The time is 1:35 AM. And I sit here with a renewed sense of passion. It's not manic enthusiasm, but rather an more introspective, in depth, even auspicious sense of understanding. There is lust, and then there's love. Lust is fleeting. It comes as a flood of impulse and emotion, but soon withers into oblivion, or worse, mediocrity. No. What I am experiencing in this moment is more than just a fleeting passion. It's a feeling of intimidation and admiration mixed with immense pride and responsibility. A connection to something that surpasses any pain, overpowers any objection, which disables any doubt. It's a love for more than financial gain, physical pleasure, or spiritual bliss. It's a love... for life. True life.
So what is Shlichus? A mission? A way of life? A chance to conquer a city?

Clarifying the Story Behind the Laundered Wig, Georgie Speaks Out
Millions of people watched the appearance of Mendi and Heidi on The Peoples Court over last few weeks, both on national TV and on the internet. The ‘trial’ ended with Judge Marilyn Milian accusing the Jewish couple of lying, embarrassing the two, and causing a Chillul Hashem of “epic proportions” as we called it. And most concluded that the Jewish couple indeed attempted to defraud the cleaners, but the story is not as straightforward as it seemed.

Within Harms Way; A Chaplain’s Tale
by Avi Lesches
Afghanistan is a country torn by war; yet it’s a vast land filled with natural beauty that has been untouched by modern development. In a mountainous area of Afghanistan, an area that is fraught with danger on every corner, it’s also a strong hold for the insurgency and Taliban. It’s on these rocky and dangerous hills that we find a lonely Jewish captain who is also an Intel officer and is serving with his unit in protecting the local roads that are crucial to the supply route for the US armed forces stationed in Afghanistan.
This story takes place during the holiday of Pesach; and in honor of the holiday Chaplain Colonel Rabbi Ira Kronenberg was stationed in Bagram Airbase to conduct and host Jewish activities, during the intermediate days Rabbi Kronenberg gets a request to go visit a Jewish soldier serving in the mountainous region, he gladly agrees.
