"Financial
Problem When Turning 90"
Until his
death in 1969, Rabbi Yosef-Shlomo Kaheneman, would annually visit Miami
Beach, Florida, to raise funds for his Yeshiva in Israel. As his love
for every single Jew was apparent at all times, the wealthy donors looked
forward to his visits in their homes
Why This
Week? The Torah reading offers insights into problems of aging: teenage,
mid-life and elderly.

"Choose,
Table or Shelf"
Rebbe Moshe-Mordechai
of Lelov signaled to the unknown surprise visitor to approach him,
then whispered something in the man's ear. The man turned away and rushed
outside.
Why This Week?
Candlelighting as a mitzvah is not mentioned anywhere in the written Torah.
There is, however, a hint to it near the end of this week's Torah reading
(Gen. 24:67 + Rashi from the Midrash).
