From the Safer Haminhagim: [Every day from Rosh Chodesh Nissan until the twelfth of the month, usually after Shacharis,] one reads the passage [from Bamidbar 7-8:4] that describes the offering brought on that day by a particular Nasi, or tribal prince, for the dedication of the altar of the Mishkan. [In common parlance, each day's passage itself is often referred to as “the Nasi.”] This daily reading is followed by the prayer which opens with the words yehi ratzon (and which appears in Siddur Torah Or [as well as in Siddur Tehillat HaShem, p. 371]). This prayer is recited even by a Kohen or a Levi [despite its seeming relevance only to tribes other than the Tribe of Levi]. [284]

Rabbi Sets Aside Sorrow for Daughter’s Wedding

Calgary Herald

Rabbi Menachem Matusof, right, celebrates his daughter Mussie’s wedding to Mendel Rosenblum on Tuesday at Calgary’s Beth Tzedec Synagogue.

On the day of his daughter’s wedding, a Calgary rabbi was in mourning.

Rabbi Menachem Matusof is the younger brother of Rabbi Yosef Matusof, the senior rabbi, founder and principal of the elementary school in Toulouse, France, where three children — ages four, five and eight — and a trainee rabbi were murdered in a terror spree last week that claimed the lives of seven people.
