Where can you go for age-old ancient values transmitted via the most cutting-edge technology?

If you guessed some live Torah streaming-video website or a PDA loaded with the entire Tanach, Shas, Rambam and Shulchan Aruch, you're not that far off. Among the many Frum adaptations to the Information Age is what is perhaps the first school of its kind – the Shluchim Online School, presented by the Chinuch Yaldei Hashluchim division of The Shluchim Office.

Sholom Aleichem. Serving a master is a part of life. For some the master is the pursuit of wealth while for others it could be intellectual satisfaction. Ideally, one recognizes the Master of the World and serves only Him. Serve this or serve that, but serve one must.

Being a servant has various formats. One can be a simple servant who performs his/her duties out of absolute obedience or one can be a devoted servant who serves happily due to the realization of the great lofty status of the master. In Chassidic philosophy this matter is discussed at great length. By understanding the master/servant relationship we will be able to utilize that understanding in our serving the Master of the World.
