Jewish History

Rabbi Shimshon Raphael Hirsch (1808-1888), Talmudist, scholar, philosopher, prolific author and Rabbi of Frankfurt am Main, passed away on this date. He was instrumental in revitalizing German Jewry, bringing thousands back to the teachings of the Torah at a time when assimilationist trends threatened to extinguish Jewish life in Western Europe.

Daily Thought

Rabbi Jonah said, “The prophet Jonah ben Amitai was just another pilgrim to the Temple. He walked into the Sukkot celebration, the divine spirit rested upon him, and he became a prophet.”

The Magid of Mezritch taught:

Joy is the path to the divine.

And Sukkot is a time for joy.

A joy that can lift everyone to the highest heights, regardless of where they stand right now.

Ohr Torah, siman 431.​
