The division of the Torah into five books is neither random nor simply intended to make a long text more user-friendly. Each of the Five Books of Moses has its own unique theme. Nachmanides explains that the theme of the Book of Leviticus, which we begin reading this Shabbat, is mitzvot. While a good amount of commandments are also imparted in the other four books, they are mentioned there incidentally, in the course of conveying the events or messages which are the primary message of those books.

A Tailor in a Stitch: A Rebbe Rashab Story
|
This story is presented in honor of the Rabbi Sholom Ber - the Rebbe Rashab's 100th yahrtzeit - today, 2 Nissan
The village tailor of Lubavitch had sewn a dress for Rebbetzin Rivkah Schneersohn, wife of Rabbi Shmuel of Lubavitch. The Rebbe’s young child, Sholom Ber, was present when the tailor brought the new garment to his mother. Displaying a child’s natural curiosity, the four-year-old reached into the visitor’s pocket and pulled out a sizable bolt of cloth – the remains of the Rebbetzin’s dress.

I love to use soba noodles for this Vegan pasta with Swiss chard and Shitaki.
My powerhouse pasta main course!
Soba noodles are delightful, low in gluten and high in flavor. They pack in lots of flavor and nutrition, are delicious and a snap to prepare, a most welcome change from the same old same old pasta. My Pasta with Swiss chard is overlaid with Asian flavors; the lineup of flavors is fabulous, with the Swiss chard, shitaki, ginger and seaweed. Do try your best to get the seaweed, it imparts a funky briny flavor to the dish.

Beware of the Dog!
Special thanks to Bernie Rappaport for this week's (supposedly) Jewish Joke
|
*Upon entering a little country store, a stranger noticed a warning sign that read: Danger! Beware of dog! posted on the door.
Inside, he noticed a harmless little dog asleep on the floor beside the cash register. "Is that the dog folks are supposed to beware of?” he asked the owner.
"Yep, that’s him," came the reply.
The stranger couldn’t help but be amused.
"That certainly doesn’t look like a dangerous dog to me. Why in the world would you post that sign?”
“Because," the owner explained, "Before I posted that sign, people kept tripping over him."
