I first met Shaindel several years ago when she knocked on my door with a request. “Hello,” she said with a smile. “I have two children who need special education, and I’m collecting money for them.”

Something about the honest, straightforward way she said it touched my heart, and I was happy to help out in any way I could.

Over the next few years Shaindel would reappear at my door approximately once a year, always with the same smile.

Nevertheless, We Have Not Forgotten You

1. This year the Parshas (Torah portions) of Vayakhel and Pekudei are read together on one Shabbos.

Let us examine our two portions of this Shabbos and see if their names fit with their content:
