Re: Fruit and vegetables suitable for shmita
The main problem with shmitta vegetables starts around Chanucha. Fruits after Pesach.?
-------- ????? ?????? -------- ???: Shoshanah <shoshanah.s@...> ?????: 10.9.2021 12:01 (GMT+02:00) ????: [Nachlaotcommunity] Fruit and vegetables suitable for shmita

Someone mentioned there is an organisation or service that has fruit and vegetables suitable for shmita and delivers. Do you know anything about this? If so, I am interested to hear more details and contact information.
The store near us does not have mehadrin standard and uses a system we don't hold by. We are not traveling due to Covid what options are available

Re: UPDATE Re: Please help family for Chagim
Hi Larissa,
Erev Shabbat Shalom.? I am interested to see the?documentation on the father's medical tests. I cannot add to the donation at this point but I will be a more effective advocate to others if I know what I am talking about.
Gmar chatima tova, Hana
Shalom and Shana Tova.
Since
my previous posting below, the father received very bad news
last week about his health. He is now being sent to the "Nuclear Medicine
Department" in Hadassah Hospital for treatment. He is suffering very
much. Kindly help him and his son and pray for the health of Ephraim
Fishel ben Tsirel. Details on how to donate are below.
I
can supply documentation on his medical tests and also send letters
from Rabbis Berel Wein and Zvi Schwartz about this poor family
Thank you.......Gmar Chatima Tova
Shalom :) Shavua Tov to all.
I have been trying to get the word out about a father and son in Jerusalem we have been trying to help.
I can send letters from Rabbis
Berel Wein and Zvi Schwartz about the family, and both are happy to
speak on the phone about this terrible situation. Please contact me for
details.
The
group moderators ask me to keep it short, so I will try my best. If anyone wants more
details or information, please email me and I will explain more if
needed.
This
is a father that is very ill with a
son in a special school. The father worked for a company outside of Israel
that went bankrupt, owing him a very large amount of money, which put
him in serious debt.
They are alone, just the two of them, with no other family to assist them..
The
father's health problems are getting worse. He is running around to
different doctors and taking many tests in Hadassah, including his
heart, lungs, liver, intestines and nervous system. He is in pain all
the time,and does not sleep. He also has pains in his
back, legs, and feet. He has vision problems, and has lost most of
his teeth. It is heartbreaking to see this once strong man. He looks ten
years or more older than his age.
The constant stress of the financial problems is making things even worse for his health.
They
are in danger of having their electricity disconnected at any moment.?
This is also the time of year they needed to renew their rental contract
and their landlord would not renew their contract unless all bills and
rent are paid. They paid part, but still owe more. They must stay in
this apartment. They have nowhere else to go plus the boy's school is
nearby.
This
is a very nice man who always helped others, and now desperately needs
help. We are trying to give him some peace before the Holidays so he can
focus on his health and enjoy the Chagim.
Please kindly help them.
Please
email to me with the donation details if you donate so we can get them the money faster, and also please help us pass this on to any
friends and contacts that may be in a position to help.
There are American and
Israeli charities accepting donations online for them. It is also possible to
help through their local grocery store or by bank transfer to friends
helping the family. Please contact me for details.
For USA tax deductible receipts, the Bayswater Neighbors Fund has
a website to donate. I will write the link below. If anyone prefers to
send a check, please email me and I will send the details.
Right above the SUBMIT button on the donation form is written "My
contribution is for:" and then they have a drop-down menu to choose
where the donation will go. Important to choose, "Family in
Jerusalem", and push Submit button once.
This is very important or they will not know to whom to give the
donation. Please also email me if you donate so we can follow
up.
Here is the link.
For Israel donations/receipts, please see the link below. It is
VERY IMPORTANT to write FUND 2110 in the comment box or the donation will
not go to the family and to email me if you donate so we can
follow up. Here is the link for the Mekimi organization donation page.
Then click on
"Secured donation by credit card" and please remember to write FUND 2110 in the comment box.
Thank you all in advance. Tizku L'Mitzvot

About zoning and new construction in Mirkaz Ha'Ir to attend.
Did anyone attend the planning meeting with Ofir Lang in August. I was unable to?
Is there actually a plan for the streets bordering on Rehovim Narkis, HaMaalot King George and Shmuel Ha Nagid?
I am hearing bits and pieces.
I have concerns about the pace of development, tearing down? viable? buildings and replacing them with high ones many more than the 6 or 7 that exist now.
Please let me know about the meeting. Perhaps a few of you would be interested to? follow this development?? You are welcome to post to any neighborhood watts app? group.? I am not a member of the Nachlaot one. Perhaps there is already a wattsapp group concerned with the environment in City Center. Kol tuv Ida Farkash? 0525227635 9 Shmuel Ha Nagid

Re: HELP!! I'm Drowning in Books
I started to do this in the merit of my late father. Had to put on hold due to moving. If you figure out how to raise money to do a library in the merit of a parent, please let me know.
Also be careful about what seforim you accept. We got inundated with bad quality, musty books and books not suitable

There are biographies, for children, non-fiction & self-help titles among others. LOTS of fiction.

D'var Torah from Rav Fanger
A man walked into the Interior Ministry and asked to have his name changed for the New Year. The clerk asked: "Why do you want to change your name?" Said the man: "Because everyone laughs at me." "OK,? what's your name?" Asks the clerk. "Joshua Flotzka," the man said. The clerk tried to hold back her laugh. With difficulty, she said with a straight face, "And what would you like to change your name to?" The man answers: "Nachum Flotzka? ." A new year, new beginnings. This is an optimum time for change, but sometimes we are not so successful. This week's Torah portion begins with the action - "????" - "Went" ?"???? ??? ????? ?? ?????? ???? ?? ?? ?????..."And Moshe went and spoke these words to all of Israel" What does " Moshe went" mean? Where is he going? It would be sufficient to have written "and Moshe will speak these words" ...? The sages explain that Moshes' words to Israel were always geared towards progress, movement, productivity - "will go" - to go and ascend all the time. What then do we do if past thoughts remind us of who we once were? There is a story told of a righteous person who repented and mended his ways. He went to the Maggid of Mezrich z"l, to lament, that the thoughts of his past do not give him rest. The Maggid told him: There was once a Jew living in Poland, and he owned a pub that was adjacent to his house. Every day the locals would visit him to drink until they got drunk and defile his place with their vomit. Not only that they would also break his chairs, cups, and bottles. The pub owner had enough of this trouble and decided to close the pub and turn the place into a clothing store. Once in the middle of the night some drunkards came, and started knocking on the door of his house shouting - "Jew, let us have a drink, open up for us, we are looking for good wine".? The Jew heard their shouting in the middle of the night and ignored their wails, did not get up or move. - They did not let up, they, kept knocking again and again on the door of his house. Eventually, he called back to them from behind the locked door -? "I no longer own a pub, there is no wine here, and no beers, you have nothing to look for here anymore. From now on you will only find clothing here. The Maggid concluded ?"This is the way to deal with all kinds of bad thoughts. We do not quarrel with them, do not start a conversation and discussion with them, but simply decide - to open a new page. Recognize you are no longer the same person". ?Even if the thoughts from the past knock on the door and try to remind us of who we were - do not get dismayed or discouraged, do not let them in. They may come back again and again, but eventually, they will leave.? We have opened a new year, do not let past thoughts drag you backward. No matter what happens, the main thing is to continue - "will go"."????"? Keep in mind- every new endeavor takes time. Only if you keep pushing forward and do not give up will you reap the benefits. Shabbat Shalom ?Rav Yitzchak Fanger

Some of my best thoughts come to me while I am davening. It's a battle to shove them out of the way. These are not what I choose to be concentrating on; but, somehow they find a way to squeeze themselves in and pre-occupy my mind while I am trying to have lofty thoughts of the greatness of G'd and His many kindnesses.

I am guessing I am not the only one who at times finds it challenging to concentrate on Tefillot. To this end, I have asked Rae Shagalov and Tzirel Liba Mitzmann to join me on a panel where we will all learn techniques to help us to get into the correct frame of mind and to focus on our tefillot.
Join us on Monday, September 13, 7 Tishrei, for some concrete tips to help you get the most out of your tefillot. To sign up for this FREE panel click the link below
I look forward to seeing you, Gila

TThe Scarlet Thread
Said the Koretzer: "We read: 'Like the scarlet thread are your lips' (Song of Song 4:3). As the scarelt thread hung at the Temple on Yom Kippur showed by its miraculous change into white the forgiveness of sins, your sins now will be forgiven if you are able to change your everyday prayers ands tudy, mixed as they are? with foreign thoughts, into pure worship and concentrated study."

Shana Tova from Rav Fanger and the English office
The most beautiful painting, as well as long journeys, are made up of many brush strokes, and many small precise steps. Step after step, heel after heel, a drop of paint followed by another drop, until the painting appears in its entirety and in all its glory. Until the road comes to an end and the person reaches his destination.
The road to Rosh Hashanah is long and full of obstacles. Many stains cover a person's sheet, and he has to work to remove?the?blemishes and mold his Rosh Hashanah. The journey is long, yet short. One small step, step by step,?is the beginning of the long journey? One?brush stroke joining the other until the painting is complete.
Each and every person creates his or her own Rosh Hashanah.
Three books?are opened?on Rosh Hashanah -Tzadikim, Reshaim, and?Benoni.??You write yourself in whichever book you choose.?Written?by decisions?- "What do I choose to be?"?The holy rabbi "Toldot Yaakov Yosef"?writes-dependent on how a?person decides in his mind how he will behave?in the coming year that?it is?what will be?written?for him?from above. Take upon yourself a?positive resolution?for Rosh Hashanah, a?positive action,?behavior, one mitzvah that you may have neglected last year.?Let?us?come?to Rosh Hashana?with a "gift" in hand for?the upcoming year may it be filled with only good. May it be His will that we are?privileged to be written in the book of the righteous immediately for a good life and peace out of faith, joy, unity, and love.

Hiding from Supplicants
Said the Koretzer: "It is the royal etiquette that if guilty persons succeed in seeing the King, He pardons them. To prevent wholesale pardons, the King hides himself from the supplicants. It is thus with the King of Kings: He conceals Himself on the Judgment Day and we seek for the key which will open the door to the place of His hiding. We try our customary prayers, our hymns amd special prayers, the blowing of the shofar, and the varied intonations for the reading of the Torah. And when the traditional keys have all beeen used, one of them will surely open the hiding place of the Lord."
