Two people in Vilna had an argument that required a Din Torah. The agreed to choose the Dayanim through Borerus, where each one chose one Dayan and the two Dayanim would choose the third. One side chose the Vilna Gaon. The other side chose someone who wasn't a Ben Torah and the Vilna Gaon said he would not hear the case together with this other Dayan. He said that the Daas of a Ba'al HaBayis is completely different from Daas Torah and they would never see things eye to eye.
When the Vilna Gaon was asked where his basis for this was in the Torah, he said that it can be found in Parshas Bamidbar. When discussing the encampment of the Shevatim, the Torah says each Degel had three Shevatim under it. By the last Shevet in each group the pasuk say's "U'Mateh," and the Shevet... By Zevulun who was last in the Degel of Yehuda, right after Yisachar, it says [Bamidbar 2:7] "Mateh," without the letter "Vav".
The Vilna Gaon explains that the letter Vav connects what is written previously with what the Torah is saying now. Since Yisachar learned Torah, and Zevulun were the businessmen, their outlook was always different and there was no common ground between the two. Therefore, the connecting "Vav" was left out.

Rather like the Israeli elections where no functioning government could be formed not even on common ground. HaShem has other plans and I find it very exciting considering the Lubavitcher Rebbe's blessing to Netanyahu and statement that Netanyahu would be the last PM before Moshiach. When Netanyahu deemed himself a halachic authority with the entitlement to decree Shabbat could be violated for Eurovision, a chillul HaShem, thousands rallied in unity and prayed for forgiveness and elevated Shabbat, may HaShem have mercy. How could Netanyahu believe he could ever represent the religious [and] right as his endorsement to violate Shabbat was neither.
ReplyDeleteYes please G-d the next leader is the Moshiach.
ReplyDeleteThere is something else that needs to be said regarding the Rebbe's blessing to Netanyahu. It's one thing to receive a bracha from a Rebbe/tzaddik, and it's another thing to actually merit the fulfulment of that bracha. You need to make yourself a keili [vessel] fitting to receive the blessing. If you do follow the right path, you will not merit to actually get that blessing. Whether or not Bibi Netanyahu is the last PM before Moshiach remains to be seen. Yet we remain hopeful.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand Devorah, you wrote
ReplyDelete'If you do follow the right path, you will not merit to actually get that blessing'.
