Dedicated in Honor of my Great Grandson, Albert Shamula By Michael Gammal and Family _______________________________________________________ Parashat Shelach It’s All How You Look at it Hashem said, “You shall bear your punishment for forty years, corresponding to the number of days—forty days—that you scouted the land: a year for each day (14:34).” Hashem made Bnei Yisrael wander in the desert for forty years to correspond to the forty days the spies scouted.

Dedicated in Honor of Our New Grandson, Raymond Dayan By the Dayan and Zeitouny Families _______________________________________________________ Parashat Beha'aloteha The Cloud Moves on and So Does Life Rabbi Frand comments on a specific passuk in this parasha. “When the Cloud lingered upon the Mishkan many days, the Children of Israel would maintain the charge of Hashem and would not journey (9:19).” The Torah says that the pattern of the Jewish Nation traveling and campin
Dvar Torah Parashat Nasso
Dedicated in Honor of my New Baby, Sion Palacci By Rabbi Yoseph Palacci _______________________________________________________ Parashat Nasso Gifts to the Kohen This week’s Parashat Nasso happens to be the longest parasha in the Torah, with 176 pesukim. Similarly, the Bavli tractate Baba Batra has 176 pages, and the 119th perek of Tehilim has 176 pesukim as well. The gematria for 176 is leolam—forever. This is a sign that the Torah is forever! The parasha is most notably
Shabbat Shavuot
Dedicated in Honor of Our New Grandson, Sammy Saadia By the Saadia and Zeitouny Families _______________________________________________________ Parashat Shavuot Shavuot is referred to in our prayers as Zman Matan Toratenu—The Time When Our Torah Was Given.

Parashat Emor
Dedicated in Honor of my new Grandson, Moshe Chaim Halabi By Moshe and Sima Mamrout _______________________________________________________ Parashat Emor Chinuch In this week’s parasha, the Torah discusses the Divine service placed upon the kohanim and a particular responsibility to maintain higher standards of holy behavior and purity than the rest of the nation. In the first passuk, the Torah uses a double lashon—redundant language. “Emor el hakohanim Bnei Aharon ve’amart
