Rabbi Nachman of Breslov teaches:

Rabbi Shimon ben Yochai promised that the Torah would never be forgotten from the Jewish people because of him as our Rabbis teach (Shabbat 138b), “When our Rabbis entered into Kerem BeYavneh they said, ‘In the future, the Torah is destined to be forgotten from the Jewish people’ and Rabbi Shimon ben Yochai said it will not be forgotten as it says, ‘It will not be forgotten from its offspring’. As it says in the Zohar (Nasso 124b): Through this book, which is the Book of the Zohar they will be redeemed from their exile.”

My Journey to Become a Sofer – Part 11 – Writing

Practice letters of Eliyahu Shear for writing ST"aM

We had got on to learning how to write. As I mentioned before, when one begins learning to write, one starts off without ink! One starts off without a kulmus (quill)! In fact, one starts off with a pencil and paper. Not just one pencil – but two.

The wisest of all men – King Solomon shares with us a secret about the relationship between the Jewish people and God. He writes the most beautiful words fitting for a relationship between two lovers, in his classic Song of Songs. Here, he includes the ups and downs of any relationship. What keeps the relationship strong, is a unique love. Even during the “downs”, the relationship is sealed by something quite mysterious!

The Cave of Machpelah – For Members of The I Care Club

The Cave of Machpelah with Torah VerseThe Cave of Machpelah… One of the most mysterious places in the world. The very architecture of the building that rests upon the Cave (under the ground) gives the picture a completely esoteric – perhaps magical – majestic look.

My Journey to Become a Sofer – Part 10 – Learning to Write!

Sofer Stam Writing

Things were progressing “nicely” if one could say that. I had now studied the laws in the Shulchan Aruch together with the Mishnah Berurah. We had gone through the questions related to the learning. I had made a find – the Keset HaSofer! It was time to start learning how to actually write!
