Taxes and Parsonage Demystified

As the tax is season is upon us, one issue on everyone’s mind is how much of a refund can I get? How do I take advantage of all my available deductions?

Our Heroes: Reb Gedalia Shaffer (1946-2007)

To write about Reb Gedalia is not an easy task. Many people in the community described him as a Baal-Habos working to support his family, whereas his main interest in life was studying Torah. Reb Gedalia was a person who by example taught people the value of time. He conducted himself as a Baal Midos par excellence and kept religiously to a structured schedule. Sitting at the computer and waiting for the program to load, he would have a sefer in front of him, so as not to waste even a minute or two of time
