Being Simple?

By Rabbi Shimon Posner, emissary of the Rebbe to Rancho MIrage, CA; Artwork by Sarah Kranz.

Simple is straightforward. This is what needs to be done and this is how we do it. “Put up and shut up, or get out of the way.” It’s easier and more convenient to get lost in a committee that appreciates the complexity.

The Baal Shem Tov liked simplicity. Simple folk who simply liked G‑d, although they were clueless in all matters of faith and religion and theology. They liked G‑d like a baby likes his father.

In the Month of Elul,the Mouth Should Never be Empty!

Adapted and supplemented by Yerachmiel Tilles from "Torah Wellsprings" - Rav Elimelech Biderman,as translated by R' Baruch Twersky. Taken from Ascentofsafed.com

Someone once visited Reb Yosef-Shmuel Fogel (1911-1986) in an old-age home in Jerusalem. Reb Yosef Shmuel was saying Tehillim (Psalms) aloud then, and he didn't interrupt when his visitor arrived.

As soon as Yosef Shmuel finished reciting Tehillim, he said, "I will tell you why I didn't interrupt my Tehillim when you arrived. As a bachur (yeshiva student), I studied in the yeshiva of the tzadik, the Damesek Eliezer of Vizhnitz. There wasn't much to eat in the yeshiva.

More Refuge Cities When Moshiach Comes?

Adapted by Chaim Miller; From the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe; Art by Sefira Lightstone

When G‑d, your G‑d, will expand your borders, as He swore to your forefathers, and He gives you the entire land which He told your forefathers He would give, as a result of your safeguarding and observing all these commandments which I am commanding you today—to love G‑d, your G‑d, and to walk in His ways for all time: You should add for yourself three more cities, in addition to these three, so that innocent blood will not be shed within your land which G‑d, your G‑d, is giving you for an inheritance, and you will be responsible for his blood.

-- Devarim 19:8-10

Peanut Butter Noodles

They are a real treat, for children big and small. Strictly for peanut butter lovers. Sorry no substitutions for the PB:

You need it!

They are served cold, so they often appear at picnics and buffet displays. I used to make oodles of these noodles in my catering years.

90 year old Ethel Horowitz was bothering the waiter in her favorite restaurant in Miami. First, she asked that the air conditioning be turned up because he was too hot, then she asked it be turned down cause she was too cold, and so on for about half an hour. Surprisingly, the waiter was very patient, he walked back and forth and never once got angry. So finally, a second customer asked him why he didn't throw Mrs. Horowitz out.

"Oh, I really don't care or mind," said the waiter with a smile. "We don't even have an air conditioner."
