SHABBAT SHALOM 🤙🏻💙🌺🇮🇱🍀👊🏻One of the first great lessons of the Torah is not only about sin. It is about הכרת הטוב — recognizing the good that we receive.

Before Hashem created Chava, the Torah tells us:

״לֹא טוֹב הֱיוֹת הָאָדָם לְבַדּוֹ״
“It is not good for man to be alone.”

Adam was missing something. Hashem gave him a wife, a companion, an עֵזֶר כְּנֶגְדּוֹ. She was a tremendous gift.

Yet after the sin, when Hashem asked Adam what happened, Adam answered:

״הָאִשָּׁה אֲשֶׁר נָתַתָּה עִמָּדִי, הִוא נָתְנָה לִּי מִן הָעֵץ וָאֹכֵל.״

Rashi tells us: ״כאן כפר בטובה״ — here Adam denied the good. Chazal actually describe Adam HaRishon as כפוי טובה because of this response.
Think about it. Adam did not necessarily say something factually untrue. Chava did give him the fruit.
So where was his mistake?
His mistake was what he chose to focus on.
Hashem had given him this enormous gift called a wife. Someone to share his life with. Someone because of whom he was no longer alone. But suddenly, because of one failure, all Adam could see was:

״האשה אשר נתתה עמדי״ — Look what the woman You gave me did to me!

Yesterday she was the greatest blessing of his life. Today, because something went wrong, the entire gift disappeared from his vision.

SHABBAT SHALOM 💙🇮🇱🌺🙏🏻With God’s help, this week’s Shabbat is “Shabbat Bereshit” the first Shabbat of the new Torah cycle.
May we merit new beginnings filled with health and happiness. May it be a blessed Shabbat, a Shabbat of peace, joy, and success.
May we hear only good news.
Amen. 🙏✨💙🇮🇱🌺🫡👏🍀🍎. And the earth was formless and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep.”
Genesis does not begin with perfection, but with chaos, confusion, and emptiness. The Torah teaches us that confusion is not a failure it is the raw material from which awareness is built.
Only through uncertainty does choice emerge, and through choice, meaning is created.
This is the first lesson of the Book of Genesis: when life feels like chaos, it does not necessarily mean that something has fallen apart. It may mean that something new is beginning to take shape. And God saw that it was good.”
Each day, only part of the world was created. The complete picture was not yet there; there was still more to create. And yet, again and again, the Torah says: “And God saw that it was good.”
Because even what is not yet complete can be good exactly as it is at that stage.
And this is a powerful lesson: don’t wait for life to become everything you hoped it would be before recognizing the good that already exists. by @capomiklo28

SHABBAT SHALOM & CHAG SUKKOT SAMEJ 🤙🏻🇮🇱💙🍾🌺“For seven days you shall dwell in sukkot; all citizens of Israel shall dwell in sukkot.” (Leviticus 23)

The spiritual journey that began in Elul with the shofars, prayers, tears, and repairing of the heart now reaches its peak. We move from thought and speech into action. If on Rosh Hashanah we asked, and on Yom Kippur we purified ourselves, on Sukkot we actually step outside and put it into practice. According to Kabbalah, Sukkot is a time for settling the mind and gaining clarity. The word Sukkah hints at “סך הכל” (sach hakol) “the sum total,” or “the whole picture” a higher state of consciousness in which we can look back at everything we have been through and understand what life is trying to teach us. Sitting in the Sukkah is not merely a mitzvah that surrounds a person with light. Like a spiritual source, it helps us look at life from a higher perspective and see that everything is Divine.

There is a place for surrendering in order to be filled with faith and joy!

Simply sitting in the Sukkah heals us and fills our hearts with faith as a way of life for the entire year.

Precisely now, as autumn approaches and we are drawn to gather inside the warmth of our homes, the Torah tells us:

“Leave the house. Leave the security of what is yours.”

For a moment, leave behind the safe walls, the comfort, and everything you have accumulated there everything that seems to be “yours” and come sit beneath an open sky, while a covering of natural branches shelters you. by @capomiklo28

The Door Is Still Open
We are now standing in the most precious days of the entire year, from Rosh Hashanah until Yom Kippur The Navi tells us:
דִּרְשׁוּ ה׳ בְּהִמָּצְאוֹ, קְרָאֻהוּ בִּהְיוֹתוֹ קָרוֹב “Seek Hashem when He can be found; call to Him when He is near.” (Yeshayahu 55:6)
Chazal explain that “when He is near” refers especially to these ten days.
What does that mean? Is Hashem not close to us throughout the year?
Of course He is. But during these days, the distance is different. Imagine someone you desperately need to meet. Usually, you need an appointment, you need to wait, you need to get through the door. But suddenly he calls you and says, “For the next ten days, my door is open. Just come in.”
That is עשרת ימי תשובה.
Hashem is telling us: You don’t need to become a different person overnight. Just come closer. Take one step toward Me🙏🏻  “Master of the world, I am starting. Please help me.”
When a child takes one step toward his Father, his Father runs the rest of the way.
May Hashem accept our Teshuvah באהבה וברצון, forgive all of כלל ישראל, and inscribe and seal us and our families in the ספר החיים, ספר הברכה, ספר הפרנסה, ספר הבריאות, והשלום.
May we merit:

גמר חתימה טובה, שנה טובה ומתוקה, שנת ברכה והצלחה, בריאות, פרנסה, שלום בית, נחת ושמחה — אמן. by @capomiklo28

Shabbat Shalom & Gmar Chatima Tova! 🇮🇱✡️🕊️

To all our Jewish brothers and sisters around the world, and to Israel may this Shabbat bring peace, unity, health, protection, and blessings. May we all be sealed in the Book of Life for a year of peace, strength, happiness, and SHALOM.
לַכֹּל זְמָן, וְעֵת לְכָל חֵפֶץ תַּחַת הַשָּׁמָיִם.
עֵת לָלֶדֶת וְעֵת לָמוּת; עֵת לָטַעַת וְעֵת לַעֲקוֹר נָטוּעַ.
עֵת לַהֲרוֹג וְעֵת לִרְפוֹא; עֵת לִפְרוֹץ וְעֵת לִבְנוֹת.
“For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven.
A time to be born and a time to die;
a time to plant and a time to uproot;
a time to destroy and a time to heal;
a time to tear down and a time to build.”

What does it mean?

The deeper message is that life has different seasons. Not everything is supposed to happen at the same time.

There are moments when you must build, and moments when you must tear something down.
Moments to hold on, and moments to let go.
Moments of healing, growth, beginnings—and moments of endings.

The wisdom of Kohelet is essentially:

Don’t fight every season of life. Recognize the moment you’re in, understand what it is asking from you, and have the wisdom to act accordingly.

And there is a beautiful Jewish way to look at it: an ending isn’t necessarily a failure—it can be the preparation for a new beginning. 🌱

The famous continuation of this passage goes even further: “A time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance.”

Am Yisrael Chai! 🇮🇱❤️

Shana Tova U’Metukah! 🍎🍯
May the new year be sweet, peaceful, healthy, and full of blessings CHAG SAMEAC & SHABBAT SHALOM 🌸💙🇮🇱🤙🏻

Rosh Hashanah is the Day of Judgment a time to stop, think about our lives, and ask ourselves how we can become better. It is the day we stand before Hashem, the Creator of the world. We ask Him to be our King and to give us a new year filled with health, holiness, happiness, peace, and blessings.

Our Sages teach us:

“All of mankind passes before Hashem like sheep before the shepherd.”

Every person is judged individually. Hashem knows each person, their struggles, their good deeds, and their heart. And with the judgment comes mercy and compassion.

We may feel nervous about the judgment, but we should also feel hope.

We should not enter the new year thinking about everything we did not accomplish last year. Instead, we enter with faith and trust in Hashem, believing that the new year can be better and bring blessings into every part of our lives.

We don’t know what the new year will bring…
But we know Who writes it.
So we pray: “Be King over the entire world, in Your glory.”

We remind ourselves that Hashem is in control.

We may not be able to control everything peace, the future, or what happens around us but we know that we are in the hands of our Father.

That is why every prayer, good deed, mitzvah, and effort we make during these holy days matters.

May our actions help bring goodness, blessing, salvation, peace, and redemption to each of us and to the entire world. by @capomiklo28

Shabbat Shalom “KI TAVO” the best Shabbat to every single one of you and everyone who loves Israel and the Jewish people around the world 🌎🤙🏻🙏🏻💙🇮🇱🥇🌺🍀When a person knows how to be grateful for what they have, remembers where they came from, and stays true to the path and values they were given blessing can enter their life.

Ki Tavo teaches us not to take our blessings for granted, but rather to express gratitude, uphold the covenant, and remember that true success begins with faith and responsibility. The phrase is “תכלה שנה וקללותיה” — “May the year and its curses come to an end.”

Its deeper meaning is much more powerful than simply wishing for a bad year to finish.

🌿 The deeper Jewish meaning

“תכלה שנה” — May the year come to an end.

“וקללותיה” — and may its curses come to an end with it.

The idea is that the difficulties, pain, disappointments, losses, and negative experiences of the past year should not follow us into the new one. We ask Hashem to close that chapter completely.

There is also a beautiful distinction: we don’t say “may our problems disappear” only—we ask that the entire period that carried those difficulties should reach its natural conclusion, allowing us to begin again.

It is essentially a prayer for closure, renewal, and transformation. by @capomiklo28

Shabbat Shalom U’Mevorach🤙🏻🌺💙🇮🇱“Baruch Hashem HaMevorach” “Blessed is Hashem, the Blessed One.”Parashat Ki Teitzei 5786

By Rabbi Avraham HaCohen

In our Torah portion it says:

“When you go out to war against your enemies, and Hashem your God delivers him into your hand, and you capture his captives.”

Why does the verse begin in the plural — “your enemies” — and then continue in the singular — “Hashem your God will deliver him into your hand”?

The answer brings us another understanding and deeper meaning of the war mentioned here in the Torah, one that is especially relevant to the time in which we find ourselves: the month of Elul, the month of mercy and forgiveness.

During this month, we are called upon to make a greater effort to go out to battle — to wage war against the eternal enemy: the evil inclination (Yetzer Hara).

“When you go out to war…”

The Torah promises us that all we need to do is go out — simply begin. Take the first step. Open even a small opening in your heart to come closer to Hashem.

Then you can be confident in the promise:

“And Hashem your God will deliver him into your hand.”

From Heaven, you will already be given assistance to overcome this battle, because “one who comes to purify himself is helped from Heaven.”

And that is not all. The Torah continues:

“And you will capture his captives.”

The evil inclination that previously captured you and took away some of your good qualities — such as enthusiasm, determination, happiness, energy, and so on — and used them against you to distract you and lead you down the wrong path…

Now you will defeat it and take back those very tools it used against you.

You will use them for the service of your Creator — with greater enthusiasm, greater joy, and greater energy — to fulfill the will of your Creator!

Dear brothers,

The month of Elul is now at its peak, and it is passing quickly.

Let us be wise enough to hurry and correct our deeds, directing them toward the service of our Creator. May we merit, through this, to increase our merits as we approach Rosh Hashanah, which is coming upon us for good.

Amen. by @capomiklo28
