Adam's Torah
This podcast is recordings from classes given by Adam Sabzevari. There are episodes on the weekly Parasha and the Jewish holidays
There is also a series on the Sefer HaMitzvot, in which we go through the list of the Mitzvot.
We will learn the Sefer HaMitzvot HaKatzar (“Concise Book of Commandments”), written by Rabbi Yisrael Meir HaKohen Kagan (the Chofetz Chaim). The book is an abbreviated reworking of the Rambam's Sefer HaMitzvot that only includes commandments applicable outside of Israel in the post-Temple era. ************************* Podcast Link: https://adamstorah.buzzsprout.com/
Adam's Torah
Positive #17 - To Stand Before Elders and Torah Scholars
In this episode, we learn positive mitzvah #17, which is to stand before elders and Torah scholars, or talmideh chachamim.
- Elderly are defined as a 70-year-old.
- A Torah Scholar (talmid chacham) is one who is knowledgeable in Torah.
- One should stand when the elder or talmid chacham walks within 6 feet of the person, and he or she can sit back down once they pass by.
- For a "Rav Muvhak", or someone's main Rabbi from whom one learned majority of their Torah, one should stand as the Rav Muvhak enters one's eyesight
- There are two opinions as to how many times one would be required to stand per day:
- One opinion says, maximum twice per day
- The other opinion is that there is no maximum
- The elder or Torah scholar is allowed to forgo on this honor and permit people not to stand for them
