"When Adar begins, we increase and expand joy and happiness" says the Talmud. The Jewish month of Adar is a month of joy and of good luck, a "mazel'dik" month, for the Jewish people.
This month is a time of good luck for our people. The Talmud says one should try to schedule an important court case in Adar for extra good luck. Adar would also be the perfect time to move into a new home, undertake a new endeavor in business or otherwise, or try something new you've been meaning to do but were afraid to take the leap.
Here comes my "shul plug": This Shabbos is Rosh Chodesh Adar, the beginning of this powerful month of joy and good fortune. Is there a better day to be at shul than this? Join us for an inspiring, joyous service followed by a delicious Kiddush lunch (including Lenny Lebovitch's fabulous cholent).
Shabbat Shalom!
Rabbi Shalom M. Paltiel

The Jews trapped behind the Iron Curtain are living in the lowest spiritual circumstances possible. But specifically for this reason they have G‑d's promise for an even greater ascent, far beyond that attainable by Jews living in free lands.

The Age of the Universe
By: Rabbi Aron Moss
Sydney, Australia
How do you reconcile the age of the universe according to science with the Torah account? According to the Torah we are in the year 5771 from creation. Yet science claims the world is around 16 billion years old. A bit of a discrepancy, wouldn't you say?

One World
People might tell you, "When you come to work, leave your spirituality at home. Don't bother us with your peculiar lifestyle, your ethics, search for meaning . . . That's all nice, but this is business. This is the real world."
There is only one real world, and it belongs to one real G‑d

Parshat Terumah
The people of Israel are called upon to contribute fifteen materials — gold, silver and copper; blue, purple and red-dyed wool; flax, goat hair, animal skins, wood, olive oil, spices and gems — out of which, G‑d says to Moses, "They shall make for Me a Sanctuary, and I shall dwell amidst them."
On the summit of Mount Sinai, Moses is given detailed instructions on how to construct this dwelling for G‑d so that it could be readily dismantled, transported and reassembled as the people journeyed in the desert.
In the Sanctuary's inner chamber, behind an artistically woven curtain, was the Ark containing the Tablets of Testimony engraved with the Ten Commandments; on the Ark's cover stood two winged cherubim hammered out of pure gold. In the outer chamber stood the seven-branched Menorah and the Table upon which the " showbread" was arranged.
The Sanctuary's three walls were fitted together from 48 upright wooden boards, each of which was overlaid with gold and held up by a pair of silver foundation sockets. The roof was formed of three layers of coverings: (a) tapestries of multi-colored wool and linen; (b) a covering made of goat-hair; (c) a covering of ram and tachash skins. Across the front of the Sanctuary was an embroidered screen held up by five posts.
Surrounding the Sanctuary and the copper-plated Altar which fronted it was an enclosure of linen hangings, supported by 60 wooden posts with silver hooks and trimmings and reinforced by copper stakes. |
