Blum’s Party Goods – Looking for the Perfect Mishloach Manos for Your Teacher?
Rabbi Meir Schuster, z”l
(The Yeshiva World)
It is with great sadness that we report the passing of a most remarkable figure in modern Jewish history, Rabbi Meir Schuster zt”l, who was a legend in his time, a man who was a constant, iconic presence at the Kosel for almost forty years, a man who personally and dramatically impacted thousands and thousands of Jewish lives, a man who single-handedly introduced more Jews to Judaism, quite possibly, than anyone else in Jewish history.
Meir Tzvi Schuster was born on January 22, 1943 to Morris and Mary, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Typical of the Jewish experience at the time, young Meir attended public school. At the age of eleven, his parents enrolled him in Rabbi Dr. Abraham J. Twerski’s afternoon Hebrew School. Rabbi Twerski took a personal interest in helping Meir catch up to the other students and the two formed a close bond.

In My Humble Opinion – Mrs. Sara Brejt – Use of Derogatory Terms for Others
(LocalJewishNews is pleased to announce the return of Mrs. Sara Brejt’s advice column to our web site. Look for more issues to come.)
I hate the term “shvartze.” Unfortunately many of my children’s friends and teachers use this term and do not see anything wrong with it. When I tell them it’s not a nice word to use, they answer, “But my Morah says it!” How can I answer them without lowering their respect for their Morah?
Dear Concerned Parent,
Wow, what a challenge!
