Bishalach – פרשת בשלח – When <Pharoah> Sent <the Jews>

13:17-18 וַיְהִי בְּשַׁלַּח פַּרְעֹה אֶת הָעָם וְלֹא נָחָם וגומר וַחֲמֻשִׁים עָלוּ בְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם: And it was when Pharaoh sent the nation and (G-d) did not lead etc. and with provisions/arms/one fifth the Children of Israel ascended from the land of Egypt.

Leaving the Haichulay Hatimooroas (Chambers of Exchange) it is necessary to establish the means to receive the light of the risheemoo (notable residue) of the light, and through this it is possible to retain a holy stance

This matter transpires over everyone who desires to draw HY

Faith, Spirit, Bacteria, and Demons

HH
I would say just as blessed memory revealed that a person is surrounded play tens of thousands of demons, animals can see them, the humans cannot because if they would be able to see them they would go mad. The words of ever holy sages are absolute truth and need no outside corroboration for vindication. Even still we can make their words more real to us by seeing how natural they are. That's we can point out that everyone knows today how there are millions of bacteria everywhere, and it is very readily understood that every living organism has a spiritual force behind it, and thus it is all that much clearer to us the words of our holy Sages that they are all these spiritual entities surrounding us.
This post was inspired by an article I just saw of how even when we are sleeping the bacteria abound on our flesh and faces and proliferate, fancy that. This drove home extreme warning of our holy Sages of the importance of Krias Shima Al Hameetu - the recital of the Shema and prayers before going to sleep which destroy all the damaging and avenging spiritual entities, fancy what that does to all those bacteria.
Rabbi Nussun once had to explain to a skeptic the words of our holy Sages that the worms that eat a corpse are as painful as a needle puncturing live skin, explain the concept of kista dichayee - the residue you of life which remains in the bones and thus even the skeptic can understand how a corpse can feel pain. One of Rabbi Nussun's disciples overheard the conversation and antiques cleaned in wonderment how unbelievable the explanation was and until now it is so well understood. Rabbi Nusson was furious with him, he told him all this I explained to the skeptic who doubted the words of our holy Sages and needed this, but anyone who has believed accepts the words of the sages as iron-clad absolute truth that need no confirmation and on the contrary confirmations just detract from their power and veracity.

כדור - ball or pill

HH

The Code of Jewish Law (Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 308:45) rules that it is forbidden to play ball (kadur) on the Shabbos and Yom Tov (holidays). The Jerusalem Talmud says that there was a city in the province of the tribe of Shimon which was destroyed because they played ball on Shabbos.

The holy words of our Sages were written with Divine Inspiration and are thus open to understanding even in ways and conscious that might not have occurred to their authors (this is explained in Likutay Moharan). The word ball - kadur - today also means a pill. Now pills that are medicine are permitted to be taken on the Shabbos, that leaves a very strong nuance that are Sages have revealed that it is forbidden to seek the recreation of pills on the Shabbos. This doesn't mean that not on Shabbos it is permissible, on the contrary, not on Shabbos there was not even a thought that it would be permissible, only on Shabbos, one might come to justify substances that they consider to enhance their Shabbos experience, so the Sages said definitely don't go there....

Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman!

ב"ה

בשלחן ערוך (סימן שח סעיף מה): ''אסור לשחק בשבת ויום טוב בכדור''.  ואמרו בתלמוד ירושלמי: ''עיר שמעון חרבה, בגלל שהיו משחקים בה בכדור בשבת''.

והנה דברי חז"ל נאמרו ברוח הקודש, וסובלים פירושים אפילו שלא עלו על דעתם, כמבואר בלקוטי מוהר"ן, ולכן בודאי יש לראות בדבריהם אזהרה מלקחת כדורים - סמים - אפילו בשבת. כי יש רוצים להתיר כאילו לקיחת סמים בשבת, לכבוד ולענג את השבת. ובדברי חז"ל יכולים לראות שזה לא הדרך וזה לא העיר להגיע לקדושת ולענג שבת קודש.
