We are Shluchim of the Rebbe and live in woop woop land, and there is no chinuch for our kids here. Levi loved every day of Yeshiva, and we were very proud to receive awesome reports from the Hanhala, throughout the year.

These years as we know are the forming years of a child’s growth in yiddishkeit, they make it in the right environment, or break it, c”v.

Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL

Legend has it that the late Albert Einstein, having just completed a paper and in need of a clasp, spent a considerable amount of time trying to straighten-out a clip that was twisted and unusable. While struggling with the dysfunctional object, his assistant discovered a new box of perfect clips. Einstein took one of the new paper clips reshaped it and used it as an instrument to repair the old bent one.

2. The Rebbe now contrasts the donations given in this week’s Torah portion with the Ma’cha’tzis Ha’sheh’kel (half of a coin called a “Shekel”) that the Jewish people gave to the Mishkan earlier in last week’s Torah portion:
