A Letter From Your Yatzer Harah

Leave a Comment

letter(Author unknown)

To my star pupil,

I am writing this letter to let you know what I think of you. Up here in heaven things are not like they are down on Earth. Over there, people only know what they can see. If they see a person is “successful”, they think that he is the greatest guy. When they see somebody struggling, they think he might be one of the weaker elements.

LJN Community Calendar

3 Comments

calendarWe are very pleased to announce the debut of the LJN Community Calendar. For a long while, schools and organizations have been asking for an Orthodox community-wide calendar to keep track of events and reduce the amount of double-scheduling.

There is now a page known as Community Calendar (link is at the top of the main page) which will  list all events posted to LocalJewishNews as well as all events that are submitted . Events posted to LJN will automatically be added to the calendar, but if something is missing please let us know. Our contact is:  Calendar@LocalJewishNews.com. Also, at the request of the family, simchos (bar-mitzvah, wedding) can be added too. Community members who prefer to not use email can continue to share events with Mrs. Drazin who will in-turn share these to be posted to the web calendar.

So, next time you are running a school function, community event, or lecture, or even a simcha, email  details to Calendar@LocalJewishNews.com to be added to this calendar for no charge. Sorry not available for purely business events or sales.  Give us a try and let us know what you think!!

Leave a Comment

By Rabbi Yirmiyohu Kaganoff (RabbiKaganoff.com)

Question #1:

“Recently I saw an advertisement saying that it was pidyon shevuyim to save a child from being raised non-Jewish. But I thought pidyon shevuyim is to free a captive, and these children are with their non-Jewish father.”

 Question #2:

“Is there a mitzvah of pidyon shevuyim when someone was captured because he was doing something irresponsible or illegal?”

When You Kick A Student Out, Where Do You Think He Will Go?

4 Comments

deskBy Rabbi Eliyahu Safran (originally shared at TheYeshivaWorld.com)

Walking into Bnos Yisroel in Baltimore, one sees a sign that reads, “Teaching Students, not Subjects.” When the Baltimore Jewish Times reported on the school, they found that the school did much more than simply pay lip service to a sentiment many educators would be quick to say they support. Rabbi Amster noted that at Bnos, that sense “permeates everything that we do…”

There are those who might argue that such a “soft” sentiment is fine for a girls yeshiva, but for boys? For boys, one needs a stronger hand.
