Living, Breathing Faith
Despite the number of cooks in the kitchen, preparations to create a Shabbat dinner were moving smoothly. That’s no small feat, and this was no small event – not just because the Mangels are a family with eight children, ages 3 to 19.

To Indulge Or Not To Indulge? Something To Think About… Something To Drink About
Should we all abstain from physical pleasures in order to become more “Holy” before the Almighty? This week’s Parsha, Nasso, presents two somewhat peculiar laws back to back: The law of the Sotah – the wife suspected by her husband of committing adultery and the law of the Nazir – one who takes a vow of abstinence.

Here’s My Story: Taking up the Rebbe’s Time
In the 1950s, when I was a young man, I befriended Rabbi Moses Rosen, who was the chief rabbi of Romania. Whenever he came to New York, he prayed in my shul, which was the Fifth Avenue Synagogue, and when we discovered that we both spoke French, it brought us together. We became good friends, our wives became friends, and it was a great friendship for friendship’s sake, as the saying goes.
