¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

When Yaakov blesses his children before his passing, he does so both collectively and individually. The point of course is to stress that Klal Yisroel receives its strength by utilizing their individual potentials as part of the society. The State of Israel is a collection of many different shades of Jews (and a significant Arab minority). Yet whether one is religious or secular the goal of a unified State is of utmost importance. Maintaining that balance has always been a challenge but for the sake of the Jewish people needs to be preserved. Yaakov led the way, let us learn by example.
Good Shabbos,
Rabbi A. M. Abramson

REFUAH SH’LAIMAH:
To all those who are not well as well as those worldwide with this virus. Let Hashem hear our tefillos on their behalves, and all have a speedy recovery. If there is a choleh that needs a misheberach, please email their name to anshemotele@sbcglobal.net .
Since we are not currently making the Mishebarach at Torah readings, in your private shmone esrai, you can include in the “Refaeinu” paragraph a special tefilla for the cholim that you have in mind.
