Jerusalem reunited

Click on image to enlarge.

At the end of April, I wrote about how the folks at Yahoo weather had divided Jerusalem, Israel into Jerusalem, Yerushalayim and Jerusalem, West Bank. This week a number of sites reported about the division and the above image has replaced the one that had appeared previously. The reference to Jerusalem, West Bank is no longer an option. Thank you, Yahoo, for reuniting Jerusalem.

Have a good Shabbos. I will leave you with a thought on the Parsha adapted from Rabbi Yissocher Frand's Tapes.
Rabbi Frand began by describing the content of the parsha. "The main topic of Parshas Korach is inner-communal squabbling amongst the Jewish people (machlokes)."
Rabbi Frand related an anecdote aboout two neighbors. One named Reuven had a subscription to a newspaper while Shimon did not. However, Shimon took the liberty of reading the paper and returning it to his neighbor's porch during the early morning. When Reuven spoke to Shimon about what he had done, Shimon felt no remorse and continued taking the paper every day.
When Reuven consulted his Rabbi as to what to do, the Rabbi advised him to buy Shimon a subscription to the paper.
Reuven was incredulous but heeded the Rabbi's advice. Years later, he realized what a good investment he had made, as relations with his neighbor remained cordial.
Rabbi Frand continues:
But, one may ask: It cost Reuven money to buy that subscription for his neighbor. Why should he have to do that? The answer, the Chofetz Chaim says, is as follows: An Esrog and lulav costs money. Matzos costs money. Making Pesach costs money. Kosher meat costs money. Every year a person has to make a calculation that he needs X amount of money for mitzvos. The Chofetz Chaim says a person should put away money at the beginning of the year in a "machlokes fund". This is the money earmarked to forgo or to layout to avoid machlokes, to preserve peace among family and community members.
