HOME & FAMILY Perfection When the echoes of the joyous singing faded into silence and the dozens of flower bouquets and arrangements were distributed in suitable niches all around the house and Rivky finally began to seriously think about the awesome days looming up in her near future, she was suddenly beset by an original idea... LETTERS During the week of Chol Hamoed, I went with my grand daughter to visit the Tourgeman Post Museum at 4 Rechov Chail Hahandasah near Botei Ungarin. This is situated where the Mandelbaum Gate stood before the state of Israel was established and should be a place of historic interest. It is listed in "Eretz Avoseinu," a tour guide for the religious Jewish visitor to Israel, and this place is recommended for children.
Kovod HaTorah by Tzvia Ehrlich-Klein, Jerusalem We train our little children to kiss Torah scrolls because we want
to imbue them with respect for Torah. Because we really care about
kovod haTorah and conveying it to our children.
That's why I wonder why so many families allow their children to run
around and talk during Shabbos Kiddush and when there is divrei
Torah being discussed at the Shabbos table. Aren't they afraid
that the children will think that kovod haTorah only refers
to falling books and elderly rabbis?
We learn from Parashas Lech Lecha how important it is to be
specific in one's speech in order to avoid misunderstandings. At the
beginning, Hashem commands Avrohom to leave his country, birthplace
and his father's house and head for a country which Hashem would show
him.
Plastic Once, many long years ago (about five, actually), I owned a few precious
plastic containers with good snap-on lids. These had been bought at
great expense and difficulty at evening house sales. They were, preferably,
imported from the United States or England. Whenever I sent some food
to a simcha or an ailing friend, the container was labeled
with my telephone number so as not to confuse it with a contribution
from my daughter-in-law or anyone with a similar name.
It's always surprising to hear that your neighbors have just
been broken into. They had nothing worth taking. Who would
ever steal from them? However, crimes such as burglary and
theft are on the rise. What can be done to stop a thief?
Detecting Heart Disease through CAT Scans
According to a report in Ma'ariv, simple examinations
with CAT-scans can warn in advance of heart disease or
possible heart attacks through a new computer program
developed by physicians at the Sheba Medical Center at Tel
Hashomer with the help of technicians of the Picker Co.
(formerly Elscint).
