A VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! B”H

B”H!

Shalom Aleichem kol Haverim v’kol Achim!

This Group, Ang Ilaw Kabbalah Study Group, will be now become officially defunct and inactive. Due to some circumstances, this site will now be closed and we are very pleased to announce that The Ang Ilaw Philippine Kabbalah Study Group, formed April 21 2008, will now be replaced by the Chevraia Kadisha Shel B’nei Avraham (Holy Brotherhood of the Sons of Avraham) which, was established unofficially, last December 19 2010.

The Chevraia Kadisha (The Holy Brotherhood) will now replace our former group and kehilot (congregation) Ang Ilaw Kabbalah Study Group, which was established 2 yrs. ago. Due to some unpredicted circumstances, the group disbanded and became inactive.

We will try our best through the help of Holy One, Blessed be He, B”SD to spread and disseminate the Light of the Creator in our country through the translation of articles and related studies from the English language to our Native tongue, Filipino. For the benefit of our brothers who has comprehension difficulties on English  and to those who are underprivileged who can only reach out the Wisdom through the Filipino Language (no insult, derogatory or degradation intended).

To those who would like to participate in our projects, please e-mail us at: chevraia.kadisha@gmail.com

Stay tuned guys, and B’ezrat Adonai (By the Help of G-d), let the dissemination of Light of His Torah be of help in uplifting all the sufferings and burdens that all of humanity is undertaking,

Amein v’Amein!

B”sd v’ B”H!

Shalom,

Orel Yair

May i ask, in behalf of all those whose lives are endangered, to please extend your hand to these people? Of Whosoever heart is filled with genuine kindness, open your heart towards them and bestow a part of your “Light” to those who are affected.

Lingguhang Chassidut: “Siya ay tinatawag na mapagmahal at maawain”

“Siya (Ang Maykapal) ay binansagang mapagmahal at maawain para siya ay lubusang makilala.”

- Rabbi Dovber ng Mezritch

Lingguhang Dunong: “Ang siyang hindi pa nakakalasap ng Liwanag ng Zohar”

“Ang siyang hindi pa nakakakita sa Liwanag ng Aklat ng Zohar ang siyang hindi pa nakakalasap ng Liwanag”

-Ateret Tzvi, Parashat Behaalotcha

Pang araw-araw na Chassidut: “Kung posibleng sirain, maari ding ituwid!”

“Kung ikaw ay naniniwala na puwedeng sirain, kung gayon ay maniwala ka rin na posibleng ituwid (kung ano man ang iyong nasira)…wala namang (dahilan para sa) kawalan ng pag-asa dito sa mundo sa lahat ng bagay.”

- Rabbi Nachman ng Breslov

Advance Shanah Tova from Ang Ilaw Philippine Kabbalah Study Gorup

Advance Shanah Tova to all of us.

How will you start the year anew, and begin a new life with the Light? So now we must search our ways and mend it, and plant a good seed so that we can reap a good fruit for this coming year. Let us search, and strive to begin a new, before the time comes. So now during this month of Elul we must cultivate the seed which we have plant for the years to come.

Should we waste our time sitting, and watching the hour to pass-by?

Go, and advance now!

Shavua Tov and Advance Shana Tova from Ang Ilaw Philippine Kabbalah Study Group!

Pang araw-araw na Chassidut: “Kahit ano pa man ang kalagayan…”

“Kahit na ano pa mang kalagayan na iyong pinaroroonan, naiisin mong maging isa sa Maykapal”

- Rabbi Israel Ben Eliezer (Baal Shem Tov)

Lingguhang Chassidut: “Ang Hangarin ng Diyos Lamang”

Kapag ang isang tao ay ninanais lamang kung ano ang hangarin ng Maykapal, ito ay ginagawa ang Diyos na hari. Subalit kapag ang isang tao ay hinangad ang isang bagay kaiba kung sa anong ginugusto ng Maykapal, Ito ay nag-bibigay lakas sa mga imoral na puwersa. Ang isang tao ay dapat ipawalang bisa o ipawalang silbi ang kanyang sariling kaisipan hanggang sa punto na kung saan wala na siyang nais at hangarin pa sa anumang bagay maliban sa kung anong hinahangad ng Panginoon, kung mabibiyayaan man siya ng yaman, mga anak o hindi, huwag sanang itulot ng Diyos. Dapat ito ay pareho sa lahat ng anumang ginugusto niya. Dapat niyang naisin kung ano ang hinahangad ng Diyos. At ito ay ginagawa ang Diyos na nag iisang Hari.

- Rabbi Nachman ng Breslov
