Der baal agalah shmaised, dee ferd briken-zich, un-dervaile fort-men (Yiddish). – Reb Mendel Futerfass.
Loosely translated: The coachman whips, the horses lash-out and all the while the journey progresses.
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will; When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill.
When the funds are low and the debts are high; and you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit; rest you must, but do not quit!
Life is queer with its twists and turns; as everyone sometimes learns, Many a failure turns about; when you might have won had you stuck it out.

The Rebbe says:
1. In the beginning of this week’s Torah portion the Torah says, “When a woman conceives and gives birth to a male…”
2. The Rebbe now quotes the “Or Hachaim” (a commentary on the Torah written by Rabbi Chaim Ben-Attar, 1696-1743):
The “Or Hachaim” asks, why does the Torah use the wording, “And gives birth to a male (V’Yalda Zachor)”, which connotes a surety regarding the birth of the male, which is different from its’ choice of wording a few verses later regarding a female, when it says, “If she gives birth to a female”?
ALMATY, Kazakhstan — Students from the Ohr Avner Chabad Day School of Almaty, Kazakhstan have just completed the first expedition of the project “Jews in Central Asia”.
