BY: FERN SIDMAN

An outpost of the free world values in tough neighborhood, where there is no mercy for the weak. no second opportunity for those who cannot defend themselves. Thus, we must remain strong," declared Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, as he delivered the keynote address at the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces 30th annual gala dinner…

PASSOVER THE ORIGINAL EXTREME PERSONALITY MAKEOVER
The Second Rebbe of Ger, The Sefat Emmet ZT’L ZY’A explains why the festive meal observed the First night of Passover (First Two nights outside of Israel) is called Seder, Order. Evidently, when the historic event of the Exodus took place Bene Yisrael were not really deserving of redemption. Indeed objectively there was no real basis to justify the Exodus. Therefore, through Jewry’s fidelity to observe the Seder ceremony year in and year out displays faithfulness to G-D which in turn bears… Continue

ALLEGANCE TO THE KING!!!!!
Reading the Megila one comes away believing Haman is the story’s absolute villain and Achashveyrosh is an easily manipulated buffoon. While it is clear Haman had an agenda to annihilate the Jews (Esther 3:6) Achashveyrosh was no innocent.
The Megila opens with a detailed description of Achashveyrosh’s bacchanal ostensibly celebrating the consolidating his empire (see Talmud Megila 11b). Yet that is not quite the full story. The Throne Achashveyrosh ascended (Esther 1:2) was replica… Continue

LEADERSHIP LESSONS
Among the sacrifices described in Parshat VaYikrah is the Sin Offering brought by a Sovereign (VaYikra 4:22). Rashi ZT’L ZY’A cites the Talmud Horiyoth 10b that declares happy is the generation whose leaders acknowledge their inadvertent sins. The further implication is if mistakes are acknowledged all more so are actual sinful acts. The interpretation is based on scripture using the word Asher, when which alludes to the word Asheri, rejoice.

Alleviating Hardships
Rabbi Arush in the book 'The Garden of Emunah' gives some good advice to alleviate hardships. Here's a general message from different parts of the book.
His message is that in life, different situations are annoying, worrisome, sad or painful. But we should understand that it is Hashem(G-d) who gives us these situations. Why does He? We don't know. Since we don't see the big picture, we don't totally understand. That's where emunah(faith) comes in and says, even though I don't… Continue

UNITED WE STAND STRONG IN THE GATHERING STORM
Shemoth 38:21 begins “These are the accountings of the Tabernacle, [the] Tabernacle of testimony . . . .” Rabbi Nathan of Breslov ZT’L ZXY’A understands the text’s repetition teaches that the Tabernacle shields and protects the Jewish people both when it is assembled as well as when the Tabernacle is broken down to its parts. So that both when Bene Yisrael were encamped and when they were in transit the Tabernacle protected them (Rabbi Ye3hudah Chaim Cohen ZT’L ZY‘A in Yehudah Ya’Aleh –… Continue
