Shabbat HaGadol
A colleague approached me today, her voice full of excitement and a bit of trepidation. "Shabbat HaGadol!" she exclaimed. "THis is truly a Shabbat Hagadol because my husband and I are planning to keep the first Shabbat in our lives.
I was thrilled to hear her good news. She saw the expression on my face and understood that I was happy for her. Wishing her well on her new journey.

Words of Wisdom
Feiglin on Victory
Words of wisdom from Rabbi Yaakov Edelstein for times like this
נבואה האחרונה! אנחנו בעיצומו של תהליך הגאולה
“Ayin tachas ayin (an eye instead of an eye)” 21:24.
The Gemara in Bava Kama (83b) emphasizes that it is not an eye that Reuven has to pay for knocking out Shimon’s eye, but its monetary value. According to the G’ro, this is inherent in the Torah’s words “Ayin tachas ayin”, rather than “Ayin be’ad ayin”.
In fact, the word “tachas” itself serves as a subtle hint to the halachah, he explains. How is that? Because if we translate it literally as ‘below’, then the Torah is telling us to take the letters below (i.e. that follow) the ‘Ayin’, the ‘Yud’ and the ‘Nun’ (that spell “Ayin”), and to pay the result to the stricken man. Now the letters below ‘Ayin’, ‘Yud’ and ‘Nun’ in the ‘Alef Beis’ are ‘Pey’, ‘Kaf’ and ‘Samech’ – which spell ‘Kesef’.

Atop the Jewelry Box
Rabbi Alter Yachnes, Legendary ‘Rebbe Alter’ Passes Away At 75
Rebbe Alter also described his most meaningful feedback: “Once when I was in Miami, a man came over to me and told me his grandmother was a Holocaust survivor who unfortunately didn’t remain religious after all her suffering during the war. In her old age, she lived with one of her children, who’d become frum. One day, when the grandchildren were listening to Ring around the Year, she heard the words from the Tishrei song, “Hashem, won’t you please forgive me, if I did not act properly…” and asked them to write it down for her on a piece of paper. When she passed away, they found that paper in her room on top of her jewelry box.”

The Power of Prayer and Words
What happened to the American Psychological Association?
Hillel Fuld posted on Facebook about his meeting with Douglas Murray, a staunch advocate for Israel.
We discussed so many topics including the million dollar question, why is moral clarity so rare nowadays?
He told me that Raoul Wallenberg who wasn’t Jewish but saved so many Jews in the holocaust is his hero. I told him that, as far as I’m concerned, he is the Raoul Wallenberg of our generation.
I also asked him, as someone who is not Jewish and didn’t grow up in a Zionist home, where he gets his love for Israel from. He looked at me confused and said “I grew up knowing how to differentiate between right and wrong. It’s that simple.”

Isn't it Ironic?
Baruch Green calls attention to the irony in a NYTimes article.
The Times article headline has a different notion of the Jewish faith than does Jewish scripture. “Is Israel part of what it means to be Jewish?” the article asks, noting that “some progressive Jews” embrace “diasporism,” thus “reimagining their faith as one that blesses their lives in America and elsewhere.”
... A photo in the Times article, of a right hand’s index finger pointing to a passage from the Talmud, calls attention to the Aramaic text about how a Jewish man must not walk more than a certain, short distance without a yarmulke on his head.
Ironically, the other side of the page photographed in the Times cites a discussion in which one rabbi asks another whether one can legally leave Israel. “It is forbidden,” the second rabbi says.

Parshat Bo
It says in the first verse in this weeks sedra – “And Hashem said to Moshe, Come to paroh.” Surely it would of mean more appropriate to say “go to paroh!” Why does the Torah use this terminology?
R’ Menachem Mendel of Kotzk says that the term “Come to Paroh” means that Hashem is saying to Moshe: “Paroh is a powerful man, but dont be afraid of him, come with me and I will protect you”

The Pure Soul
THhere are two videos posted below. In the first one, the brother of Yehuda Bacher, z'l, speaks about his brother being aptly named, as the word, "Yehuda" is connected to giving thanks. Yehuda gave thanks to Hashem consistently throughout his short life. In the second video, his brothers, along with Avishai, sing a song that was constantly on Yehuda's lips, "Elokei Neshama." From now on when you say the prayer, say it with extra intent, as a zechut for Yehuda.
