One of our lovely members Haim Naggar spoke to the congregation about his experiences in the Yom Kippur war. He was commanded to drive tanks and army trucks on the Jordanian border up to the golan heights, and then to turn around and make a circle, in order to make the enemy think that the IDF is bringing up north much ammunition and soldiers, this actually helped them out in the war.

The advantage of the flood

In this weeks Torah portion Noach we read about Noah's flood. The spiritual flood symbolizes the persons materiel1 distractions, distractions of making a living, childrens education etc. On may ask: why does G-d cause me to have such worries and distractions? I mean if G-d wants us to serve him properly why does he place these challenges in front of us? the answer: G-d wants us to appreciate Yiddishkeit, that is done when we serve him through challenges. This is the meaning of the verse in song of songs: "great waters cannot extinguish the love". the many waters of wordly worries cannot extinguish a Jews yearn and desire to become close to G-d by performing his Mitzvos. Shabbat Shalom!
