Journeys
By Rabbi Zalman Posner, the Rebbe's emissary to Nashville, TN
"Journeys," the name of the last Torah reading in the Book of Numbers, could well be the title of our people's history. Wandering through wilderness or civilizations, voluntarily or by expulsion, is part of the biography of virtually every Jew alive today, or of his parents or grandparents. From where do a people derive the stamina of spirit to survive these endless, often tragic, wanderings? Continue

Three Horses After Three Days
One of the principal French military chieftains of the First Crusade [1095-1100], the famous duke of Lower Lotharingia (Lorraine), Godfrey of Bouillon, heard rumors of the knowledge and wisdom of the rabbi of Troyes (about 25 miles from Paris), that even the gentiles sought his advice on monetary matters and marital law, and he used to reply in such an erudite manner that they would record his judgments in his name in the public record in Paris. This fabulous wise man was Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki
, immortalized by the initials of his name as Rashi.
In 1096, the duke summoned Rashi to his presence to consult with him about his mission of seizing Jerusalem from the "Ishmaelites," but Rashi refused to appear. Annoyed, Godfrey went to the rabbi's school,* accompanied by a number of his cavaliers. He found the gates all opened and the books upon the desks open, but the great building empty of people. Through the invocation of a holy Name, Rashi had made himself invisible, while he himself could still see everything.

| Anticipating the Redemption |
| Eternal Life
Based on Ohr HaTorah from the Tzemach Tzedek and Yalkut Moshiach uGeulah al HaTorah. Taken from L'chaim Weekly #1380.
Some Sages, including Maimonides, maintain that the era of Resurrection will eventually give way to an eternal era of spiritual reward for the soul, at which point it will be necessary to forever shed our bodies. Other Sages, including Nachmonides, insist that the eternal era of reward will be experienced in the physical world, in bodies, following the resurrection. Rabbi Shneur Zalman constantly and exclusively quotes the view of Nachmonides that the ultimate reward is post- and experienced in physical eternal life.

Artichoke Tajine with Fennel, Olive and Tomatoes
To read about Levana's books and recipes, please visit
Artichoke Tajine is wonderful not only in summer but indeed year-round, as the frozen artichoke bottoms or hearts are easy to find anytime. Artichokes: A great Sephardi favorite, we grew up in Morocco eating them in every shape and form, even for dessert. Someone in the food industry, bless him, has done all the pesky job of snapping the leaves off the artichokes, and the even peskier job of scraping the fuzz off the artichoke bottoms, leaving us only with exactly what we want (perfect artichoke bottoms or baby artichoke hearts) in order to sail through the preparation of quite a few artichoke-based treats. There's nothing I don't do with them: Soups, tajines, Hummus, risottos, side dishes, stuffed, salads, pickles, pastas, dips! My latest artichoke addition, this delightful artichoke tajine, will round out my extensive artichoke repertoire. Continue for recipe

The Jewish Joke

French Naval Victories
Thanks to Bernie Rappaport for this week's Jewish Joke.
A Frenchman walks into a library and asks for a book on great French naval victories.
The librarian replies "Yes sir, the whole of the floor above us is devoted to the subject."
"You're joking" said the Frenchman.
"Well you started it" said the librarian.
