One of the branches of modern medicine, currently the most popular one, is - without a doubt - regenerative medicine. Simply put, we are talking about the reconstruction of tissues or organs. This is an area of medical research that specializes in the care of wounds and bodily defects and uses the formation of new organs, limbs or tissues. It also deals with interventions by cell therapy or by use of regenerative medication applied at the wound site… It seems surreal, even miraculous, we can, however, note many instances of success, thanks to G-d!

As a matter of fact, such a phenomenon exists, i.e. the phenomenon of organ formation already exists in the worlds, not only regarding plants, but also regarding animals capable of reconstructing tissues or members after their removal such as the lizard or the salamander. But the great revolutionary novelty is the success in rebuilding tissues and organs for human beings, particularly for adults.

Our Sages, to whom the secrets of the Creation of the world were unveiled, teach us that there is an exact balance between Torah and Creation. The Torah, as the Wisdom of the Infinite Blessed be He, includes the entire program and structure of the world: «The Holy One Blessed be He looked into the Torah and created the world,» to the point that there is no element in His world that doesn’t have its origin and roots in the Torah.

Even more so, the very existence of a specific phenomenon in our material world proves that there has to be a source, a root in Torah from which the same element draws all its vitality. And in fact, this event, the discovery of a possible cure through cell regeneration, can be found in the Torah, and there is its whole energy source.

This Wednesday we will all witness a phenomenon of this kind that happened historically some 3300 years ago: «Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi said: when the children of Israel came out of Egypt, there were some disabled among them because of the abusive working conditions, for they had to use bricks and sometimes they fell on them and broke their arms or cut off their legs. The Holy One, Blessed be He said: It is not fair that I would give My Torah to disabled people. Then He made a sign to the on-duty staff of

the angels, they came down and healed them. How do we know that there was no blind among them? For it is said: «And the people saw the thunder.» And how do we know that there were no deaf among them? For they said: «We will hear.» And how do we know that there weren’t among them people without an arm? For they said: «We will do.» And how do we know that there weren’t among them people lacking a leg?» For it is written: «They stood at the foot of the mountain.» Here is the source of what we currently experience, for on the eve of the giving of the Torah our fathers merited to generate new members.

The prophet Micah said: «As in the days of your coming out of Egypt I will show you miracles.» This teaches us that the miracles our forefathers enjoyed during the exodus from Egypt are only a substitute for the miracles that will happen in times of our true and complete redemption,

which we shall merit to taste very soon in their entirety.

During the Holiday of Shavuot we all listen to the Ten Commandments, especially the children we accompany to synagogue for they are our guarantors. The Rebbe Melech HaMoschiach Shlita beseeches all of us, children of Israel, men, women and children to come and to fill up the synagogues on this occasion in order to hear the Ten Commandments and to feel the divine experience of the gift of Torah. Thus, we will merit all the blessings and mainly that of the true and complete Redemption through the Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach Shlita really immediately, with joy and enthusiasm.

www.viveleroi770.com The Royal Edition Dvar Malkhus Summary of the speech by the Lubavitcher Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach Shlita Shabbos Parashas Nasso – 12 Sivan 5751-1991

Make Torah a novelty and receive the “New Torah” Our sages say that every day, man should consider the words of Torah “as new, as if they had been given the same day (1).” Since everything about Torah is true, it is obvious that if you ask any Jew to consider the Torah in this manner, it is because that is the absolute truth. This becomes apparent especially in the text of the daily blessings on the Torah: The verb “to give” is written in the present tense: “Blessed are You… who gives the Torah,” because the Torah is given every day.

Specifically, we can divide the renewal of the Torah into four levels: 1. In general, the Giving of the Torah is repeated every year on Shavuot. All the events related to this revelation show up at that moment and occur again as they happened the first time. 2. The renewal of the Giving of the Torah every day, whose strength comes from the annual renewal which takes place on Shavuot.

There can be found an equivalent to that in the daily renewal of the existence of the world (as it is said, “He constantly renews every day the work of creation”) whose strength comes from the annual renewal of this existence on Rosh Hashanah. 3. An extra special renewal is made on Shabbat following the giving of the Torah, Parashat Nasso and is expressed both in the Parasha of the week and in Pirkei Avot (Ethics of the Fathers) that we start to read this Shabbat. 4. The three categories above suggest the renewal of the Giving of the Torah on an annual or daily base, as it took place first at Mount Sinai, that is, the same Torah is given again. Apart from the renewal, however, there is also the issue of novelty in the divine revelation: new themes that are being revealed and that had not been given at the Giving of the Torah. These are new teachings – Chiddushei Torah – as they are being revealed in all ages and carry with them the truth of Torah.

In the Torah and in the world In fact, the Torah was given at Mount Sinai in its entirety, which includes the new teachings that were waiting to be discovered over the centuries and also the Torah of Moshiach, about which it is said “a new Torah will emerge from Me (2).” These teachings, however, were given only in their potential form, harbored in the rules of interpretation of the Torah and then revealed through the study of the Sages.

However there is a profound difference between the teachings that are revealed each time through the study of the Jews and the “new Torah” which will only be

revealed in future times, in the World to Come because of its extreme loftiness.

This is expressed in the words “(a new Torah) will emerge from Me (2).”

These teachings, however, were only given in a potential form, concealed in the rules of interpretation of the Torah and then were revealed through the study of the Sages.

However, there is a profound difference between the teachings that are revealed each time through the study of the Jews and the “new Torah” which will only be revealed in future times in the World to Come because of its extreme loftiness.

This is expressed in the words “(a new Torah) will emerge from Me.”) Indeed, while usually the new teachings “emerge” from their potential degree to be known by all through the study of a particular Sage, the “new Torah” will be such that it can “emerge” only from Gd Himself. This is why our sages say, in order to express this level of Torah: “The Torah that man learns in this world is wind compared to the Torah of Moshiach!”

As we said above, the existence of the world is also renewed every day.

However, as this existence emerges from Torah (our Sages teach us that the Torah is G-d’s “blueprint” for the creation of the world), we understand that it is the renewal of Torah that brings about the renewal of the world. Thus, it is the revelation of a “new Torah that will emerge from Me” in the Messianic Era, that will cause the fulfillment oft the prophecy: “the new heavens and the new world that I will make (3).”

An illustration of the principle that the renewal in the Torah entails the renewal in the world is provided by the Mishnah in Pirkei Avot: “Whoever reports a speech by quoting the author brings redemption to the world.” In fact, the unveiling of a new teaching that was previously veiled constitutes a redemption in the Torah from which then arises the redemption of the world.

However, all the new teachings that are revealed in times of exile only bring a

partial redemption in the Torah, to the extent that there are sill veiled subjects.

Therefore, the redemption taking place in the world can also be only partial: redemption within exile. It is only in the messianic era, when the unveiling will be the work of G-d Himself, that everything will be revealed in the Torah and therefore the redemption of the world will be complete.

New heavens and new earth Currently, the divine vitality that animates the world is not revealed. The world hides and conceals this vitality (“the world,” olam in Hebrew, which comes from the word Elem, “veil”). In future times, however, the sky and the world will be called “new” because the divine force that sustains them will be visible in them. Even more so, this vitality will not separate them, they will become a perfect home for G-d Who will reside in them in a revealed manner, like a man who shows himself the in his house in his true colors. And it’s from “the overflow of the divine light on Israel that the darkness of the Nations will be enlightened… and so the Glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it (4)” (5). (6) As we said, the novelty that will appear in the heavens and in the earth will be

parallel to the one that will be found in the Torah: At the Giving of the Torah, the main part of the Torah, which is the “new Torah”, had not been revealed, so the Divine Essence could not reveal itself in the world. And although the decree separating the higher worlds from the lower worlds was canceled, allowing Divinity to enter the world, it nevertheless remained in its level of “lower world”. In future times, however, when most Torah will be revealed, the Divine Essence will automatically reveal itself to the world.

The renewal in the Parasha The topic of novelty in the Torah is particularly highlighted on the Shabbat which comes after the Giving of the Torah. The Parasha of this week, Nasso, teaches us several lessons on this subject: The Parasha starts in fact with the commandment of “Raising the head” (meaning “counting the heads”): this terminology teaches us “to raise” and to renew our minds, i.e. that the study of Torah has to be done with pleasure (for pleasure transcends the intellect), which raises the level of the study up to bring forth new teachings to bring the revelation of the “new Torah”, the secrets of the Torah, the very essence of pleasure in the Torah.

The Parasha also discusses the laws of the Nazir (a person who sanctifies himself by not drinking wine or eating any product made from grapes, by not cutting his hair and distancing himself from contact with death bodies) in which appears the topic of the coming of Moshiach in a context of Halacha: “Whoever says that he will be Nazir on the day the son of David will come,

www.viveleroi770.com immediately becomes a Nazir (7).” As a matter of fact, according to the law, every day is potentially “the day the son of David will come.” We understand from this law that the revelation of the “new Torah” does not belong to the distant future, but could happen at any moment.

In the beginning of the Parasha we are told of the census of the tribe of Levi, who was in charge of carrying the elements of the sanctuary in the desert. In the end of the Parasha we are told about the inauguration of the Tabernacle and the Altar. It follows from this, that even the desert, “a place where a human being does not live”, can be permeated by the Divine Presence, as will be the case in the Messianic Age, when the whole world will be sanctified.

We see in the Parasha as well a hint to an approach to the service of G-d that is likely to lead to the revelation of the “new Torah that will emerge from Me”: It is known that every Jew carries within him a spark of the soul of Moshiach, this is the level of Yechidah, the fifth and highest level of the soul. Thus, by revealing the Yechidah of everyone, the revelation of the collective Yechidah is completed, i.e. the unveiling and the coming of Moshiach.

This is found at the beginning of the Parasha, in the counting of the Children of Israel, what indicates the essential bond that connects them to the Holy One Blessed be He at the level of the Yeshidah for “He counts them at every moment because of His love for them (8)”. The Parasha speaks only of the counting of the tribe of Levi, but the Rambam writes that every Jew can be sanctified and reach the level of the tribe of Levi, the level of a servant of G-d.

We find this concept also at the end of the Parasha, in the union of the heads of the tribes to bring their sacrifices, because the union of the Children of Israel comes from the Yechidah, which is identical for all Jews. Thus, at the beginning of the next Paracha, Beha’alotecha, it is talked about lighting the Menora (candelabrum), which was carved from a single block of gold.

This detail refers to the seven categories of the children of Israel, represented by the seven branches of the Menorah, which are intrinsically united in a perfect way and form a single block.

And at the same time the distinctive quality of the tribe of Levi is emphasized here: Rashi explains that the section on the offering of the Heads the tribes is contiguous with that of the Menorah in order to comfort Aharon the Kohen Gadol, who was upset about his tribe not participating in the offering of the princes. G-d told him: “Your share will be greater than theirs!” with regard to the lighting of the Menorah.

the conclusion of the exile and the coming of the tenth song, the song of Moshiach. This day is auspicious for the unveiling of the “new Torah that will emanate from Me.”

However, the juxtaposition of this episode to the offering of the Heads of the tribes indicates that there is a link between these two topics: that teaches us that that this superior quality of the tribe of Levi penetrates the entire Jewish people, as explained by the Rambam, cited above.

Pirkei Avot of this Shabbat This Shabbat we start the study of the first chapter of Pirkei Avot: 1. “Moses received the Torah from Sinai an transmitted it to Joshua…”: The topic of the transmission of the Torah from generation to generation which becomes the Torah of each individual when he reveals in it new insights. 2. Before raising the Giving of the Torah at Sinai, we say: “All Israel has a share in the World to Come”, referring to the world of the resurrection, which emphasizes that the main purpose of the Torah will be accomplished in the World to Come, where “a new Torah will emerge from Me.” 3. The study ends with the passage saying: “The Holy One, Blessed Be He, wished to confer merit upon Israel… as it is said, G-d desired, for the sake of its [Israel’s] righteousness, that the Torah be made great and glorious.” That mentions the study of Torah for its own sake and not in order to know how to act, what will be discussed essentially in the “new Torah” of the Messianic Age (because then the commandments of the Torah will be unveiled and it won’t be necessary anymore to study in order to know how to perform them perfectly). 4. The union of Israel which is expressed in the verse “All Israel has a share in the World to Come” which belongs to the level of Yechidah.

The renewal in Shabbat Moreover, the concept of renewal in the Torah (“a new Torah emerges from Me”) and in the world (“the new heavens and the new world”) is linked to Shabbat, because on this day we interrupt activities connected to the world in order to dedicate ourselves exclusively to holy topics and to the study of Torah.

The reason for this is, that the Shabbat

is particularly associated with the Messianic Redemption, as expressed in the special Shabbat Psalm: “Song of Shabbat (9)”, “Song of future times, of the day that will be entirely Shabbat and rest for eternal life (10)” Finally Shabbat is linked to the union of Israel, because, according to Halacha, that’s the ideal time to gather people to teach them Torah in public (11).

To all the above a special quality is added in our time: The Previous Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak, announced that our generation is the one of Redemption. Especially this year, 5751, which in it’s Hebrew writing contains the letters of the word “will rise”, which evokes the verse promising that “His kingdom will rise” (12) and constitutes also the acronym for “This will be a year in which I will show you wonders” including those which were already accomplished during the Gulf War, which were announced in the Midrash Yalkut Shimoni: “The year in which Moshiach will reveal himself, all the nations will fight against each other, the king of Persia… an Arab king… and He will tell them [G-d to Israel]: My children, don’t be afraid, everything I did, I did for you… the time of your Redemption has come” (13) and since then (especially since the month of Nissan, the month of Redemption), we are at the stage where, according to the continuation of this Midrash… it will be heard by the Children of Israel: Humble ones! The time for your Redemption has come.”

This is even more pronounced now that we are close to the celebration of the Giving of the Torah which is a very auspicious time for Redemption. In fact the Talmud states on Shavuot that the joy this holiday represents for G-d and “also for you” (14), the numerical value of this expression is equal to the word “Ketz” – the end, which designates the due date for the coming of Moshiach (15). And all this stands even more out in the “Farbrengen” (Chassidic celebration) and even more on this Shabbat, on which the Chassidim sang the nine melodies of our Rebbes. May they mark

The concrete action Specifically, the preparation for the unveiling of the new Torah is the addition to the study of Torah with vitality and pleasure, the development of new teachings in the Torah – Chiddushei Torah – according to the capacity of each individual, the renewal and the addition in the study and the spreading of Chassidut, the profound part of the Torah and the in-depth study of a Mishnah from the chapter of Pirkei Avot each Shabbat of the summermonths with explanations and commentaries of the Sages.

May it be G-d’s will that in merit of these good resolutions we’ll be granted immediately the revelation of the “new Torah that will emerge from Me” in the Messianic Redemption, and then Moses, Aaron and all our Rabbis to the Previous Rebbe, accompanied by all the tzaddikim of all previous generations will be there with all the Children of Israel of our generation, souls that reside in bodies without any interruption in between. And together we’ll hear the “new Torah” in the Holy Land, in Jerusalem the holy city, on the holy mountain in the Temple and in the Holy of Holies, “on the mercy seat that is above the Ark of the Testimony, among the two Cherubim” (16). And the main thing is that it shall happen immediately, which says “Myiad”, the word that stands for Moshe, Israel (the Baal Shem Tov, the spreading of whose Torah brings us closer to the coming of) David, who symbolized Moshiach of whom he is the ancestor. And may it materialize, which says “mamash”, that is to say, tangible here, mamash, mamash.

Descendant of a converted!

In a letter dated 18 Sivan 5707 – 1947, the Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach Shlita explains: «In the majority of Jewish Communities it is customary to read Megilat Ruth on Shavuot. This book tells how Ruth took upon herself the path of Judaism. And King David, the founder of the kingdom of Israel and author of the book of Psalms, was himself a descendant of Ruth.

Thus, the Moshiach comes from a converted!»

What can we learn from the story of Ruth? Simply that the soul of a converted that has received the Torah at Mount Sinai, too, strives throughout all its life for the highest levels of holiness, simply because it comes from even further than a Baal Teshuva (repentant), it is not in the body of a Jew and what it asks for is not only the study of Torah or the practice of Mitzvot, even on the highest levels, but the unveiling of the Infinite Light of the Divine Essence, in short, this soul asks only for one thing… the immediate Redemption!

When the Jewish People finish counting the Omer, we are all immersed in the Giving of the Torah, as it says in Megilat Esther: «These days (…) come true in every generation», so we will receive, each one of us, the Torah, the Wisdom from above which dresses in the garment of our understanding and at the same time transcends it completely. This Torah incorporates not only the simple meaning, the allusive meaning, the stories (Midrash) and the laws, the hidden and secret meaning, but also and above all the science that includes everything at once: The «Torah Chadasha Mi Iti Tetze – the new Torah that will emerge from Me (Isaiah 51:4, Vayikra Rabbah)» – this is about Chassidut and especially now about the Dvar Malkhuth of the Lubavitcher Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach Shlita!

How shall we imagine this great moment? First of all, we will see the fight between the two titans buried in the depths of the earth and the sea: the Leviathan (an oversized fish with terrifying powers) against the Shor Habar (a buffalo, also huge and powerful). These two extraordinary creatures will rise in heaven and will fight each other until the Leviathan will have slaughtered the Shor Habar and will be gored by the latter. All that in order to provide the Tzaddikim, i.e. the Jewish people as a whole (Isaiah 60:21, Sanhedrin ch. 11), with a festive meal that includes the flesh of the two titans but also the Yain HaMeshumar, an old wine stored by Hashem since the dawn of time. Imagine such a meal with all Jews together: Abraham, Yitzchak, Jacov, King David, Rabbi Akiva, the Baal Shem Tov, the Admor HaZaken, all the Rebbes of Chabad and at the head of the table: the Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, a descendant of King David and King Solomon as the Rambam says. Indeed, the Rambam, Maimonides himself will also be present and we will have the opportunity to ask him all the questions we want to, we will be able as well to talk to Moshiach and to receive answers to all the riddles that bothered us during the time of exile, all the ward, all the suffering, the nation that has endured such a bitter exile deserves the greatest reward, but it also and above all deserves an explanation: why all these sufferings, what for?

But when we will know the answer and our thirst for knowledge will be somewhat quenched, we will say: «And you shall say on that day: I thank you Lord for having turned Your anger against me (Isaiah 12:1)». And then we will be completely united with Him in a revealed manner for this is what Geula is about. And we will welcome Melech HaMoshiach immediately shouting with joy, songs and dances: «Long live the King Moshiach Now!» Rav Gabriel Beckouche

Story

A surprise in the campfire This story has been around in Bnei Barak by word of mouth, as is the nature of these kinds of stories and there were many who saw the intervention of the Divine Providence accompanying the event out of the ordinary…

This story was heard by a few local Chabad Chassidim who went to the synagogue in question and it was the local Rav who confirmed the details. We are talking about the synagogue «Heichal Avraham Tzvi» in the Nevei Achiezer neighborhood in Bnei Barak that was led by the Gaon Rabbi Moshe Yaacov Weis (zal), who left this world last year.

Rabbi Weis was well known for his commitment to the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Shlita. His dedication and enthusiasm were noticed during a gathering on the topic of «Moshiach and Geula» organized by the Association for the true and complete Redemption. There he evoked the confidence and the faith of the Chassidim of our generation in the Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach Shlita.

So he signed the Psak Din, the rabbinical decree, endorsed by hundreds of rabbis and community leaders, stating that the Rebbe Shlita is the King Moshiach and that his words have the power of prophecy.

Nowadays, his son, Rabbi Yitzchak Yishaya Weis, succeeds him as the head of the synagogue as well as in his position of Gaon Av Beit Din, judge of the district. And as in many synagogues, in this synagogue as well, the traditional lighting of the bonfire of Lag BaOmer was being prepared in honor of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai. And this year it should occur at the conclusion of Shabbat.

Outside, a few hours before the conclusion of Shabbat, a child belonging to a family of local faithfuls, saw inside the dry kindling, ready for the campfire, pictures of the Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach Shlita among all kinds of cardboards and papers.

It was impossible to know how those pictures got there. But in any event, this child filled by the faith of our righteous and knowing the greatness of the Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach Shlita, was very worried when he recognized these pictures. «In a moment they will ignite

The Avraham Tsvi Synagogue

the fireplace, and all that will catch fire as well as the pictures?!» the child thought trembling.

But it was impossible to do anything before the conclusion of Shabbat, because everything was Muktze and could neither be taken out nor moved.

He decided to wait until the after the evening prayer, when it woukd be allowed to come close to a campfire. He quickly ran away and after the conclusion of Shabbat came back to the place from where he immediately saw the pictures under the planks and branches and grabbed them.

But before he left the campfire he saw a small, used bedside table that was placed there for use as fuel. Apparently, it was thrown there by grown-ups and chosen by children to burn in honor of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai.

Without really understanding why he was doing this, the child opened the drawer in the table and found a wad of bills worth thousands of shekels hard cash.

«The child who wanted to protect the honor of the Just earned by his act a gift, a large sum of money, which, without this brilliant action, would have ended up in the flames of the campfire,» said the journalist Uzi Barak when he told this story on the radio station «The Line of Religious Journalism.» Rabbi Weis confirmed the story to his followers and it enjoyed great popularity among many citizens of the orthodox city.
