By Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Jax, Florida
Amongst the varied items for which we seek forgiveness in the confession prayer recited on the holy Yom Kippur, is a somewhat odd class of transgression: “The sins which we have committed before You with the ‘Yetzer hara,’ (evil inclination).”

“But,” as my early days spiritual mentor would rhetorically muse, “Aren’t all sins preformed with the evil inclination? Surely there are no sins committed with the ‘Good inclination?’”

“The sins which we have committed with the evil inclination,” he would offer as a rejoinder, “Refers not to sins which the evil inclination had managed to drag us into, but rather to sins into which we had managed to drag our evil inclination.”

It was a beautiful day on March 1, 1994, as Nachum Sasonkin, an Israeli-born 18-year-old student at the Lubavitcher Yeshiva in Brooklyn, rode in a van with his friends, returning to yeshiva from a visit to the hospital in Manhattan where their Rebbe, R’ Menachem Mendel Schneerson—lay in a coma. They were young men, teenagers, studying in yeshiva; everything was just the way they had hoped it would be. But then, all of a sudden and out of nowhere, everything went black. Someone was shooting at their school bus.

From the Inbox: A letter from concerned mother with child care tips.

As a working mother (I would love to stay home but unfortunately there are bills to pay) I am faced with the challenge of finding an appropriate babysitter for my child(ren). In my quest to find a loving, caring, devoted woman to care for my child while I am away-and my experience using some has left me with a haunting question. DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR CHILD IS? I started off naïve (like many) thinking that sending my child to an experienced mother of many was surely a good place for him...

For a woman to open a babysitting service in her home takes little or no effort at all. The place is rent free and she takes out her own childrens toys. Many are warm and caring but there are many that do it for the money alone and don’t have your child’s best interest at heart. I am happy to say that my child is (now B’h) by an incredible woman whom he lovingly calls ‘Bubby’ but here are some things that I personally saw and heard from other mothers.
