often used to describe the Jewish people along with \u201cThe Children of Israel.\u201d The interchangeability of this phrase comes from the two names that Jacob bore in his lifetime. Jacob was renamed \u201cIsrael\u201d after he\u2019d wrestled with an Angel for one night, (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chabad.org\/8227#v29\">Genesis 32:29)<\/a>. Thus, those of \u201cThe House of Jacob\u201d and \u201cThe Children of Israel\u201d are both ways of referring to the Jewish people. However, the two phrases each endow different characteristics: while \u201cthe children of Israel\u201d implies the peace and joy of being Jewish by highlighting the familial relationship between G-d and Jews, \u201cThe house of Jacob\u201d refers to more trying aspects of being Jewish\u2014Jacob\u2019s life before he wrestled the Angel was rife with angered conflict and desperate struggle, as his emergence into the world grabbing his twin\u2019s heel forecasted (Tauber). \u201cBereishit &#8211; Genesis &#8211; Chapter 32,\u201d <em>The Complete Jewish Bible (with Rashi Commentary)<\/em>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chabad.org\/8227#v29\">Genesis 32:29<\/a> Rpt. in, \u201cLEINING MASTER &#8211; INDIVIDUAL PARSHA DOWNLOADS &#8211; SEPHARDIC\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.judaicapress.com\/collections\/Wieder-Rabbi%20Jeremy\">Wieder, Rabbi Jeremy<\/a><em>.

The phrase for \u201care heard\u201d (\u05e0\u05d5\u05b9\u05e9\u05b4\u05c1\u05d9\u05dd) is used in Jeremiah 33:10 (Sefaria). Here, G-d says to Jeremiah that the sound of celebration will again be heard in the ruined city of Jerusalem. In this Parsha, the houses and palaces of the Jewish people were destroyed to make mounds in preparation for the battle against the Chaldeans. The Jews lost the battle, and G-d ordained that the Chaldeans would conquer the Jewish nation, but they refused to listen. G-d then talks to Jeremiah in prison and explains to him that one day the Jews will return to Israel in prosperity and the Davidic dynasty and Kohanim will be reestablished (OUTorah). G-d says that his covenant with the Jewish people and his promise to reestablish old orders have no more chance of being broken than the \u201ccovenant\u201d to turn the night into day, and the day into night (33). This biblical metaphor may have inspired Meir\u2019s motif of darkness (night) turning to light (day). \u201cJeremiah 33:10.\u201d <em>Sefaria<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sefaria.org\/Jeremiah.33.10?lang=bi\">https:\/\/www.sefaria.org\/Jeremiah.33.10?lang=bi<\/a>.

Appears in Genesis 32:3 (Sefaria) (also in Leviticus, Deuteronomy, numbers). The laws and rituals that maintain the purity of military camps in Deuteronomy imply that Jewish people are meant to make all temporary dwelling places holy. The phrase, v\u2019haya mahaneycha \u201cand your camp(s) shall be holy, combines a singular verb (v\u2019haya, holy) and plural noun (&#8220;mahaneycha,&#8221; plural of &#8220;machana,&#8221; camps). The plurality of the camps is meant to be taken as one when unified under a singular ordainment of purity. This singular ordainment is evident in the article&#8217;s comparison between tabernacle purity rituals and military camp purity rituals: both follow the same laws. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myjewishlearning.com\/history\/Modern_History\/1700-1914\/Denominationalism\/Orthodox\/Samson_Raphael_Hirsch.shtml\">Rabbi Shimshon (Samson) Raphael Hirsch<\/a>, \u201cWhat is said here primarily for military camps is, of course, meant to apply to any \u201ccamp\u201d\u2014to any sphere in which we may temporarily or permanently settle.

In, \u201cFor he despairs of his dwelling place,\u201d dwelling place simply translates to residence. The translation could have chosen residence, home, abode, etc. Why was \u201cdwelling place\u201d specifically chosen? The translator may have been trying to convey elements of Jewish mysticism Meir of Norwich was undoubtedly familiar with, given how informed his entire poem is in rabbinical Torah study. Rabbi Shnuer Zalman, leader of the Chabad movement explains that \u201cA dwelling place for G-d\u201d has its basis in the idea of the Kabbalistic worlds of creation, with the physical world of humanity being the lowest world. Although G-d permeates all worlds, the expression of G-d is hidden in darkness in the lowest world, and needs the Jewish people to be active in accomplishing mitzvot to reveal G-d\u2019s holiness, which Rabbi Shnuer Zalman describes, as do many other scholars, as G-d\u2019s \u201clight.&#8221; He writes, \u201chere, in this world, the conceptualization of G-dliness is understood in a way of hiddenness and great darkness. G-d desires that we light up the darkness specifically. How do we do this? Through mitzvoth and Torah.\u201d Zalman, Shnuer.

It&#8217;s possible that the idea of dreams needing interpretation refers to the saying in Number 12:6 where G-d proclaims prophetic visions to come through dreams. \u201cHis dreams\u201d seems like an even more pointed reference to the story of Joseph.

There are four exiles \u201carba galuyot\u201d<em> <\/em>(the four exiles). The first was Babylon (423 BCE &#8211; 372 BCE), when Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, besieged the kingdom of Judah and destroyed the first temple, resulting in the Jews&#8217; exile to Babylon. The second exile was caused by the King of Persia, who conquered Babylon in 372 BCE. This exile lasted from 372 BCE to 348 BCE, when the rule was passed over to Cyrus the Great, who admitted the Jews to return to Jerusalem to build the second temple. The third exile involved the Greek rule of ancient Israel (371 BCE &#8211; 140 BCE), this exile saw a major assimilation of Jews into Greek culture and the forcible translation of the Torah into Greek. The rebellion of the Maccabees also occurred and is now commemorated as the holiday of Hanukkah\/Chanukah. The fourth exile started with the Roman Empire, and was arguably the most brutal of its predecessors, and is said to have lasted until today. The Roman Empire who\u2019d ruled over Israel at the time enacted a suppression of Jewish protests in 69 CE that ended in a widespread destruction of Jewish homes and the destruction of the second temple of Jerusalem. Note that \u201carba galuyot\u201d does not include the Assyrian exile (733 BCE-722 BCE) since although the ten tribes of Israel (see the note on the \u201cten lost tribes\u201d) were dispersed during the exile, Jerusalem remained under Jewish sovereignty until the Babylonian exile.&nbsp;Schochet, Dovie. \u201cDiscover the Four Exiles of the Jewish People: The history of galut.\u201d&nbsp;Chabad.org, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chabad.org\/library\/article_cdo\/aid\/3671017\/jewish\/Discover-the-Four-Exiles-of-the-Jewish-People.htm#footnote1a3671017\">https:\/\/www.chabad.org\/library\/article_cdo\/aid\/3671017\/jewish\/Discover-the-Four-Exiles-of-the-Jewish-People.htm#footnote1a3671017<\/a>.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Note on the footnotes: The superscript symbols for the English text and Hebrew text footnotes are in numerical form.
