Giving or Receiving
The Kotzker Rabbi gave two reasons for our naming the Feast of Shevuoth "The Time of the Giving of Our Torah," and not "The Time of Our Receiving the Torah."
The first reason is that while the Torah was given us in the time of Moses, we continue to receive the Torah all the time henceforth.
The second reason is that, while the Torah was given to every Jew alike, it was not received by everyone in equal proportion, since the receiving depends upon the power of understadning of each individual.

Personal Recommendation - Great Frum Moving Company
Shalom! We just moved apartments and I had an excellent experience with the movers that we used, the Keren David movers.? They didn't ask me to write them a recommendation -- I asked him if I could write him one!???
The minahel, Yoni, is an honest, yirat-shamayim Jew and only uses Jewish workers.? He charges by the hour, perhaps the lowest rate I've?seen out there, and he helped me in advance to prep for the move so that his movers would do their job as quickly and efficiently as possible.? His workers are very respectful and they really cared about doing the best job they could!?
Please reach out to him at:
Any other questions feel free to ask me! Sincerely,? Chaya Richardson

Thoughts of Home
Said the? Medzibozer: "Two young men left their homes to seek thier fortune. After the lapse of considerable time, both began to think of returning. One cherished thoughts of home when he met with failure, reminding himself then of the quiet and pleasant life amid his family in contrast to his presetn tribulation. The other youth thought of home when he propsered: he dwelt upon the pleasure his homecoming would bring his parents.
"The lesson is clear: some think of God only in times of tribulation; others in prosperity as well."

I am pleased to announce the next Movie Matinee at Beit Knesset Hanassi. On Tuesday, June 18 we will present 12 ANGRY MEN.
This is a courtroom drama with a unique twist. We are taken into the jury room. The twelve men decide the fate of a young man charged with murder. It appears to be an open-and-shut case; there is no question he did it. Or did he? One juror has doubt, reasonable doubt.
The deliberations become a display of and debate on each of the jurors’ own prejudices and preconceived notions about the defendant and about themselves with explosive results. The film’s tag line says it all: “A Life Is In Their Hands—Death Is On Their Minds; It Explodes Like Twelve Sticks Of Dynamite!”.
This multi-award winning film is without a doubt one of the greatest movies ever made. Out of more than 670,000 movies ranked by viewers on the Intenet Movie Database, it is ranked NUMBER FIVE! There is an all-star cast including Henry Fonda, Martin Balsam, Lee J. Cobb, Jack Klugman, Jack Warden, Ed Begley and E.G. Marshall. This is a MUST-SEE or SEE-AGAIN CLASSIC!
The film has English subtitles for persons with hearing challenges.
The Movie Matinee is at 2:00. The film is 1? hours in length. In addition, there will be a brief introduction of the film, a short talk and discussion after the screening and an essay about the movie provided to all attendees.
There will be refreshments. No reservations are required. Beit Knesset Hanassi is located at 24 Ussishkin Street. The admission is 20 shekels for members of the shul and 30 shekels for non-members.

SEFER CHOFETZ CHAIM
?
Day 60 – Problem Students
?
The dedicated teacher often finds it necessary to discuss the progress and difficulties of students with parents, colleagues and principals.? A lack of clear guidelines with regard to loshon hora(2) can create either a free-for-all
atmosphere, where people talk about anyone with anyone, or, at the other extreme, a simplistic approach to Shmiras Haloshon(3) which could inhibit the teacher’s effectiveness as an educator.
?
Generally speaking, the area of chinuch (child education and upbringing) constitutes a constructive purpose which would permit relating negative information concerning a student.? However, the specific conditions which permit speaking negatively for a constructive
purpose must never be overlooked.
?
Verification of facts is crucial.? For a teacher to play amateur psychologist and hastily diagnose the student as having some complex disability or disorder without pursuing the matter properly constitutes recklessness – and the consequences can be devastating.?
To communicate one’s evaluation under such circumstances would be hotzaas shem ra (slander).? It is an unfortunate fact that certain problematic children have not succeeded only as a result of having been misunderstood by a teacher, whose labeling tainted
the image of that student in the eyes of all his future teachers.?
?
A teacher must make every effort to fully understand the behavior of each student; he must not be swift to condemn.? It is essential that a student feel comfortable about expressing his true feelings to his teacher (in a respectable manner, of course).? Conditions
1-4 of constructive speech (see Day 50) necessitate a good heart-to-heart talk with the student before reporting a problem (unless one suspects that serious danger may be imminent).
?
?
SEFER SHMIRAS HALOSHON
?
Source of Merit
?
To reject loshon hora as false is an exceedingly great source of merit — especially if the subject of the report is respected as a man of spiritual stature. Tanna D’Vei Eliyahu (II, ch. 7) states:
?
It is said of Yeravam ben Yoash that he was a man who accorded the prophets honor. Therefore, those nations which the Holy One, Blessed is He, did not give over into the hands of Yehoshua bin Nun or David, King of Israel, He gave over into the hands of Yeravam
ben Yoash, as it is written, “He [Yeravam] returned the borders of Israel from the approach to Chamas until the sea of Aravah ...” (II Melachim?14:25).
Why did Yeravam, who was an idol worshiper, merit this? Because he did not accept loshon hora regarding the prophet Amos. ...At that moment [when he rejected the report against the prophet], God said, “Though the generation is guilty of idol worship and its
leader is guilty of idol worship, nevertheless, the land which I promised to Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov will be given over into his [Yeravam’s] hands.”

Keep reading Day 61, the lesson for Shabbos
|
|
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. |

The Gift
The Sadigura Rabbi explained that theTorah does not name the Feast of Shevuoth? "The Feast of the Receiving of the Law" for the reason that it is unmannerly for one who presents a a gift to another person to ask him to rejoice over the gift."
