Rabbi Benny Hershcovich, Shliach in Cabo S. Lucas, Mexico, delivers his brief and hilarious thought on this week’s Parasha, Bo. This week Rabbi Benny answers the question: If the rabbis who sanctified the new Jewish Lunar month anyways knew the exact moment when the moon would be reborn, then why did the Torah also require the testimony of 2 witnesses who’d seen the new moon in order to seal the deal?

In this week’s edition of Letter and Spirit, in honor of Yud Shvat, we present a letter of the Rebbe underlining the Frierdiker Rebbe’s self sacrifice for Yidden in all areas of Yiddshkeit – but especially in the area of chinuch, the most vital and basic of all others.

A group of second graders sit in a circle in a colorful New York City classroom as their teacher leads them in a guided meditation of the Adon Olam prayer.
