מסיבת שבת

המדרש רבה אומר לנו שאנחנו חייבים לאכול מאכלים טעימים בשבת. למעשה, אני חושב שרובנו כבר מודעים למצווה של "עונג שבת". אך מדוע ביום רוחני שכזה אנו אמורים להיות מעורבים בדברים שנראים גשמיים כאלה? הבעל שם טוב מסביר זאת עם משל: היה מלך עשיר שהכשיר את בנו האהוב לתפקיד מנהיגות. כחלק מ"הכשרה" זו, הוא שלח את [...]

In 2013 I took on the chairmanship of Beis Medrash Ahavas Shalom, and I am very proud of how our kehilla has grown during these past few years. I have documented this growth [...]

Protected In the Sukkah

From the Desk of the Chairman We are about to enter our Sukkos, our annual reminder that Hashem runs the world and protects us 24/7. We experience this protection first-hand in our flimsy Sukkos, and then bring that thought back with us into our reinforced concrete homes. Some people in the Holy Land recently declared [...]

Beautifully Accepting what Hashem Sends

The Ultimate Source

Our world is being turned upside down. Regardless of what “side” you are on (e.g. masks, no masks, lockdowns, no lockdowns, etc.), one thing is certain: Hashem is directing this and it is for a reason and the ultimate purpose of this is directly related to the Jews.
