Young Teen Struck by a Car

A staff member from the Darchai Menachem school who is also a Shomrim member witnessed how the 14 year old teen, who was not Jewish, darted out from in between two parked cars and a passing car, driven by a Hispanic, attempted to stop but couldn’t and ran over the teen.

Traveling Matza Bakery Reaches Over 2,000 Children

BOCA RATON, FL [CHI] — The traveling Matzah Bakery is a hands-on fun learning experience led by Rabbi Shmuly G. Beginning with an animated introduction about Pesach, the children get right into the Pesach spirit and go to the “field” to pick their very own wheat stalk. They roll, mash, and crush the wheat stalk to separate the kernels from the shaf. The kernels are placed into a grinder and each child has a turn to grind the kernels and sift the flour.

Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL
The custom in our Shul is to read a short meditation each morning, upon the conclusion of services. It was the following thought, in the name of the holy Baal Shemtov, that elicited a rather fervent debate:

“Your fellow is your mirror. If your own face is clean, so will be the image you perceive. But should you look upon your fellow and see a blemish, it is your own imperfection that you are encountering – you are being shown what it is that you must correct within yourself.”

“Does this mean that we can never perceive evil or wrongdoing without implicating ourselves?” protested a thoughtful and generally soft-spoken congregant. “I find this troubling!”

“What about Osama Binladin or Achmadinidjad? Is the recognition of their brutal and inhumane conduct reflective of one’s own wickedness and terrorist propensities? With all due respect, this makes no sense to me.”

The Rebbe says:

1. In this week’s Torah portion the laws of Niddah are discussed.

2. The Rebbe now analyzes the external aspect of Niddah:

The reason why the blood of Niddah causes Tumah (ritual impurity) can be understood according to the Talmud which states that the blood of Niddah is part of the ten curses which Chava (Eve) was cursed with when she sinned with the Tree of Knowledge in Gan Eden (the Garden of Eden).

From this we see that the natural creation of woman did not include this blood of Niddah; only because of the sin of the Tree of Knowledge did this begin. Therefore, being that this blood comes from a sin, and not just any sin, but a sin which is the source for all future sins, this blood is Tumah.
