Monkey Business by Diana Levine

March 19, 2019April 1, 2019 ~ jenincolor ~ Leave a comment

We were all excited! Driving down to Ft. Lauderdale early in the morning, anticipating our cruise was making us all punchy! We pulled into the parking lot and were directed to a spot towards the back, when we saw them. Monkeys! Two adult monkeys and a baby were sitting there looking at us. At this … Continue reading Monkey Business by Diana Levine

L’David by Roni Bernstein

August 15, 2018 ~ jenincolor ~ Leave a comment

Elul, the month before Tishrei, is known as the month of preparation. Our season of introspection/preparation begins after Shavuot, continues through the Three Weeks, and concludes on Yom Kippur. During Elul our preparations intensify; reading Tehillim (Psalm) 27 (l’David) is part of our daily life from Rosh Ḥodesh Elul to Shmini Atzeret. There is much … Continue reading L’David by Roni Bernstein

We are commanded to rid our homes of ḥametz for Pesaḥ. Somewhere during the physical activity of searching, gathering, and burning the ḥametz in our homes, we are drawn to inspect our own lives to find the ḥametz within. But what exactly would be our “ḥametz?” Many of us have heard teachings which equate ḥametz … Continue reading Chametz by Roni Bernstein

Hiddur Mitzvah

March 7, 2018March 7, 2018 ~ jenincolor ~ 1 Comment

Have you heard the term "hiddur mitzvah"?  It means Beautify or Enhance the Mitzvah - we should go above and beyond as we seek to fulfill a commandment of G-d.  That is why we have such gorgeous objects in our synagogues and homes that we use to fulfill G-d's commandments surrounding our observance.  The sages' … Continue reading Hiddur Mitzvah
