¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

It defies logic that a leader would prefer devastation over greatness, defeat over prosperity. Yet that is what Pharaoh chose when defying the obvious. Rather than allowing the Jewish nation (which ironically had been a major reason for Egyptian dominance as the world power0 the right to worship Hashem he doubled down on oppression. Instead of partnering with the righteous he allowed his evil ego to overcome and confuse what should have been in his and his countryman’s best interest.
Let’s hope that the world leaders today from China to Russia, Iran and North Korea learn these lessons.

The Torah is as relevant today as ever and we must re-read, study and of course pray to Hashem to fulfill all of its prophecies.
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.
