NACH 34 – Melachim 2 – Lesson 04 – Miracles of Elisha HaNavi – Habakuk HaNavi and the Blessing of Techiyat HaMeytim – Rav Anan – Syrian General Na’aman

Melachim 2 – Miracles of Elisha HaNavi – Habakuk HaNavi – Techiyat HaMeytim – Rav Anan – Speaker: Rabbi Zvi Aryeh Rosenfeld zal.
03:55 – The blessing of techiyat hameytim (revival of the dead) in the shemoneh esrey is called birkhat gevurot.
05:55 – One of the 16 miracles done by Elisha HaNavi was to save yeshiva students from poisonous soup by adding flour to the pot.
*07:43 – Elisha HaNavi accepts the offering of Bikurim (First Fruits), even though this mitzvah is only done in the Beit HaMikdash (Holy Temple). Through this we learn that a gift of food to a talmud chochom is equivalent to performing the mitzvah of Bikurim in the Beit HaMikdash. Miraculously, 22 loaves of bread provided enough to feed 2200 students.
13:31 – (Based on Ketubot 105b): Rav Anan refused to accept a gift that seemed to be a bribe וְשׂוֹנֵ֖א מַתָּנֹ֣ת יִחְיֶֽה – “He who hates gifts will live” (Mishlei 15:27). Although he disqualified himself from the case, he was still held responsible for the ensuing failure of justice.
23:10 – Tefilah (prayer) as a korbon (sacrifice). By learning about the different sacrifices, a person is credited with actually giving these sacrifices.
24:41 – Miracles of Elisha HaNavi – the second case of techiyat hameytim – introduction.
25:52 – The account of Elisha HaNavi and the Arami (Syrian) general Naaman, who was stricken with leprosy (Part 1) .
