The Mourner's Kaddish
Rabbi Bunam said: "A king selected out of his armies a regiment of loyal guards of whom he was extremely?proud. When a member of the royal regiment died, the loss was deeply felt by him.
"Likewise, when a Jew dies, a member of God's Chosen People, the Lord takes the loss to heart, there being one less to glorify His name. We, therefore, pray: 'May His great name regain its greatness and its sanctity' since the son of the departed takes his father's place."

Being a teen is complicated. Therapy can help. The Family Institute of Neve Yerushalayim offers confidential, professional and affordable therapy. Adolescence can often be a period of turmoil and confusion. Therapy offers an opportunity for teens to create clarity for themselves within the many complexities of their lives. Our therapists are frum men and women who have experience and training in working with this age group. They each have a Master's or equivalent in a mental health related field and have completed an intensive, two-year, post-Master's training in family therapy. We believe therapy should be available to all and our services are subsidized with a sliding fee if necessary. ? The adolescent unit is supervised by Dr. Zev Ganz.
We’re here for you.

SEFER CHOFETZ CHAIM
Day 64 – Initiating a Din Torah
?????????????
The Torah requires that monetary disputes be adjudicated by a beis din, rabbinical court.? It is permissible to exert social pressure on an individual to convince him to agree to participate in a din Torah (court case) before a
beis din.? However, social pressure that could cause embarrassment is not an option if the person is in the category of amisecha, your fellow (see Day 55).? A person who erroneously believes that he is justified in taking someone else’s money must be set straight,
but he is not a mumar (rebellious sinner).? Embarrassment is not a recourse, but one may discuss the matter with anyone who can influence the person and explain that the person is involved in a monetary dispute and should be persuaded to come before a beis
din.
?
Unlike an individual, a beis din may publicize the fact that an individual refuses to abide by its ruling or has ignored a summons to appear before it.? As previously mentioned, social pressure is often the only means by which rabbinical courts can enforce
their decision.
?
?
SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON
?
Causing Others To Sin
?
Our Sages speak harshly of a “sinner who causes others to sin.”? “Causing another to sin is worse than killing him. For by killing him, one denies him this world, but by causing him to sin, one denies him both this world and the next” (Sifre, Devarim 23:8).
Thus, to relate forbidden information and cause another to listen to and accept loshon hora is to commit a most serious offense [aside from the transgression of numerous Scriptural laws for speaking the forbidden].
?
One should also take note of the emphasis which the Torah places on caring for the needs of one’s fellow. For example, we are forbidden to ignore another Jew’s lost object. Even if the object is worth but a few cents, and even if the owner is unaware of its
loss, nevertheless, we are commanded to pick it up and return it to him. Now, if the Torah commands us to be so concerned with our fellow’s material possessions, which have value only in this temporal world, how much more must we be concerned with matters
affecting his soul, which lives on eternally. We dare not harm him spiritually by causing him to sin

What can you do if your child refuses to go to school?
Shalom Friends
From time to time parents have asked me what they can do with a child that is either bored and therefore does not want to go to school. What can a parent do??
The video that is shared here offers some thoughts as to possible reasons for a child to either be bored or not want to go to school,?or both. There are more thoughts to add but the video is long enough. At the end of the video are a very few ideas of things parents can do to gain more insight into what can be troubling their child.
I hope you find this helpful. If you like videos like this one, do subscribe to the channel and post a comment on the video to let me know your thoughts, questions and what other videos you would like to see.?
Have a blessed?week.

Extra Covering
Said the Koretzer: “In the synagogue the Jews make use of an extra covering, the tallit (prayer shawl), so that they may the more separate the nakedness of the body from the spiritual. Non-Jews, however, remove their coats and their hats. They do not realize that the body and the soul are distinct from each other.

Need a liver donor?
?
Are you or someone you know in need of a liver transplant & seeking someone to donate part of their liver?
?
I am a kidney & liver Shadchan.? I don’t get paid or charge a fee. It is my Mitzvah project to save lives of people in need of an organ.?
?
There are a few religious people in Israel, that had already donated a kidney & are now interested in donating part of their liver too!
?
If you or someone you know in Israel is in need of a liver donor, please contact me & I will see if I can possibly help that person.?
?
Note: There are many people in the USA who have been able to donate both a kidney & part of their liver.? However, in Israel, most hospitals will not allow kidney donors to donate part of their liver. However, one hospital in Israel – Hadassah, might allow a kidney donor to also donate part of their liver. As I know someone who tested at that hospital- a kidney donor who was turned down recently from donating liver.? She was turned down because she was told she had to lose weight first. And was also told by someone at Hadassah, ?that the Ministry of Health would have to approve the liver match. So even if Hadassah may allow this to happen – possible that the Ministry of Health may not allow this to happen.
?
Anyhow – if someone needs a liver donor in Israel – we will see if we can try to make it happen.? So can’t guarantee if any of the 3 people in Israel who want to donate part of their liver, will be able to do so in Israel, but we can try!
?
If you need any other info, please feel free to contact me.
?
My kidney/liver projects are endorsed by Harav Dovid Goldwasser, Brooklyn, NY.
?
Shavua Tov, Chodesh Tov!

All the best,

SEFER CHOFETZ CHAIM
Day 61 – With No Alternative
?
If after giving a situation much thought, a teacher comes to the conclusion that a particular student has a behavioral or learning problem and feels that it will not be possible to deal with the problem without the involvement of
the principal, his colleagues, or the student’s parents, then the teacher should speak to the necessary party without delay.
?
Condition 5 of constructive speech (see Day 50) is that the speaker’s intent be purely for constructive reasons and not out of anger or frustration.? This could be extremely trying when the student in question is disruptive and frequently upsets the teacher.?
?
Difficult as it is, teachers must not take students’ behavior personally.? The disruptive student is, in most cases, not fighting the teacher; he is struggling with himself as he deals with the challenges of life.
?
?
SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON
?
Pure and Wholesome
?
By rejecting loshon hora as false, one ensures that his study of Torah and fulfillment of other mitzvos remain wholesome and untainted.
?
One who is in the habit of listening to loshon hora is liable to lose thousands of mitzvos which he could have performed — specifically, the many responses of “Amen” and “Yehei Shemei Rabbah”, and the many minutes of Torah study that can be lost while listening
to gossip. Generally speaking, gossipmongers are eager to sell their “wares” to anyone who is willing to listen and at any time, even in the synagogue while prayers are in progress and in the study hall while Torah is being learned. They carry on conversations
while Kaddish is being recited, during the chazzan’s repetition of the Shemoneh Esrei, and during the public Torah reading.
?
When a person is known to refrain from listening to loshon hora, gossipmongers will avoid speaking in his presence, even when their words are intended for others to hear and not for him.
?
One who seeks to be completely innocent of the sin of accepting loshon hora should, on a steady basis, speak to the members of his immediate family regarding the imperative of shmiras haloshon. He should tell them of both the great reward for being zealous
in matters of speech and the severe retribution that one may incur for transgressing the sins of speaking and accepting loshon hora.

Day 62 – Harming A Student
?
Finally, a teacher must be careful not to cause his student undue harm.? Halachah permits a teacher to strike a child for educational purposes, and embarrassment may also be justified, if it is for the student’s benefit.? (The Talmud
states that striking one’s older child is prohibited as it may incite him to hit back.)? However, in today’s era of brazenness, corporal punishment even in early childhood often teaches violence rather than discipline, and must be carefully evaluated.? Verbal
abuse by a teacher can have a decidedly negative effect on his students and may undermine all efforts at educating the students regarding Shmiras Haloshon.
?
In any situation where embarrassment or physical punishment might result from the teacher relating the student’s problem to others, he may do so only if the consequences are necessary for the student’s growth and development.? As mentioned above (Day 26), teachers
must also bear in mind the long-term effects of relating or recording negative information about a student.

Sound Advice
?
I offer the following advice to anyone who seeks to guard his tongue from speaking the forbidden: Train yourself to refrain from engaging in any conversation while in a beis midrash (study hall) or beis haknesses (synagogue). The benefits of this practice are
many:
?
(1) One fulfills the great mitzvah of displaying respect for the awesome sanctity of these places.1
?
(2) His Torah study is untainted by disruption (see Day 61) and his prayers are likewise uninterrupted and not lacking even one Amen or Yehei Shemei Rabba, each a priceless, irreplaceable treasure. Conversely, to disregard these responses is a serious sin.
?
(3) The average Jewish male spends approximately four hours a day in the beis haknesses for the three daily prayers. (This figure takes into account the fact that most people remain in the synagogue [studying and praying privately] for a while after the prayer
has ended.2) He spends another two hours in the beis hamidrash studying Torah — a total of six hours, or one-fourth of each twenty four period. Thus, one who scrupulously avoids idle conversation in halls of Divine service is assured of having spent at least
one-fourth of his lifetime on this earth engaged in Torah study and prayer and having avoided all forms of forbidden speech.
?
(4) Having trained oneself to avoid conversation for these six hours, one will find it relatively easy to refrain from speaking loshon hora the remainder of the day.
?
1. The Torah states, “Observe My Sabbaths and revere My sanctuary — I am Hashem” (Vayikra 26:2). The status of the synagogue and study hall as “miniature sanctuaries” demands proper reverence. “Regarding synagogues, one may not conduct himself with levity in
them, one may not eat in them, nor may one drink in them, nor may one adorn himself in them, nor may one stroll around in them, nor may one enter them in the summer to escape the heat or in the rainy season to escape the rain ...” (Megillah 28a). Included
under “levity” is mundane conversation, such as matters pertaining to business (see Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 151:1).
?
2. The Chofetz Chaim wrote these words in the late 1800’s.
