More details soon, but first a little lesson in Jewish history:
This happens in the days of multi-millionaire Kalba Shavuot, a really rich man, who at the moment of the announcement announces that he will not pass on a penny of his wealth to his beloved daughter if, God forbid, she marries a man, Akiva, a simple shepherd.
24 years of perseverance pass and Akiva returns as Rabbi Akiva, Rosh Yeshiva of tens of thousands of students.
If Kalva wants to immediately dissolve the vow, that is not what he meant. He did not imagine that Akiva, the simple shepherd, would become a famous scholar. At this point, the Tosafot make it difficult: After all, it is impossible to dissolve a vow due to a reality that did not exist at the moment of the vow, and as we know, at the moment of the vow he was not a scholar, he was a simple man!
To this the Tosafot respond: "He who goes to study is on the way to becoming a great man." Howie says, this is the norm in the world: A man who begins to study will surely become a great man!.
An amazing message for all of our lives.
Aharon Razel He used to give his friends a new song every year before Purim. Some years he sent a Purim song, other years he offered special songs, but he always made sure to send musical gifts to his friends.
Now, shortly after a new album (and a new book!) he is back to his usual self and releasing an original song "for the whole year.".
This is not a song for the month of Adar or Purim, but the timing is part of the song's theme. Despite the celebrations of the completion of the Shas, not everyone is blessed and succeeds in completing it, but on the occasion of the completion of Tractate Berakhot, Razel celebrates with all the many who began to study Tractate Berakhot and completed it, and gives them a gesture of respect.
""The end of Tractate Berakhot essentially continues the grand celebrations of the end of the Shas," explains Aharon. "Now that the lights and celebrations from the end of the Shas have dimmed a bit, I thought it would be worth reinforcing the end of Tractate Berakhot as well, and that is the main message of the song – perseverance.".
In this song, Aharon Razel sang with the students of the 'Torah and Halacha' yeshiva, words he arranged and wrote. The verse of the song is from the Tosafot tractate Ketubot, page 33: "And he goes on a path to learn, that he may become a great man," the hymn from the Psalms ("Achta Shalati") and the continuation of the hymn based on a true Jerusalem story.
There was a righteous woman in Jerusalem., She was blessed with all her sons being great scholars..
She was once asked: grandmother, What did you gain that all your children are like olive seedlings??
saying, "If you knew how much I prayed." They told her: "However, not everyone gets this."
She said, "You prayed for sons.", And you asked for many more things.... I asked. - Just this!
