Is last least?
It is customary when calling up the last speaker at a simcha or function to say "讗讞专讜谉 讗讞专讜谉 讞讘讬讘".
It is customary when calling up the last speaker at a simcha or function to say "讗讞专讜谉 讗讞专讜谉 讞讘讬讘".
It is also customary to
honour special people with 讘专讻讛 讗讞专讬转讗.
It's done so, as to suggest that this 讻讬讘讜讚 is a 讞砖讜讘注 讻讬讘讜讚
Is last, more of a 讻讬讘讜讚 than the ones before?
The phrase 讗讞专讜谉 讗讞专讜谉 讞讘讬讘 comes from Rashi in Parshas 讜讬砖诇讞 .
Yakov placed his family to stand in front of Eisav , in the order
of his love for them. Hence, first
the Shfochos & their children then Leah & her children and 讗讞专讜谉
讗讞专讜谉 讞讘讬讘 Rochel & Yosef. ( distanced farthest from
Eisav) They were placed there for greater protection and has nothing
to do with 讻讘讜讚.
It is very likely that the
last 讻讬讘讜讚 is the least of the 讻讬讘讜讚讬诐 and the phrase is used, when calling up the last one, just to appease him for getting the
last (least) 讻讬讘讜讚.
The Gemoro in Gittin 60a & Shulchan Aruch O.Ch. 136 lists whom to call up
to the Torah after Kohen
& Levi. The Gemoro says you start with the most 讞砖讜讘注 person (Talmid
Chacham & Parnes ) until you get to the last two 注诇讬讜转
(砖讬砖讬* & 砖讘讬注讬) where everyone
can be 注讜诇讛. According to the Gemoro and Shulchan Aruch ,
last 注诇讬讜转 are the least 讻讬讘讜讚.
The Mishna Verurah (136 sk5) writes in the name of the Achronim ,
"Today the Minhag Is for the
Godol Hatzibur (The Rov etc.) to be mesayem the sidrah" (takes
Achron.)
There might be two reasons for this practice. a) 讗讬谉 讛诪爪讜讛 谞拽专讗转 讗诇讗 注诇 诪讬 砖讙讜诪专讛
b) The Rabonim who are 注讜诇讛 讗讞专讜谉 are practicing humility. (Praven
Anivus)
For this reason 砖讬砖讬 became a 讞砖讜讘注 注诇讬讛. Being the Gemoro says that
From 砖讬砖讬 and on everyone may be 注讜诇讛, there were Rabonim who were
humble
and asked to be called up for 砖讬砖讬 . Eventually, it became
the 讞砖讜讘注 注诇讬讛 to
be given to Rabonim.
*The Zohar disagrees with the Bavli and considers Shishi
as a Chashuva Aliya.
The word 讞砖讜讘注 is not found anywhere in:
ReplyDeleteTanach, Mishnah, Jerusalem Talmud, Babylonian Talmud, Midrash, Shulchan Aruch, or any classic commentaries on those books.

Last but not least, the Reform Jews strongly opposed efforts to save European Jews from the Holocaust during World War II.
Those rescue efforts were led by Orthodox Jews, who the Reform Jews considered to be an obsolete embarrassment.
The Reform Jews got what they wanted:
the rescue efforts were sabotajed and
prevented before they even got started.
