True Understanding - Metzora
My little cousin was asked to bring diapers and he ended up bringing his younger brothers diaper. He was then shown to where it says size three, while he needs size five. A minute later he came back with five diapers. Upon hearing this story as most people I got a kick out of it but if you go closer you soon realize every creature has a body and just that is a miracle he also has a brain. Hashem makes nisim for a reason. We are fast approaching pesach and we have to realize

There was a story I read in a book by r"krohn shlita.

One step at a time - Vayikra
When my little brother was taking his first steps every single one was a hard achievement, but with time he got better and can now walk normally. When a toddler starts walking, he is taking steps that will stay with him for the rest of his life. The same is true with the Jewish people and the journey which we are following from Mitzrayim to Eretz Yisrael. In this weeks parsha we enter the third book of Chumash. We are part of a nation that has had many great things happen lik

We are all unique - Pekudei
About four years ago, I competed in a camp talent show. There were many acts who practiced for months in order to be there. My talent was balancing a can of beans on my head while rollerblading around the room. When doing something that I was good at, it made me feel great to know that the world could see my true abilities. In this week's parsha, the Rebbe writes that every single person has a unique talent. Furthermore the Rebbe urged each and every person who has a talent t

Building the Mishkan in my backyard - Vayakhel
This week I was helping my little brother build his toy house in the backyard. Over the years this house went up and down weekly because we always wanted to reposition it. One of the times I moved it I remember thinking "this is a pain", why do I keep doing this? In this weeks parsha, we are on a journey through the desert with the Mishkan (tabernacle). The yidden would travel and in each place, rebuild the Mishkan. When it was time to travel again they would pack up and leav

The Power of One Holy Neshama! - Ki Sisa
This past sukkos, my friend and I took the train to New York City in order to shake Lulav and Esrog with people there. As the sun was setting, we took the train back home. When we got off the train it was almost dark so we went in the opposite direction of our house. When we realized and turned around, someone near us screamed "hey you guys come here!" Unsure why we were summoned, we went over to see what was happening. As we got closer the person explained that it is almost
