****Jax’s D’Var Torah – Simchas Torah****
On Simchas Torah we rejoice as we appreciate our wonderful Torah.
Our Sages tell us (Shabbos 88b) that when Moshe Rabbeinu, was up on Har Sinai, receiving the Torah from Hashem , the Malachim-Angels were in an uproar. They complained that Hashem should give them the Torah, & not to Benei Yisroel.
“Master of the Universe, why give the holy Torah to human beings who are sinful, deceitful and frail,” the Malachim argued, “Give the Torah to us. We Malachim are perfect and obedient. We sing songs in praise of You every day. We follow your bidding to perfection. We are far superior to mere mortals both in strength and in knowledge. We understand secrets that would boggle the mind of man.”
They were so aggressive in their demeanor, Moshe was afraid they were going to kill him. Moshe clung to the Kisei Hakavod-Hashem’s Heavenly Throne for dear life.
Hashem said, “Moshe, do not be afraid. Answer the Malachim.”
Moshe gathered up his courage and responded,” Malachim, the Torah says ‘Honor your father and mother.’ Do Malachim have parents to honor?”
They had no choice but to reply, “No.”
Moshe continued, “Malachim, the Torah says, ‘You shall not steal.’ Would a Malachim ever steal?”
“No.”
“Malachim, the Torah says not to eat unkosher food. Does an Angel even eat?”
Again the Angels had to admit, “No.”
“You are right,” Moshe explained, ” Malachim are more perfect than humans, but it is our frailty that makes us need the Torah. We have parents whom we tend to neglect, unkosher food that we are tempted to eat, money that we are blinded by. Every day in the life of a human is filled with temptations and opportunities to sin. The Torah is the medicine that will help us live our lives with purity. It will enable us achieve greatness!”
“You see Malachim,” concluded Moshe, “It is because of our many imperfections that we SHOULD receive the Torah.”
Hashem then gave the Torah to Benei Yisroell and the Malachim did not complain.
The Torah is our life and the length of our days. May we dance with joy as we realize what a special and precious gift we have – The Torah!

at your service mod:
A euphemism is a substitution of an agreeable or less offensive expression in place of one that may offend or suggest something unpleasant to the listener,[1] or in the case of Doublespeak, to make it less troublesome for the speaker. The deployment of euphemisms is a central aspect within the public application of political correctness.
It also may be a substitution of a description of something or someone rather than the name, to avoid revealing secret, holy, or sacred names to the uninitiated, or to obscure the identity of the subject of a conversation from potential eavesdroppers. Some euphemisms are intended to amuse.

****Jax’s Tuesday D’Var Torah on Shmini Atzeres****
“Zeh hayom asa Hashem,” “This is the day that Hashem has made, let us rejoice in it.”
What is the reason behind the holiday of Shmini Atzeres? Pesach commemorates freedom from Mitzreim-Egypt, Shavuos commemorates giving of the Torah and the Luchos at Har Sinai.
Shmini Atzeres does not commemorate any historic event or miracle. The reason behind Shmini Atzeres is as follows: During all the Yom Tovim, the Yidden would travel to the Bais HaMikdash with Karbanos to Hashem. It is like a father, whose family is all visiting. When it is all over and time for everyone to go home the father says, “Stay a while longer.” Hashem, as it were, says, “Kasheh alai preidaschem…Your parting is difficult for Me. Stay a while longer” So Hashem made the chag of Shmini Atzeres – not for any historic cause, but, just to extend the stay. Just to have us around a bit longer in his full and glorious presence.
There is another way to understand the words “Kasheh alai preidaschem…Your parting is difficult for Me.” It is referring to the fact that we are now parting each other (Yaaneh Shel Torah). Hashem loves when we are all together in kinship and unity.
Queen Izevel, the wicked wife of King Achav, ordered her servants to kill all the prophets of Hashem. Many were slain but 100 prophets were saved due to the valiant efforts of Ovadya. He hid them all, 50 in one cave and 50 in another cave and secreted them food and water every day at great personal risk. Some of the Torah commentaries point out that the reason he hid them in two caves was because he could not find one cave big enough for all one hundred. That is to say that it was not for some strategic reason, but only because there was no choice for it is important for Jews to be together. More can be accomplished. More spiritual greatness can be achieved.
Hashem loves it when we are all together in kinship & unity!
A gutten moed everyone & may you have a splendid day!
