Just a reminder - It is kdai for to zugg the teffilas HaShelah erev Rosh Chodesh Sivan, but because this year Erev Rosh Chodesh is Shabbos the teffilah and the other tikkunei erev Rosh Chodesh should be done before SHABBOS (i.e. Thursday and/or Erev Shabbos Kodesh).

The teffilah focuses on der kinderlach as you will realize...

May Hashem grant us the opportunity to be successful in raising sons and daughters with Torah and Ahavas Yisrael b'Eretz Yisrael, and may the children of Yishuv Adar grow up to be ohavei Hashem and yirai Elokim who devote their lives to the will of the Lord.

Berditchev on my mind

-Shalom uVracha Friends and Stollel Brethren-

I hope and trust that all are doing well and that the kedushat haSHABBOS is still with you. Just "posting" to wish you and the rest of the nation haztlacha on finals (bein bruchnius bein bgashmius). As the zman comes to a close I bless you and me that we be successful in our efforts of being marbeh kvod shamayim together. As we know, Amalek attacks only when we leave mitzrayim, so I bless us that as we finish finals we are then able to add focus to our teffilot and effort to our sedarim in order that we may then enter the Land of Eretz Yisrael mitoch simcha as one!

A family member of mine has a brain tumor and desperately needs a refuah shleima. His name is:
Chaim Fischel ben Fayga.

I am trying to get Sefer Tehillim said every day over the course of the next month or so for his merit. If any of you can commit to saying Tehillim for him each day through Shavuot, please click the link below and put your name on the list next to the chapter(s) you can say.

Thank you and yasher koach,

Shushan Purim and Beyond (Part 2)

We stayed by Rav Machlis, learning Hilkhot Pesah for a while.

After various berahot and niggunim from the local rebbes we headed back to Sabari where he awaited to take us back to Bet Shemesh.

~

'Sabari, we want to go to the old city. We want to see Chaim Dovid.'

'No, no, no, the traffic is backed up. It will take at least an hour to get there.'

The Rebbe pointed out that from the fact that Sabari was being such a kelipa and trying to prevent us from ascending the Temple Mount to the home of Chaim Dovid, showed us just how important it was for us to go.

We convinced Sabari that he had to take us and it took us no less then 7 minutes to be inside the old city. We wandered the streets, making our way down Yerushalayim's small paths and alleyways to reach Chaim Dovid.

We got there, we stayed there for a while, we classicly davened ma'ariv overlooking Har Habayis. The rest of the story is good too but it is not meant for words and not really meant for the internet. It was there, at Chaim Dovid's, where Purim "ended" that night.

~

We had learned a lot throughout the past two days. We had experienced and seen so many different emotions and zones.

From the post megillah tish to the exploding chagiga, from Moshe Marcus to Moshe Levy, from goat-stealing-Na-Nachers to nose stealing J-Dillers, from the Amshinover to the elevator, and from Rav Machlis's to Chaim Dovids's.

They say that it used to be that the year began in Nissan, then they said the year began by Purim, but now...
