âIf someone attempted a word with you, would you be angry?
But who could stop themself from speaking?
Truly you have instructed many
And strengthened hands that were weak
Those who were strugglingÂ
have been upheld by your words
And knees that were shaking
you have strengthenedÂ
But now you are the one facing troubleÂ
and you are weary
It has touched youÂ
and you are troubledÂ
Shouldnât your piety be your confidence
and your honest ways be your hope?
Remember who of the innocent has perished
and where has the upright been cut off?
As I see it
those who plow iniquity
and sow trouble
reap the same
By the nishmat of Eloah they perish
and by the ruah of His anger they are consumedÂ
The roar of the lionÂ
and the voice of the fierce lionÂ
and the teeth of the young lions
are broken
The old lion dies when there is no food
and the cubs of the lioness are separated.â
Part 1 of Eliphazâs 4 part speech.Â
nishmat (breath, blast): The same word as âbreathâ in Genesis 2:7. The supernatural wind or breath of God that gives and takes life. See also 2 Samuel 22:16, Psalm 18:15, Genesis 7:22, Isaiah 30:33, Job 26:4, and Job 37:10.Â
âThe human nishmat is the lamp of the LORD that sheds light on oneâs inmost being.â (Proverbs 20:27 NIV)
ruah (wind, spirit): Same root as the word for âspiritâ in Genesis 1:2. Can be physical wind, supernatural wind, or the metaphorical spirit of something. See also Psalm 33:6, Psalm 55:8, Exodus 15:8, Isaiah 4:4, and Isaiah 11:4.
âNow the âerets was tohu and bohu, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the ruah âElohiym was hovering over the waters.â (Genesis 1:2 NIV)
nagaâ (touch): The theme of being touched shows up periodically in the book of Job. The enemy asks God to touch Job and smite him; the wind touched the house and made it fall; when a person is dying they can reach out and touch death. The verb is used a lot in the Bible. In Job it is used in 1:11, 1:19, 2:5, 4:5, 5:19, 6:7, 19:21, and 20:6.
naqiy (innocent): See also Gen 24:41, Job 9:23, and Psalm 10:8.
tom (integrity): I am interested if this is the noun associated with the adjective tam. See also Gen 20:5-6, Job 21:23, Psalm 101:2, and Prov 2:7.
âawen (iniquity): Job and David use this word a lot. See also Num 23:21, Deut 26:14, Job 5:6, and Psalm 5:5.Â

Rebbe Nachman Teaches: Elul is A Time of Life-Changing Spiritual Work â Prepare Now!

Sharing Rebbe Nachmanâs teachings with others will sweeten judgments for the upcoming new year. Dedicate One or More BreslovWoman Programs in Honor or Memory of someone, for a Refuah Sheleimah, as a merit for Success, Parnassah, a Shidduch, Children, Shalom Bayit, Spiritual Growth, or anyâŠ
The spirit of all that lives shall praise Thy Name, Lord God, and the breath of all flesh shall ever glorify and exalt Thy remembrance, O our King. From everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God, and beside Thee we have no King who redeemeth, saveth, delivereth, protecteth, sustaineth, and pitiethâin all time of trouble and distress, we have no King but Thee. Thou art God of the first and the last: God of all creation, Lord of all generations, who is lauded with all praises, who guideth His world with kindness and His creatures with mercy. For the Lord doth not slumber nor sleep: He awakeneth the sleepers and arouseth the slumberers, maketh thos that are dumb speak, looseneth those that are bound, supporteth those who falter, and raiseth up those that are bowed. To thee alone do we render thanks. Even were our mouths filled with song as is the sea, and out tongues moved with joy like its many waves, and out lips were filled with praise like the expanse of the firmament: even though our eyes shone as the sun and moon, and out hands were outspread like the eagles' wings, and out feet were fleet as the hinds': we should yet fall short of thanking Thee, O Lord God, and God of our Fathers, for one in a thousand of the many thousands and myriads of tenderness which Thou hast bestowest on our fathers and on us.
from âNishmat Kol Chaiâ, trans. Cecil Roth.Â
  âWere our mouth as full of song as the sea, and our tongue as full of joyous song as its multitude of waves, and our lips as full of praise as the breadth of the heavens, and our eyes as brilliant as the sun and the moon, and our hands as outspread as the eagles of the sky and our feet as swift as hindsâ

Friends, I'm not someone to ask for donations. But if you're able to, please consider helping Nishmat. Nishmat is a Modern Orthodox Torah institute for women in Jerusalem. By donating to one of their programs, you'll ensure that they'll be able to continue teaching women Torah and, in the case of the Maayan program, to continue their work with Ethiopian women.

Do you know if there are lots of rules at Nishmat? Are they the type that tell you what you can or cannot wear in your free time? Or do they treat us like adults
Youâre expected to maintain a very basic level of tznius during class time, as well as in the public areas of the school outside of class time (the dorms and classrooms are all in one big building, and there are several staff families that live in the building as well, so there could men walking around at any given time even after the male teachers have gone home for the day). They donât concern themselves with what you are wearing outside of the school grounds.
Shana BaAretz does have more rules overall than Tochnit Alisa, just because the girls are younger and most havenât lived away from home before and itâs a safety/liability issue (Tochnit Alisa girls are college/post-college and have been living independently). But itâs less about keeping you in line in a religious sense and more about keeping you alive and unharmed and accounted for. (If chas vâshalom thereâs another war or spike in terrorism, the rules are temporarily tightened.) I donât know exactly the full extent of their rules, though.
When it hurts, you got to say it hurts and when it's amazing you got to say it's amazing! In this podcast I share the secret of why NOW is amazing. It has to do with this very special prayer call Nishmas ( or Nishmat). It is changing my life. I'm sharing it here, so it can change yours too.

I've been gradually trying to become more observant, and I have a question that feels a little too embarassing/personal to ask a rabbi in person-- I'm a married woman, but having an IUD means that while I still have a menstrual cycle, I don't actually bleed during my periods, or only VERY rarely (once or twice a year maybe). would I still go to a mikvah? & how would I know when to do so?
This question is beyond the scope of my knowledge to feel confident answering (being that Iâm neither married nor have any knowledge of IUDs or their relationship with halacha), but a great resource for this kind of question is Nishmatâs Yoatzot Halacha program, which exists to provide women with information about mikvah and other concerns of taharas hamishpacha. There is a lot of information on the site itself, but there is also a place where you can email questions and a hotline you can call. The people who are answering are all women who have spent a great deal of time studying these topics, and itâs less embarrassing because (a) you can email and (b) itâs a woman on the other end. I have met several of the women who answer questions and they are all fantastic, knowledgeable, and tactful.
Kol hakavod for seeking out answers! And best of luck on your journey. :)
