמו שיבא כראוי לעולם הבא. ובכל זאת יש אנשים שאי אפשר להם בכך והם עושים כפי כוחם שהם לא שייכים לכל זאת אלא מקבלים חלק השני שהוא לצורך הארץ והשמים קודם הארץ לשמים למי שצריך הרבה חסד ורחמים.

והנה בחלק הראשון יש עוד בחינה כמו שמצאנו במרדכי הצדיק שהרגיש בהמן אחרי שנעשה שני למלך פרס וכל היהודים הצטערו מזה שאחד מהם בפרט רב גדול שירגיז להשונא יהודים המון מעמלק. ומרדכי לא הקפיד אלא עשה מה שעשה; ולבסוף זכה מרדכי הצדיק לזלקל בהמן בתכלית. שהמלך גזר על המן להוליך למרדכי על הסוס של המלכות לכבד למרדכי בפני כל העולם. ולבסוף המלך הרג להמן. וצוה לתלות גופו המת על העץ שהכין המן למרדכי בחצר של המן. ונעשה מרדכי במקומו שר להמלך. וכל הגוים היו פוחדים ממרדכי, שהיה מאוד איש מצליח .וגרם הרבה טובות להמדינה של פרס ולהמלך ובודאי שעשה טובות גדולות ליהודים.

ואיך זה שלא פחד מרדכי הצדיק מהמן? מפני שמי שהוא צדיק גמור כמו מרדכי הצדיק לא פוחד מכלום. והשם שומרו.

הרי יש ג' דרגות האחד צדיק גדול שמתקל חטאיו ודבוק בהשם עוד יש אדם סתם שצריך למדת החסד ו הרחמים שאינו שייך כל כך לטהר עצמו לגמרי. ויש דרגה הג' שהוא מרדכי הצדיק וכדומים אליו, שלא פוחדים כלל, אלא עושים מלחמה עם עמלק ועם המן ומנצחים בנסים גדולים.

Center for Military Readiness Elainne Donnelly CMR

September 28, 2018

TO: Rabbi David Eidensohn       Dear Rabbi Eidensohn,   As I write to you today, I am preparing for a difficult event that shouldn't be happening. On Tuesday, October 23, I will be present in a federal courtroom in downtown Detroit.  I am not being sued, and certainly have done nothing wrong. My organization and I are being dragged into a courtroom, however, becauseLGBT Left activist groups are demanding that a federal judge compel me to bow to their demands. Last February, attorneys representing LGBT activist groups served three imperious subpoenas on the Center for Military Readiness.  They want to search my emails in the hope that they will find "evidence" to use in their lawsuits against President Donald Trump. One subpoena demands that I turn over emails and other "communications" withWhite House and Pentagon officials on the subject of transgenders in the military going back to June 16, 2015, more than three years ago. The purpose of this fishing expedition is to dig up something - anything - that might support their conspiracy theory: The idea that President Trump changed the military's transgender policies for reasons of "animus," not concerns about national defense. The conspiracy theory is ridiculous.  Nevertheless, four federal district judges already have handed down preliminary injunctions ordering President Trump to reinstate transgender policies that his predecessor, Barack Obama, imposed on our military LGBT attorneys have served subpoenas on several conservative organizations, but CMR is the first to face a courtroom hearing on the most outrageous subpoena of all. As part of a Seattle lawsuit called Karnoski v. Trump, attorneys for LGBT groups have filed a motion demanding that a federal judge compel CMR to produce transgender-related emails going all the way back to the first day of the 2016 presidential campaign. On October 23, CMR's legal team will vigorously defend our First Amendmentright to communicate with government officials without intimidation or censorship. But I really need to know - Are you with me in this fight? Enforcement of the Seattle subpoena, and possibly two more related to theWashington, D.C. lawsuit against the Trump Administration, would impose disproportionately heavy burdens on the Center for Military Readiness and on me.   For starters, CMR would have to spend thousands of dollars on professional IT services.  Then I would have to spend hours redacting private information from hundreds of emails.   This could happen even though the judge hearing the Seattle Karnoski case already ordered the government to produce the relevant information being sought.  The judge added, "there is no suggestion that this evidence can be obtained from other sources."    Given this ruling, why are activist lawyers being allowed to harass CMR?     There is a name for courtroom tactics such as this.  Activist attorneys are using a type of "Strategic Litigation Against Public Participation,"known by the acronym SLAPP.   With SLAPP tactics that misuse the court system, LGBT lawyers are trying to intimidate me and "chill" my rights of free speech.  They also want to punishCMR for promoting values different from theirs.   In CMR's view, responsible authorities (not civilian activists or like-minded judges) should make decisions that strengthen our military, not weaken it with social burdens.     Our military defends America, and readiness to deter or fight wars must come first.     I am very grateful to Law Professor Emeritus William A. Woodruff and theThomas More Law Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan, who are fighting the legal attacks on CMR.     As our legal team said in letters of objection, nothing justifies subpoenas or court orders allowing LGBT activists to rummage through CMR emails.   Our articles, CMR Special Reports, and Policy Analyses about the transgender issue have been posted for everyone to see on our website, www.cmrlink.org.   We hope that high-level officials have read CMR publications and found them useful.   But contrary to LGBT conspiracy theories, CMR had no direct or indirect role in the Trump Administration's process of studying and revising transgender policies.   CMR's concern is military readiness, not "animus" against anyone.   As we have been reporting for months, even before President Trump announced his intent to review and change his predecessor's transgender policies, Defense Secretary James Mattis responded to military leaders who were expressing concerns about the high costs and consequences of Obama-era transgender mandates in terms of military readiness. Secretary Mattis ordered a six-month delay to allow for more study, and a Panel of Experts produced a full report citing recent data about transgender health care costs.   Secretary Mattis made recommendations for a new transgender policy, and President Trump endorsed the nuanced, readiness-first Mattis plan back in March.   But even before the Pentagon study was complete, an army of lawyers for theLGBT Left, including the Human Rights Campaign, the ACLU, OutServe-SLDN, and LAMDA Legal, filed lawsuits to stop President Trump from changing previous policies.   Like-minded judges in three states and the District of Columbia issuednationwide injunctions forcing President Trump to reinstate Obama-era policies. Never mind that Article III of the U.S. Constitution does not authorize judges to run the military.  The administration is fighting this power grab and CMR is fighting it too.   The constitutional order is at risk here. In 2016, candidate Trump pledged tostrengthen America's armed forces and to end political correctness in the military.  Trump won the election and as President he is delivering on those promises.   Now we see LGBT activists and a few lower-level federal judges trying to usurp the constitutional powers of the duly-elected Commander-in-Chief.   They are conducting a coordinated national campaign to find anything that might persuade the Supreme Court to nullify sound military policies. The subpoenas SLAPPed on "non-party" CMR are part of this irresponsible campaign.   An order to comply with the intrusive Seattle subpoena would chill CMR's First Amendment rights to discuss matters of public policy with government officials. Such an order would violate CMR's privacy and deter potential sources of information from communicating with CMR on a trusted, confidential basis.   These consequences, which would seriously impede our work, may be the real reason that well-funded LGBT groups are targeting CMR.   I have complete trust and confidence in our legal team.  They will make a compelling case at the hearing on October 23, but there is no way to know what judges will do.   You should know that necessary expenses - including filing fees, travel, and legal research - will continue to rise into thousands of dollars before this is over.   And the issues at stake here are bigger than CMR - they involve national security.   Acting like "Supreme Judicial Commanders of the Military, four activist district judges declared Trump's policies to be unconstitutional, even before the extensive Pentagon study was complete. But that's not all:   In addition to usurping presidential prerogatives, the judges have adopted the vocabulary, assumptions, and ideology promoting the unscientific notion that human gender identity can be changed by alterations in outward appearance. They have also tried to reverse the election by ordering the Secretary of Defense to continue an array of controversial Obama-era mandates, including irreversible hormone treatments and body-altering surgeries, as matters of "civil rights." The judges ignored the medical and military consequences of accommodating persons who identify as transgender or suffer fromgender dysphoria - a serious psychological condition that used to disqualify persons from military service. They also ignored Obama-era policies that politicize health-care services with medical mandates that allow no dissent from commanders or health care personnel who object for reasons of medical ethics orpersonal conviction. The judges even refused to consider recent Military Health Servicerecords, which documented high costs and harmful consequences from transgender treatments, which studies have shown do not reduce high risks of suicide. Elected officials, not judges, should decide the makeup of the All-Volunteer Force.   Issues in question include the eligibility of persons to serve if they are diagnosed with physical or psychological conditions that detract from deployability and readiness.   I hope I can count on you to help CMR deal with this threat.  Please consider sending a generous tax-deductible contribution.   I can promise you that your contribution will be put to good use - now and after this threat is over.  As the story unfolds in coming weeks, I will keep you posted. Will you stand with me at this critical time?    To make your contribution please click on the CMR 25th Anniversary logo button below:      Thank you for reading this letter, and for considering my request for your support.    With warm regards and thanks,           President, Center for Military Readiness     PS: A platoon commander at Fort Bragg preparing to deploy soldiers overseas should not have to worry about social agendas that impede readiness.                Please help CMR to promote sound policies that support our men and women who volunteer to serve.   Center for Military Readiness | P.

Fight the haters and back Brian Camenker of massresistance who is winning

A TIME OF WAR!

A Time of War between biblical people and the haters. 

Very wealthy leftists with  anti-biblical values in opposition to  the Torah have regularly attacked biblical people and with their huge monies have forced many companies to cancel any media presentations from biblical people. The major player of the biblical people is Brian Camenker from massresistance.com. He has organized around the world strong opposition to the haters and the leftists who fight biblical values.

It is crucial that all biblical people and those against hate stand together in the great war in the world today over biblical values. If we are silent and the haters are vocal they will win. But if we are able to get our own people and the vast numbers of those who are against hate, we will win. And Brian is winning.

Shalom,

David Eidensohn

Are Homosexuals Taking Over the Trump Presidency?

 

This edition of CMR E-Notes provides the latest update on federal judges exceeding their authority by ordering the Trump Administration to continue Obama-era transgender mandates on our military.  It also reports on determined efforts by the LGBT Left to drag CMR into pending lawsuits filed against President Trump to nullify his transgender policies.

 

Using a variation of the legal tactic called SLAPP (strategic litigation against public participation) lawyers for LGBT groups have served subpoenas on CMR and several other "non-party" organizations.  The intrusive subpoenas demand access to emails and other information that LGBT Plaintiffs think will "prove" a ridiculous conspiracy theory -- the idea that President Trump changed the military's transgender policies for reasons of "animus," not national defense.

 

It is worth the time to consider the new articles linked below, and why the outcome of ongoing controversies could affect military readiness and, eventually, all institutions of American life.

 

1.  Are LGBT Activists Gaslighting the Pentagon and Courts?

In the waning months of the Obama Administration, gaslighting tactics helped to establish groupthink and transgender ideology at all levels, on a mandatory basis. Then-Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter imposed controversial transgender policies that were based on unscientific beliefs, such as the notion that superficial changes in appearance can change a man into a woman, or a woman into a man.

 

All personnel were required to use reality-defying vocabulary, and to comply with official Instructions, Memos, Handbooks, and mandatory training programs that ignored concerns about personal privacy, disproportionately high costs, non-deployability issues, politicized health care that would not solve underlying psychological problems, and ethical conflicts associated with transgender treatments and sometimes surgeries. (See CMR Special Report, July 2017)

 

Donald J. Trump won the 2016 election, promising to strengthen our military.  In July and August 2017, Trump announced his intent to review and revise military transgender policies. LGBT activist groups such as the Human Rights Campaign, the ACLU, LAMDA Legal, and OutServe-SLDN immediately filed lawsuits to stop implementation of President Trump's plans.

 

Like-minded judges issued injunctions against President Trump and his policies, disregarding the fact that Article III of the U.S. Constitution does not authorize judges to run the military.  This article provides an overview and new insight into what the courts and LGBT activists are doing to our military, and why it matters:  

• CMR: Seattle Subpoena SLAPPs CMR

Four federal district judges have ruled in favor of transgender Plaintiffs since last Fall. Their Preliminary Injunctions usurped constitutional prerogatives of the Commander-in-Chief, applied unprecedented legal standards of review without constitutional authorization, and adopted without question the assumptions, vocabulary, and ideology of the LGBT Left.  

 

The various court rulings also refused to consider medical and military implications of their orders, and disregarded new data gathered from the Military Health Systemduring implementation of transgender policies of the Obama Administration.

2.  Litigation Update #3

Starting in February 2018, LGBT lawyers expanded their discovery demands on the government by serving subpoenas on the Center for Military Readiness and several other organizations.  The subpoenas demand access to private emails and communications regarding the transgender issue with White House or Pentagonofficials, going back as far as June 2015 - the first day of the Trump for Presidentcampaign.  

 

The purpose of the subpoenas is to prove mind-reading speculations about the President's "state of mind," and to persuade federal judges to second-guess and nullify presidential decisions on matters involving national security.

 

LGBT activists speculate that if they can show that the President had unworthy motives for changing policy, the Supreme Court ultimately will declare his actions to be unconstitutional.  Plaintiffs expect this result even though federal courts historically have shown "deference" to Congress and the Executive Branch in legal disputes involving national security.

 

Since last Fall, four federal district courts, in Washington, D.C., Baltimore MD, Seattle WA, and Riverside CA, exceeded their authority by issuing orders to reinstate Obama-era policies.  Three of the four ordered the government to produce pre-decisional documents that might provide psychic insight into the President's motives and state of mind.

 

This comprehensive CMR Policy Analysis explains why these court orders negate all claims of "need" for documents and emails from outside "non-party" organizations, including CMR:  

• CMR Policy Analysis: LGBT Lawyers Suing to Revoke Trump Military Transgender Policies

The Department of Justice has filed powerful arguments in defense of President Trump's powers to make policy under Article II of the U.S. Constitution, affirming both the substance and process justifying new military transgender policies that President Trump approved on March 23. (See CMR Policy Analysis, July 2018)

 

The Trump Administration should continue fighting for presidential prerogatives to make policy for the military, until the Supreme Court has an opportunity to restore the constitutional order.

 

3.  CMR Needs Your Help 

 

Plaintiffs in the various lawsuits against President Trump have the right to disagree with CMR's stated principles, but that does not give them the right to mischaracterize our motives before a federal Court -- or to rummage through our private emails.

 

A hearing on CMR's Motion for a Protective Order against the Seattle subpoena will take place in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on September 25.

 

Enforcement of the Plaintiffs' over-reaching subpoena - demanding all emails and documents related to the transgender issue going back three years to the first day of the Trump for President campaign - would impose disproportionate costs on CMR in terms of time and money.

 

If the court orders compliance with these unreasonable demands to produce documents, CMR will have to spend thousands of dollars on professional IT services, with no guarantee of reimbursement, and spend untold hours redacting information that should remain private.

 

The injustice to CMR would be even greater, since the judge in the Seattle Karnoski v. Trump case already ruled that the administration possesses and must produce relevant information sought by the Plaintiffs, and "there is no suggestion that this evidence can be obtained from other sources."

 

Court-ordered compliance of the intrusive subpoena would violate CMR's First Amendment rights to independently research, report on, and analyze military/social policies, and chill discussions with government officials and/or potential sources of information about the consequences of controversial policies.  These consequences, which would seriously impede CMR's work, may be an underlying second purpose being pursued by well-funded LGBT groups and an army of prominent law firm attorneys.

 

We are grateful to Prof. William "Woody" Woodruff and the Michigan-based Thomas More Law Center for their legal representation and invaluable assistance in defending CMR's First Amendment rights.

 

We are confident in the facts supporting our Motion for a Protective Order, but costs for everything from court fees to interstate travel are escalating fast.
