Dedicate a Shiur in Mesechta Niddah
L'ilui nishmas a loved one. In honor of a simcha or yahrzeit. As a zechus for a refuah sheleimah. Your dedication helps carry Rabbi Zweig's Torah to learners around the world.
How could Ben Azzai remain unmarried while teaching that not marrying is like murder? The Rambam's distinction reveals that Ben Azzai wasn't avoiding pru u'rvu but fulfilling it through Torah - creating spiritual offspring through chiddushei Torah. His "chashkah ba'Torah" represents complete creative fulfillment where Torah study satisfies all human drives.
Why did Yosef call himself 'bones' after failing to defend Yaakov's honor when Yehuda called him 'your servant'? The shiur develops a yesod from the Maharsha that bones represent spiritual backbone - the strength that comes from connection to our roots. When we honor parents and build on Torah tradition rather than dismissing the past, we gain the security of standing 'like a dwarf on a giant's shoulders.'
