Coralie Pryde has made six trips in 10 months to the New Castle County Land Use Department to see what she believes are public records about a building project in the 1800 block of Silverside Road in Talleyville.
Pryde opposes the project because she says the proposed Chabad Lubavitch Enrichment Center is too big for the land it will sit on, does not have adequate parking, will disrupt traffic and infringes on the border of a stream that occasionally floods the neighborhood.

Bochurim on a flight headed to Chicago for the Annual Kinnus Hatmimim Hashluchim, merited a Jewish pilot in the mitzvah of laying Tefillin for the first time, in the cockpit of the plane. The pilot never had a bar mitzvah and had never put on Tefillin. When the Bochurim were getting off the plane the pilot who was seeing off all the passenger gave them a ‘different’ greeting, he said to them ‘Zie Gezunt’ (in Yiddish, Be Well) so they asked, sir are you Jewish…!

Rabbi Y.Y. Jacobson Delivers Pilpul In Honor Of His Father A”H
Click Here to listen to an audio recording of the Shiur! (First few minutes missing)
Chovevei Torah Zal – Thursday evening at the onset of Night Seder Rabbi K. Weinfeld announced the shiur being delivered by the yeshivas’mashpia R’ Y. Y. Jacobson. The shiur which was dedicated to the late R’ Jacobson A”H, whos’ first yartzeit was Thursday, was attended by the entire beis medrash, as well as bochurim from other yeshivos and 770, and lasted approximately one and a half hours.

He then went on to explain the Gemora in Berochos 27a, regarding the story of the Nassi R’ Gamliel and R’ Yehoshua Ben Levi. After which came the mystical meanings behind the different aspects of the story, and the seeming argument between the Yerushalmi and Bavli Gemoras. Which brought us all back around to the explanation of why during the era of the first Beis Hamikdash both Shmita & Yovel were observed, whereas during the era of the second Beis Hamikdash only Shmita was observed and Yovel was counted just to keep track of the proper calendar for Shmita, and finally during the eras of between the two Botei Mikdoshim and after the second Beis Hamikdash only Shmita was observed and Yovel was entirely disregarded, even just to keep track of the 50th year for the Shmita calendar.

This week's double section begins with a disappointment and ends with a curse.
It begins with a powerful introduction: “G-d spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai saying the following” and then goes on to explain only ONE commandment called Shmita (farmers in Israel must not work the land on the seventh year). Shmita is only relevant to farmers in Israel once every seven years.
Then, near the end of the second section, the Torah lists forty-nine depressing curses awaiting Jews who don't keep the Torah (and later in Deuteronomy 28:15-69, the Torah lists 98 more!).
