Be a Mentch because G-d said so!


The Torah portion this weeks begins with "And these are the laws that you shall place in front of them" in Hebrew the letter Vov written at the beginning of a word indicates that it's a continuation to what was previously said. The portion begins with a Vov to indicate that even these civil laws mentioned in this weeks Parsha have the same strength and value as the commandments which were given at mount Sinai. The lesson: We act  moraly and follow civil laws not only because thats the right thing to do, but because G-d commanded us to do so.

Check out the Cleveland artist being hailed as the daVinci of this, the digital age, Marc Breed. Creator of the psychedelic peace symbol, male exotic dance pioneer, filmmaker to two of the highest grossing adult films of all-time, civil and first amendment rights advocate, and if that weren't enough, he readily admits to having escaped from one of America's most secure prisons (his golem remains in the prisons archive).And to boot, he has a testedI.Q. Of 152. And most amazingly, a former Satmir Hassid.
