Words of Wisdom
Feiglin on Victory
Words of wisdom from Rabbi Yaakov Edelstein for times like this
נבואה האחרונה! אנחנו בעיצומו של תהליך הגאולה
“Ayin tachas ayin (an eye instead of an eye)” 21:24.
The Gemara in Bava Kama (83b) emphasizes that it is not an eye that Reuven has to pay for knocking out Shimon’s eye, but its monetary value. According to the G’ro, this is inherent in the Torah’s words “Ayin tachas ayin”, rather than “Ayin be’ad ayin”.
In fact, the word “tachas” itself serves as a subtle hint to the halachah, he explains. How is that? Because if we translate it literally as ‘below’, then the Torah is telling us to take the letters below (i.e. that follow) the ‘Ayin’, the ‘Yud’ and the ‘Nun’ (that spell “Ayin”), and to pay the result to the stricken man. Now the letters below ‘Ayin’, ‘Yud’ and ‘Nun’ in the ‘Alef Beis’ are ‘Pey’, ‘Kaf’ and ‘Samech’ – which spell ‘Kesef’.

Atop the Jewelry Box
Rabbi Alter Yachnes, Legendary ‘Rebbe Alter’ Passes Away At 75
Rebbe Alter also described his most meaningful feedback: “Once when I was in Miami, a man came over to me and told me his grandmother was a Holocaust survivor who unfortunately didn’t remain religious after all her suffering during the war. In her old age, she lived with one of her children, who’d become frum. One day, when the grandchildren were listening to Ring around the Year, she heard the words from the Tishrei song, “Hashem, won’t you please forgive me, if I did not act properly…” and asked them to write it down for her on a piece of paper. When she passed away, they found that paper in her room on top of her jewelry box.”
