Rabbi Yair Hoffman - Five Towns Jewish Times

Jews like coffee. The practice of Jews drinking coffee dates back well over a thousand years, since its exportation from the Arab city of Kefa. Its appearance in the responsa oeuvres of the Rishonim and Acharonim attests to the fact that it is a drink of Jews.1 The practice of coffee consumption continues until today with many Jews drinking coffee at that “cool” and “hip” number one coffee chain in America—Starbucks.

KIEV, Ukraine – In Kiev, a wonderful union has taken place that owes its beginning to the Jewish website 'Mazl Tov'. This internet project, which is dedicated to making acquaintances and finding prospective dating partners, was introduced by the Jewish community of Dnepropetrovsk.

In this particular instance, the lucky young couple is Chaim Grinshtein of Zaparozhye and his new wife Miryam from Shostka. Both recently relocated to live in Kiev, where Chaim opened his own company and upon a friend's advice, registered with the 'Mazel Tov' website. Miryam is an artist and student in the 'STARS' youth educational program. She learned about the site at a related seminar in Moscow and signed up in hopes of forming a genuine Jewish family.

Sholom Aleichem. Ever heard a kid cry “I want it to be sunny!” when it is raining or “I want it to be yesterday!” when it is today? A patient caregiver will sit down and try to explain to the child the futility of crying for things that are beyond our control. A not so patient caregiver will simply ignore the wailing till it stops. There are those children whose kvetching has tremendous meaning. Please read on:

In this week's Torah portion, Parshas Vayeiro, we continue the story of our patriarch Avrohom. While recovering from circumcising himself at the age of 99, Avrohom receives a visit from G-d. G-d reveals Himself at a new level of revelation previously not experienced by Avrohom.
