CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — A new initiative by the Police is “Cell Phone Registration”, a program which is similar to bike registration which is aimed at being able to return stolen goods and prosecute criminals for the thefts.

“When someone gets arrested and police find on him a cell phone that is suspected to be stolen we cannot do anything but confiscate it” said a police source, he added that “when we take a phone and put the ultraviolet light and find the registration number we can contact the owner and have this criminal prosecuted for the theft as well”.

The Rebbe says:

Part One:

1. In the beginning of this week’s Torah portion the Torah begins discussing Nedarim (vows) and says, “If a man takes a vow to Hashem or swears an oath to establish a prohibition upon himself, he shall not desecrate his word; according to whatever comes from his mouth shall he do”. The Torah then goes on to discuss the details of this law and explains that when a woman takes a vow and she is married or under the age to legally be considered a woman, her husband or her father can annul the vow. The Torah then concludes this topic by saying, “These are the Chukim (super-rational commands) which Hashem (G-d) commanded Moshe (Moses) concerning a man and his wife, and a father and his adolescent daughter who is under the jurisdiction of her father’s house”.

2. The Rebbe now lays the foundation for this discussion:

We have mentioned many times that the objective of Rashi (an acronym for Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki) is to explain every detail of the verses that are not understood according to their simple meaning. And when Rashi does not explain something which is seemingly not understood, this is evidence that the issue can be easily understood on our own or that Rashi already explained this issue earlier.
