Everyone of us faces the same dilemmas on a constant weekly basis. Whether we're in the kitchen of our home, Shul, Chabad House or summer camp:

May I add water on Shabbos to the food on the blech which is drying?
May I move food from one pot on the blech to another?
The fire went out under my blech. May I move the pot to another blech?
I mistakenly placed my pot on the table. May I replace it back to the blech?

Rabbi Yitzchok Tiechtel
NASHVILLE, TN — Today is the day of Yom Kippur. It is the holiest day of the year on the Jewish calendar — the day on which we are closest to G-d and to the quintessence of our own souls. It is the Day of Atonement.

Systems exist all around us. The way we live; the way we do business. Each element of our lives from the mundane to the sublime — they always come down to some sort of system. We may not think of most of what takes place in our world as a “system” at work, but everything in our universe can be traced to the functions of one system or another.

Yom Kippur is day to Think About the Ultimate System
