A Torn Sefer Torah 💡 Can You Read from a Torn Sefer Torah #Torah

Kitzur Shulchan Aruch: 75-6 Kitzur Shulchan Aruch: Siman: 24: Se'if 11: A Torn Sefer Torah https://youtu.be/OP-pWTIIFBg Rabbi Lev Leib Lerner discusses the intricate halachic requirements concerning the physical integrity of a Sefer Torah. When preparing for the public reading of the Torah, maintaining the sanctity and physical condition of the parchment is paramount. Specifically, Rabbi Lerner addresses the halachic implications of a seam becoming partially detached between two sections of parchment. This scenario raises critical questions about whether the Sefer Torah remains kosher for communal reading. The discussion focuses on the physical connection of the scroll and the threshold for maintaining that connection. If a seam begins to tear, one must evaluate whether the majority of the seam remains intact to determine if the public reading can proceed as planned. Rabbi Lerner guides the listener through the specific guidelines that distinguish between acceptable wear and a situation where the Sefer Torah must be replaced with another. Understanding these details is essential for those involved in synagogue management and the proper handling of holy objects. How do you determine if a scroll is still suitable for use during the reading, and what specific thresholds must be met to ensure the sanctity of the public Torah reading? Join Rabbi Lerner as he clarifies these essential laws governing the physical preservation of the scroll used in our services. - - - - - BeEzrat HaShem Learn with Lerner LevLeib@BeEzratHaShem.org Join our FREE online classes every Monday to Thursday night: +1 201-725-3444 | JEW, BE, HOLY | - - - - - Full Lecture: When Another Sefer Torah Is Needed - Kitzur Shulchan Aruch (75) https://youtu.be/Q71PzH1B3xc Textbook for the lecture: "Kitzur Shulchan Aruch: Code of Jewish Law: Vol 1: Chapters 1-34" https://www.artscroll.com/Books/9781422608326.html ———————— The purpose of life is serving HaKadosh Baruch Hu. Regrettably, in a generation plagued by ignorance, few realize the purpose of their existence, and fewer are privileged to know how to achieve this Holy mission. Even with the spark of mussar igniting the will to return to our Father in Heaven, people don’t know what they don’t know. Without the proper basic knowledge of how to serve HaShem in His measures, one inevitably falls into sins with no way out. Chiddushei HaRim teaches us that all sin is a form of theft, for man misappropriates the abilities endowed by God and uses them against Him. Through Teshuvah (literally, return), one makes restitution for the theft by dedicating one’s talents, abilities, and very life to his Creator. But How? When one finally realizes he wasted years in futility and the distances he strayed from God, when one endures the pain and shame of disappointing HaShem for all his life and yarns to return, how? Few are like Rabbi Elazar Ben Durdaya merited to pour out his soul in tears for sincere Teshuvah (Avodah Zarah 17a). We need more learning, guidance, and practical instruction to fix our deeds, perfect our souls, and mend our relationship with the King of Kings. Fortunately, as always, HaShem provides a cure for every ailment, and so does He pave our way back. Written by Rabbi Shlomo Ganzfried zt”l, Kitzur Shulchan Aruch — Code of Jewish Law provides authoritative, concise, and all-encompassing guidance for a Jewish life. With clear instructions and commentaries from Mishnah Berurah and Igros Moshe, the classic work of halachah presents us with good, general knowledge and the bottom line for the Jewish obligation and the right path to fulfill our Holy Mission. Moreover, in the “Kitzur Shulchan Aruch” series, Rabbi Lev Leib Lerner guides us line-by-line through this monumental halachic work with practical application and complementary explanations in hashkafa and mussar. Learn with Rabbi Lev Leib Lerner, study the guide of Jewish life, and join the journey of getting closer to HaKadosh Baruch Hu. Our Father in Heaven has been longing for us for too long, and it’s time to go back. ———————— #ATornSeferTorah #TornSeferTorah #TakeOurADifferentSeferTorah #Chumash #FiveBooksOfMoses #LawsOfASeferTorahFoundToHaveAnError #LawsOfASeferTorahFoundToHaveInvalidation #TorahReading #Shacharis #Shacharit #Minchah #Mincha #Maariv #JewishMorningPrayer #LawsOfJewishPrayer #Shacharit #Shacharis #LawsOfPrayer #JewishPrayer #Daven #Davening #ShulchanAruch #KitzurShulchanAruch #TheCodeOfJewishLaw #MishnahBerurah #JewishLife #BeezratHashemHalachot #BeezratHashemHalachos #BeezratHashemhalachah #AppliedHalachah #AppliedJewishLaw #LiveAsAJew #ObservantJew #OrthodoxJudaism #Halachah #Halachot #Halachos #Halachah #JewishLaw #Torah #Mitzvah #Mitzvot #Mitzvos #JewishValue #JewishHashkafa #Halachos #Halachot #BeezratHashem #RabbiLevLeibLerner #RabbiLerner #LearnWithLerner #BeezratHashemLearnWithLerner #BeezratHashemHalachot #BeezratHashemHalachos #LevLeibLerner #LevLerner #RabbiLevLerner
