Eat while reclining to the left.”

הָבָה נִתְחַכְּמָה לוֹ פֶּן־יִרְבֶּה וְהָיָה כִּי־תִקְרֶאנָה מִלְחָמָה וְנוֹסַף גַּם־הוּא עַל־שֹׂנְאֵינוּ וְנִלְחַם־בָּנוּ וְעָלָה מִן־הָאָרֶץ׃

Parshas Shemos Chapter 1 Verse 10

come, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when any war should chance, they also join our enemies, and fight against us, and so go up out of the land.

And they said one to another, Truly, we are guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.

קָטֹנְתִּי מִכֹּל הַחֲסָדִים וּמִכׇּל־הָאֱמֶת אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתָ אֶת־עַבְדֶּךָ כִּי בְמַקְלִי עָבַרְתִּי אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּן הַזֶּה וְעַתָּה הָיִיתִי לִשְׁנֵי מַחֲנוֹת׃

This week’s episode of the One Pasuk Podcast is generously sponsored by Erica & Robert Klein, my mother and father in law in commemoration of the yahrzeit of their precious granddaughter, Chana Tova, daughter of Rabbi Chaim and Shoshana Poupko. She was a bright shining burst of light, who taught us all that the quality of our time on this earth is not dependent upon its length. Her spirit, smile, and courage will always be remembered by us. We pray that Hashem continue to watch over her Neshama.

Megilat Rut

וַתֹּאמֶר רוּת אַל־תִּפְגְּעִי־בִי לְעׇזְבֵךְ לָשׁוּב מֵאַחֲרָיִךְ כִּי אֶל־אֲשֶׁר תֵּלְכִי אֵלֵךְ וּבַאֲשֶׁר תָּלִינִי אָלִין עַמֵּךְ עַמִּי וֵאלֹהַיִךְ אֱלֹהָי׃

The week's episode of the One Pasuk Podcast is generously sponsored by Phyllis and Marrick Kukin commemorating the yahrzeits of their parents occuring during this season:

• Doris Kukin, Dvorah bat Moshe and Rachel on the 15th of Nissan
• Dr. Ira Kukin, Avraham Yitzhak ben Zev HaKohain and Chaya on the 22nd of Iyar
• Cantor Charles Gelman, Yehezkel ben Yitzhak Chaim and Fayge on the 4th of Sivan

May the souls of these remarkable people be elevated in heaven and may their powerful legacies continue to serve as a source of strength and inspiration.

You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against members of your people. Love your fellow [Israelite] as yourself: I am 'ה.

_ the priest shall order two live pure birds, cedar wood, crimson stuff, and hyssop to be brought for the one to be purified._

Now Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu each took his fire pan, put fire in it, and laid incense on it; and they offered before ה' alien fire, which had not been enjoined upon them.

אָז יָשִׁיר־מֹשֶׁה וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־הַשִּׁירָה הַזֹּאת ה' וַיֹּאמְרוּ לֵאמֹר אָשִׁירָה לַה' כִּי־גָאֹה גָּאָה סוּס וְרֹכְבוֹ רָמָה בַיָּם׃ 

Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to Hashem. They said: I will sing to Hashem, for He has triumphed gloriously; Horse and driver He has hurled into the sea.

Rabbi Poupko is joined by guests Rabbi Daniel Alter, Head of School of the Moriah School of Englewood and Rabbi Saul Zucker, Head of School of Ben Porat Yosef in Paramus, discussing the Mah Nishtanah.

וַיִּקְרָא אֶל־מֹשֶׁה וַיְדַבֵּר ה' אֵלָיו מֵאֹהֶל מוֹעֵד לֵאמֹר׃

Hashem called to Moses and spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting, saying:

Moses then convoked the whole Israelite community and said to them: These are the things that יהוה has commanded you to do:

And let them make Me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them.

One year ago, we took a leap of faith, clicked on record, and embarked on a journey into the unknown. We didn’t know where this adventure would take us, but we knew we had Divrei Torah to present, banter to exchange, and a passion for sharing them with all of you.

What started as a mere idea, has grown into something truly special and we have YOU to thank for it. Every listen, every word of feedback, every sponsorship dedication has made this a labor of love for us.

Then Hashem said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh. For I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his courtiers, in order that I may display these My signs among them,

I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as El Shaddai, but I did not make Myself known to them by My name, Hashem.

The Messenger who has redeemed me from all harm—Bless the lads. In them may my name be recalled, And the names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac, And may they be teeming multitudes upon the earth.”

Recalling the dreams that he had dreamed about them, Joseph said to them, “You are spies, you have come to see the land in its nakedness.”

This, then, is the line of Jacob: At seventeen years of age, Joseph tended the flocks with his brothers, as a helper to the sons of his father’s wives Bilhah and Zilpah. And Joseph brought bad reports of them to their father.

Jacob sent messengers ahead to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the country of Edom,

He came upon a certain place and stopped there for the night, for the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of that place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place.

This is the story of Isaac, son of Abraham. Abraham begot Isaac.

וַיֵּרָא אֵלָיו ה' בְּאֵלֹנֵי מַמְרֵא וְהוּא יֹשֵׁב פֶּתַח־הָאֹהֶל כְּחֹם הַיּוֹם׃ 

Hashem appeared to him by the terebinths of Mamre; he was sitting at the entrance of the tent as the day grew hot.

Hashem said to Abram, “Go forth from your native land and from your father’s house to the land that I will show you.

This is the line of Noah.—Noah was a righteous man; he was blameless in his age; Noah walked with God. (Bereishis 6:9)

https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.1.1

כִּי־בַיּוֹם הַזֶּה יְכַפֵּר עֲלֵיכֶם לְטַהֵר אֶתְכֶם מִכֹּל חַטֹּאתֵיכֶם לִפְנֵי יְהוָה תִּטְהָרוּ׃

For on this day atonement shall be made for you to purify you of all your sins; you shall be pure before Hashem.

ה' ה' אֵל רַחוּם וְחַנּוּן אֶרֶךְ אַפַּיִם וְרַב־חֶסֶד וֶאֱמֶת נֹצֵר חֶסֶד לָאֲלָפִים נֹשֵׂא עָוֺן וָפֶשַׁע וְחַטָּאָה וְנַקֵּה

Hashem, Hashem, a God compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in kindness and faithfulness, extending kindness to the thousandth generation, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin

You stand this day, all of you, before Hashem your God —your tribal heads, your elders, and your officials, every householder in Israel.

https://www.sefaria.org/Deuteronomy.29.9

וְהָיָה עֵקֶב תִּשְׁמְעוּן, אֵת הַמִּשְׁפָּטִים הָאֵלֶּה, וּשְׁמַרְתֶּם וַעֲשִׂיתֶם, אֹתָם--וְשָׁמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ לְךָ, אֶת-הַבְּרִית וְאֶת-הַחֶסֶד, אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע, לַאֲבֹתֶיךָ.

And if you do obey these rules and observe them carefully, Hashem, your God will maintain faithfully for you the covenant made on oath with your fathers:

רַק הִשָּׁמֶר לְךָ וּשְׁמֹר נַפְשְׁךָ מְאֹד פֶּן־תִּשְׁכַּח אֶת־הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר־רָאוּ עֵינֶיךָ וּפֶן־יָסוּרוּ מִלְּבָבְךָ כֹּל יְמֵי חַיֶּיךָ וְהוֹדַעְתָּם לְבָנֶיךָ וְלִבְנֵי בָנֶיךָ׃

But take utmost care and watch yourselves scrupulously, so that you do not forget the things that you saw with your own eyes and so that they do not fade from your mind as long as you live. And make them known to your children and to your children’s children:

It shall be for him and his descendants after him a pact of priesthood for all time, because he took impassioned action for his God, thus making expiation for the Israelites.

Haman then said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people, scattered and dispersed among the other peoples in all the provinces of your realm, whose laws are different from those of any other people and who do not obey the king’s laws; and it is not in Your Majesty’s interest to tolerate them.
