המלאך השומר על הבית: מה באמת הכוח של המזוזה? פרשת עקב | הרב שניאור אשכנזי

This week, an entire country held its breath. A 4-year-old boy disappeared on the beach in Ashkelon, and hundreds of volunteers and security forces searched every corner in the scorching heat, in a race against time. Then, in a moment of desperation that turned into an apparent miracle, he was found. But behind the scenes of the physical searches, a shocking spiritual story unfolded, revealed by Rabbi Moishe Peles, a Chabad emissary who entered the family home during those critical hours. What happened when all the mezuzahs in the house were removed for urgent inspection? And how does this relate to the scream heard in the house just as they finished reading the "12 verses"? A fascinating lesson on Parashat Akev, which takes this amazing story and dives deep into the mitzvah that is the "Iron Dome" of the Jewish home. What caused the rescuer's horse to deviate from the path and arrive exactly at the tree under which the child was sitting? Why is the mezuzah the only mitzvah that was intended first and foremost for us, as an active "defense kit"? How does the dispute between Rashi and our Rabbi Tam teach us the most important lesson for the peace of the home and the education of children? The amazing story of the mezuzah that Rabbi Yehuda the President sent to his Gentile friend, and the famous doctor from New Jersey who converted because of one of his girl's eyes. #Rabbi_Shnior_Ashkenazi #Child_in_Ashkelon #Miracle #Mezuzah #Parashat_Ekeb #Secret_of_the_Mezuzah #Judaism #Peace_at_Home ---------------- 00:00 - The Miracle in Ashkelon: The Story Behind Finding the Lost Child 02:00 - The Secret of the 40th: Why Do We Start Wishing "Good Writing and Signature" Already on the First Day of Av? 04:25 - Mezuzah: The Only Mitzvah That Was Meant for Us, Not for Him 05:10 - "A Revealed Miracle": Why Does Beit Yosef Claim That the Power of the Mezuzah Is Tangible? 10:10 - A Deal with God: The Amazing Story of the Woman from South Africa 12:40 - A Jew Abroad is a "Guest" 18:15 - The Mind Versus the Heart: The Mezuzah as a Warning Sign at the Points of Temptation 22:15 - The Mezuzah That Riphah Bat Melech Healed: The Gift The Surprising Story of Rabbi Yehuda the President 32:50 - The Eye That Created: Dr. Oren Balt and the Miracle of the Grossman Family 37:05 - The Secret of the "Slant": The Most Important Lesson for Home Peace and Children's Education ------------- Join the Hochmat Chaim Project Now: https://www.chochmat.co.il For Donations and Partnerships: https://did.li/shneoray Distribute the New 'Parasha' Newsletter!

Tor Siman Rafa: Whoever takes heed in it will prolong his days and the days of his sons, as it is written [in the next verse]: 'That your days and the days of your sons may be multiplied' ... and greater than this: that the house is preserved by it - Beit Yosef: Va'A'ag Is longevity more beloved than keeping the house [and how does it say 'and greater than this' about keeping the house]? Rather, longevity is a hidden miracle and keeping the house is a revealed miracle, which is bestowed upon other houses that do not have a mezuzah, and glory in a house that has a mezuzah is preserved. Kovet Ha-Beer, year 15, page 44: The Tzadik of Chernobyl received from the Baal Shemesh, a saying he received from his Rabbi Achiya the Shilonite, from the 15th of Av until Rosh Hashanah, that every time a person blesses his friend with a good writing and signature, according to this number he will have good advisers in heaven who will teach him merit. And the Rehab of Kamarna concluded: And I added that 'the fifteenth of Av' in the Gematria "Good Writing and Signature" (928). Meta Ephraim Siman Tikafa: People of action have a custom that in this month they delve into the grammar of the mitzvah to be an examiner and examine their tefillin and mezuzot, and whatever is found there, he examines the rest of the mitzvahs, and it is a good custom. 2. My Book of Numbers: 'And you shall lay up these words upon your hearts and upon your souls, and bind them as a sign' – even though I expel you from the land, be excellent in the mitzvahs there, so that when you return to the Land of Israel, you will not have new ones. A parable of a king who was angry with his wife and went to her father's house, and he said to her: "Be adorned with your jewelry, so that when you return - you will not be new on you" - Gur Aryeh 11:18: When they are exiled among the nations and Israel do not have places and houses of their own, only by way of borrowing and renting, and if they do not fulfill the commandment of the mezuzah in exile, where they do not have special houses, as well as the commandment of tefillin, which requires that one not be distracted from tefillin and how can they not be distracted (when they live among...
