It was a highlight to my experience in living in Israel and I put it on my blog each day to remember. The articles that I include each day are those that I find interesting, so I feel you will find them interesting as well. I don't always agree with all the points of each article but found them interesting or important to share with you, my readers, and friends. It is cathartic for me to share my thoughts and frustrations with you about life in general and in Israel. As a Rabbi, I try to teach and share the Torah of the G-d of Israel as a modern Orthodox Rabbi. I never intend to offend anyone but sometimes people are offended and I apologize in advance for any mistakes. The most important psychological principle I have learned is that once someone's mind is made up, they don't want to be bothered with the facts, so, like Rabbi Akiva, I drip water (Torah is compared to water) on their made-up minds and hope that some of what I have share sinks in. Love Rabbi Yehuda Lave.

The earliest time in the morning that one may don his tallit is when he can differentiate between the color "techelet" (pale blue) of the sky and white (Mishnah, Tractate Brachot). The following is found in Midrash Raba: Bereisheet Raba (Vilna), portion of Bereisheet, portion 3: Rabbi Shimon ben Yehotzadak asked Rabbi Shmuel bar Nachman: since I have heard that you are an expert in Aggadah (non-halachic rabbinic literature), are you able to tell me from what was light created? He answered that we learn that the Holy One, Blessed Be He, enwrapped Himself as with a garment and spread the light of His glory from one end of the world to the other. The light is the garment, as it were, the garment which covers the Creator and this is the source of the light which brought light to the world during Creation. It is for this reason, therefore, that we say the verse " Who covers Yourself with light as with a garment, who stretches out the heavens like a curtain" (Psalm 104;2). An allusion to this is found in the letter "reish" in the words "or" (light) which is written with a special addition to remind us of the proper time for donning the tallit exactly at the moment of the source of the creation of light.
