Blessings? How can you call Reuven's and Shimon's blessings, blessings? There's not a hint of a blessing in those sentences.
I enjoy your shiurim tremendously, Rabbi. This is my third year listening to you. Yasher Koach ! Reply

question regarding tribal ancestory I find the blessings of each tribe fascinating. Can any person of Jewish ancestory find out which tribe they might belong to? If a Jewish family have certain talents passed down in generations, could that be a clue to the identity of tribal ancestory? Thanks again for the wonderful teaching. Reply

in response to Lisa Aubert:

Absolutely! I am a born Lebanese Druze who converted to Christianity five years ago & I believe I was a Jew. I have been mesmerized by the Torah study & feel deeply that I belong to one of the twelve tribes. My being is to figure out this question. Story of my life. I will one day. Been studying The Hebrew Language & I think I'm getting closer year by year. With HaShem’s help I will. Reply

Ziad, You wrote a very nice thought.
There is the Kohain, there is the Levite. Other than that, 99% of Jews don't give it much attention.
I heard an explanation today. The first letter in the Torah is "beis". The shape of the letter is a line on the top, a line on the bottom, a line on the right side connecting them. It's open the left side. To tell us: don't focus on what's above (in the heavenly, celestial worlds and the celestial beings) or what's below (in the netherworld with its beings) or what's behind (about our previous lives or our tribe). We go towards the open side on the left. F ocus on the future. Reply
