  May 31, 2022 | א׳ בְּסִיוָן תשפ״ב A Holy Flame Burns Kabolas Hatorah  (Receiving the Torah) was not a one time thing (it just happened once at  Har Sinai ), but it’s something that takes place every day. A girl marches into a synagogue, takes a seat in the ladies’ section, opens up a  siddur  (prayer book) and reads the English — the first time in her life she’s in a synagogue. She walks in with a little flame, a holy flame burning in her heart and now she’s  mekabel  (accepting) the Torah. Whatever her Torah is, is still pretty small, but she’s mekabel her Torah. — Receiving the Torah 2 #508 ​ A unique double mitzvah.  Donations to Simchas Hachaim Publishing spread Torah  twice:  once as we publish new books and sfarim, and a second time when the proceeds from book sales benefit Rabbi Miller's yeshiva.  Select a book to sponsor  or call 845-275-3725 x700 to discuss a major sponsorship.

    All credit goes to Simchas Hachaim Publishing May 26, 2022 | כ״ה בְּאִיָיר תשפ״ב What Benefit Is There in Misfortune? Misfortune (and sometimes good fortune) is sent by Hashem in order to stir men to be mindful of Him. Either a man reminds himself constantly about Hashem, or else Hashem reminds him, usually by misfortune. Even a Torah scholar and a meticulously observant Jew, if he forgets Hashem and lives solely by habit, be it even pious habit, may need reminders that Hashem is present. — Awake, My Glory

  | FAMILY FIRST FEATURE | WHAT’S MINE AND YOURS IS HERS By  Riki Goldstein   | APRIL 21, 2015  ALL CREDIT GOES TO  Riki Goldstein  and the Mishpacha  Email Print If he sees that  you  are upset about the loss to your husband’s learning, he’ll reconsider H is mission was her mission. Rav Tzvi Kushelevsky, a towering  talmid chacham , held many prestigious positions spreading Torah across Europe and Israel — each one requiring yet another move to a new place. And his loyal  rebbetzin , Sarah Leah (Toki) Kushelevsky, gladly trekked to each new locale along with him. If he was where he was needed, that was her place too, and she was happy to be there. The self-sacrifice of the Rebbetzin for her husband and his Torah was such that when her husband’s yeshivah Heichal HaTorah needed funds to complete its building, she sold the apartment they owned in Har Nof to finance it and moved into a rental apartment. For the Rebbetzin, a home f...

  PHOTOS: Agudath Israel of America Convention Commences with Pertinent Conversations and Historic Public Input Lezecher Nishmas Rabbi Zecharia Wallerstein Zt"l November 15, 2014 6:46 pm 5 Share on Facebook   Tweet on Twitter     [PHOTOS IN EXTENDED ARTICLE] From the moment the doors opened to the public late Thursday afternoon, the halls of the Hilton Woodcliff Lake hotel were abuzz with energy. This was the 92nd National Convention of Agudath Israel of America and everyone felt as if the convention was “for them,” tackling their concerns and working to improve their lives. Thousands of attendees from across the tri-state area – and beyond – traveled in the misty weather in order to participate. A busload of members of the Baltimore community traveled in for the occasion, while a long list of communities across the country followed the sessions via live hookup. Walking through the halls, and peering into the rooms, you could see attendees of a colorful array of back...
