There is a new controversy gradually brewing which has a number of Rabbis visibly upset at some of the Sofrim who deal in the sale of Tefillin. And the controversy does not seem to be going away. It has to do with Retzuos, the straps that bind the Tefillin to the head and to the arm.

Beachgoers Reminded of Shabbos from the Sky

by Tamar Runyan – Chabad.org

A paragliding advertisement reminds Jewish beachgoers of the approaching Sabbath at locations along Israel’s Mediterranean shore.

Years ago, a young Jewish woman from Argentina decided she needed to take a break from it all. She escaped to the resort town of Punta del Este in Uruguay, and was relaxing on the beach one Friday afternoon when she saw a sign, or rather a banner, from above. To her it was a welcome interruption: She was not alone.

It is quite shocking that the knee-jerk reaction of the Jewish community is automatically conditioned to be appalled at accusations and feel sorry for the accused without first thinking for even a moment about the horrendous implications for the victim.
