Living Torah: Hemshech Ayin Beis, The Series of 1912

The Chasidic discourses from the year 5672 to 5676 (1912–1915) are renowned to Chasidim as ‘Hemshech Ayin Beis — The 5672 Series.’ The Rebbe Rashab invested extraordinary effort into this series, and it contains amazing concepts even compared to those of his legendary ‘Hemshech Samech Vov — The 5666 Series.’

Parasha Thought: Raw Thoughts on the Toulouse Massacre

by Rabbi Yossy Gordon

Sholom Aleichem. Some raw thoughts on the Toulouse massacre…

I thought to not start this column with “Sholom Aleichem” because the Jewish People are in an international state of mourning and to mourners one doesn’t extend this greeting. Nazi-like cruelty has been visited upon our people. It is disturbing to read how the murderer perpetrated his evil in cold blood and with an extra effort to make sure his victim didn’t live. One wants to ignore this. It is just too much to bear. But is our discomfort reason enough to make the pain of our brothers and sisters into a mere statistic?

Crown Heights Caribbean soccer players trounced by a squad of Orthodox Jews last year are itching for a rematch this weekend. But while competitive juices are flowing in advance of Sunday’s game, organizers say the game is about promoting harmony in the historically divided neighborhood.

The Heartfelt Call of a Bereaved Mother

A Call From the Heart by Mrs. Eva Sandler

My heart is broken. I am unable to speak. There are no ways for me to be able to express the great and all-consuming pain resulting from the murder of my dear husband Rabbi Jonathan and our sons, Aryeh and Gavriel, and of Miriam Monsonego, daughter of the dedicated principal of Ozar Hatorah and his wife, Rabbi Yaakov and Mrs. Monsonego.

May no one ever have to endure such pain and suffering.
