"How to
Elevate the Heavens"
The Kotzker Rebbe
craved followers who were interested not only in themselves and their
families, but chasidim who would strive for a life of meaning and fulfillment
through the practice of Jewish ethical teachings and delving into the
innermost layers of the Jewish scholarly tradition.
Why this week?
The weekly Torah reading, Yitro, features the Ten Commandments, of which
the fourth is "Honor your father and mother."
[This story is also good for next week, for Sh'vat 22 is
the yahrzeit of the Kotsker.]

"The Eavesdropper
in the Rebbe's Room"
The man pointed out
that there was one more question in the letter. "I am not blind,"
the Rebbe replied. When the man tried again, the Rebbe said, "I am
not deaf." When he persisted, the Rebbe signaled that the meeting
had ended.
Why this week? This
Shabbat, tenth day of the Jewish month of Sh'vat, is the 75th yahrzeit
of the Rebbe Rayatz.

"The Half
Million Shekel Deal with a Mosque"
His rabbi said, "I
don't know but I can get an answer from Rabbi Michil- Yehuda Lefkowitz.

Why This Week: The basic principles for most of Torah financial
law is to be found in this week's Torah reading, Mishpatim.
