The Weekly Comic! – Parshas Tazria!

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 Weekly Sedra – Tazria – Life Is A Mess
Der baal agalah shmaised, dee ferd briken-zich, un-dervaile fort-men (Yiddish). – Reb Mendel Futerfass.

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”?

The following is a fascinating encounter between a young Lubavitch girl from crown heights who was going through a very hard time in her personal life, and the Rebbe's involvement in helping her through the hard time's she was experiencing. It's an excerpt from the new book on the Rebbe “The Rebbe Inspiring a Generation” to see more on the book visit www.inspiringageneration.com
The Rebbe's care for every Jew, compassion for everyone's troubles, and sympathy for another's concern's were legendary. At times, people who experienced the Rebbe's consideration simply did not believe that he could really be so concerned with their petty matters.
Dear Rebbe, do you really feel my pain?

Combining touring with learning, the first ever Rohr Jewish Learning Institute mission to Israel brought more than 300 Jewish adults from 35 communities around the world for a weeklong educational exploration of Israel. Judging from the responses of those who went, the tour, with its emphasis on Torah study, was unlike most others.
