PUBLIC PHONE IN CEDARHURST
My youngest son saw it, and asked me
what was a phone doing on the wall,
who uses it. So I took a quarter, showed
him where the slot is, for the first time
ever he heard a dial tone, he dialed his bubby
and told her about this wild phone on a wall, and they laughed together very hard.

Living in the Five Towns,
Jewish man is missing after surfing, please daven Two days after American surfer Daniel Bobis vanished beneath the waves off western Indonesia, his family is urging people to pray for the 32-year-old's safe return. "I want people to pray for Danny," said Gloria Bobis, mother of the Long Beach, N.Y., resident. "And if they're also able to assist in any way, please help." Hundreds of friends and students from Long Beach High School, where Bob is a math teacher and coach, gathered Monday evening for an impromptu service on the Atlantic Ocean boardwalk not far from where the man first learned how to surf. Chabad-Lubavitch Rabbi Eli Goodman, director of the local BACH Jewish Center, recited Psalms and told the crowd that their actions half a world away were not in vain. http://www.chabad.org/news/article_cdo/aid/1579093/jewish/Hundreds-Pray-for- Missing-Surfer.htm This request was on the above website . If i am updated i will email you. thank you, Chana E. And Please Daven for a complete recovery for Chaya Brocha Miriam Shira bas Mira

The Bresler family has a daughter, Meira, who is very sick. They decided to put together a lesson-a-day style learning in her zechus by email. They just sent the email below, asking to try to add recipients to the list so they can reach 1000. Recently they said that some tests Meira had did not have favorable results, so perhaps they are trying to accrue extra zechusim at this hard time.
In any case, if you are interested in receiving the daily emails, send an email asking to be added to the list to:

Sefer Ahavas Chesed Part 2: Chapter 8- Day 2
L'Zechus Refuah Sheleimah L'Chaya Meira Mindel Bas Chava Golda B'Soch Sha'ar Cholei Yisroel
We would like to thank you all again for the unbelievable participation in the project. Baruch Hashem we have over 750 people receiving the e-mail daily and participating in AhavasChesed4Meira. We can not express the courage and strength it has given us to continue. We would like to really make a push to 1,000 recipients. If you could please continue to spread the word (friends, coworkers, synagogues, etc.) and encourage people to join, that would be greatly appreciated and we hope to soon pass the 1,000 mark! Thank you so much again!
The Chofetz Chaim gives a second type of fear which keeps us from doing Chesed. The fear we described yesterday, was a fear that we would not get payed back. Another aspect of fear, says the Chofetz Chaim, is a fear that we might need the money immediately. Even if we are confident that we will get payed back, we are scared that we might need the money in the interim. Unlike the fear of yesterday, the Chofetz Chaim says that this fear has a good claim. He says that if there is reality to this fear then for sure your life comes first. However, he explains that this is often just us fantasizing. If there is a deal or something in actuality that we need the money for immediately then we need to take care of ourselves but that is only true if the deal has already begun or if it is going to be a very long term loan that there is a strong chance we will need it. However, if it is only a concern that maybe at some point throughout this time of the loan that an opportunity will maybe present itself without real reason to believe this, then this is not a concern that should prevent us from doing this Chesed. Often, we don't do a Chesed because we think it will leave us at a loss for the mean time when really this is not such a practical thought.
For today's goal, try to do a Chesed despite this far-fetched concern. Even if you are nervous because it might leave you at a loss, evaluate carefully if it is really something crucial to you right now and if it is not then overcome this concern and do the Chesed.
Thank you so much and Tizku L'Mitzvos,
The Bresler Family

Parshas Masei
Journeys
What does it take to make a parshah come alive that seems to speak only of a distant past? How are we to find meaning in series of place- names completely foreign to us who couldn't locate any one of them today?
It takes but a single thought of the Besht.
So much falls into place when we realize that the forty-two legs of Bnei Yisrael's wilderness expedition point to the way every Jew must approach the great journey of his own life.
For Bnei Yisrael, the path led from their birth as a nation at the time of the Exodus, and took them to a permanent home and resting place in Eretz Yisrael. They left from a source of tumah, and arrived after forty-two mini-journeys in the land of kedushah. For each Jew, the journey likewise begins at birth, and ends with entering the land of eternal life above.
The seforim hakedoshim observe that the forty-two journeys correspond to the 42 words of Ana Bekoach, which has seven lines of six words each. These lines in turn correspond to the seven lower sefiros, each one considered in its combination with the other six. Toras Avos explained that the upshot of this observation is to expand our conception of our task and job in this world. We understand that we are obligated to meticulously heed all the expectations of halachah in performing all the mitzvos. Beyond that, however, waits another job description. Each of us comes into the world for the purpose of making some contribution to, sometikkun in, each of the midos through which Hashem relates to the world. The scope of this task is alluded to in the 42 journeys.
One need not be a kabbalist to appreciate this teaching. The point is that we live as Jews on two tracks. On one of them, we act decidedly like all other Jews act. The expectations are set, firm, and uniform within the parameters of our own group. At the same time, we move along a different track, each one of us on a road not trodden by another, walking very much alone on a very personal journey.
Why, though, is the journey so discontinuous? Why so many starts and stops? Why would the Torah not compare the course of our lives to a single perambulation, given to twists and turns and delays? Why is the journey punctuated with layovers, which turn it into multiple, serial journeys?
In this the Torah alludes to another great truth about the nature of our lives. According to kabbalah, sparks of holiness became fixed in the world at the time of Creation. Their kedushah was such that their brilliance and power was masked by forces that would keep them hidden - the kelipos, or shells, about which the mekubalim speak. Another way of looking at our purpose in life is to find those kelipos and reveal and elevate the sparks inside them. The 42 mini- journeys accentuate the fact that these nitzotzosare everywhere, and that Bnei Yisrael stopped in those places to find the good that lay dormant there, waiting to be exposed. (Were it not for the sin of Adam and Chava, nothing of the sort would have been necessary, taught the Ohev Yisrael. With that sin came a blurring of the distinction between good and evil, and the mixing and blending of the two, particularly in the form ofnitzotzei kedushah scattered about, always intermixed with the tumah of the kelipos. Man would now be charged with the labor of separating them.)
The generation of the wilderness in particular was up to the task. So says the Zohar, in understanding the Torah's description of that wilderness. It was "great and awesome, [a place of] snake, serpent, scorpion and thirst where there was no water,"exceeding the harshness of other places unfriendly to human habitation. The Zohar sees these dangers as symptomatic of thetumah that suffused the area. Precisely because of the lofty level this generation attained, Hashem led them on a path to confront that tumah head-on. They would challenge it, overcome it, and tame it in the process. Were it not for the sins they committed, they could have fully contained it, resulting in the complete universal tikkun. While that was not to be, they did succeed in weakening the tumah they encountered.
The place-names do not really indicate locales of population concentration - the wilderness did not lend itself to producing so many population centers. Rather, each stopover yielded a dividend of kedushah through Klal Yisrael's weakening of the tumah that encased it. Each place-name indicates the nature of that dividend, taught the Magid of Zlotchov. (While we do not have a firm grasp on the nature of either the tumah or the kedushah of a given place, we get some idea of the possibilities through a teaching of the Kedushas Levi, who makes an object lesson of one of them. We are told that Bnei Yisrael encamped at Charadah. The name suggests a place associated with intense fear, albeit a negative, counterproductive one. By overcoming it, they turned around the fear itself, elevating it to an instrument of progress, of reverence for kedushah. We can see in this example how other challenges they encountered in their long trek could have simlilarly been transformed for the better.)
Following this approach, we understand why there was such disparity in the amount of time Bnei Yisrael spent in different stops along the way. Kadesh Barnea occupied them for nineteen years; they left other places after a day or two. If we assume that each place presented its own challenge, we grasp that some of those required more time to successfully deal with than others. The more latent kedushah resident in a place, the longer they needed to spend uncovering it.
Keep in mind that the subject at hand is no academic exercise. According to the Besht, parshas Mas'ei is nothing less than a mission statement of every Jew. Each of us comes into the world with a mixture of good and bad tendencies, every person according to the source of his neshamah in the upper worlds. Our job is to unravel the two, to separate the good from the bad. The path we must take bears our individual imprint. We cannot shift roles, or trade someone else's job for our own. The Yesod Avodah cites the Ari to the effect that on two days from the beginning of time, indeed no two hours, were ever meant to be equivalent. What was supposed to be accomplished at one moment cannot be compensated for at another. Each moment in time is its own challenge, its own opportunity. Similarly, no two people can take identical life trajectories. Each life is a complete world unto itself.
The Zohar we cited above emphasized how the wilderness traveled by Bnei Yisrael was hostile and difficult. We should expect nothing different in our own personal journey. Getting the job done well requires us to spend time in an environment of burning desires and navigating our way through the kelipos.
The difficulties are much easier to bear when we realize the parallel to the journey to the Promised Land. The environment was harsh, and the path was convoluted. Yet, every step was guided by Hashem. Nothing was random; nothing was gratuitous. So it is with the unpredictable and complex course of our own lives. We need to stop in many way-stations on the road to our destination. Every place we find ourselves, every new situation that arises, is meant to be. Every one is an opportunity to elevate in some manner the inner content of what lies therein.

Tisha B'Av as a Holiday?
"There was no Jewish holiday like the day the Beis Hamikdosh was destroyed." Holiday? Is this some awful mistake? It is difficult enough to find a bit of consolation on our national day of mourning for the loss of the mishkan Shechinah , and the endless succession of horrors and outrages that have befallen us as a people. How can we possibly call it a holiday?
But it is indeed. The very despair of Tisha B'Av yields dividends that are cause for celebration.
Who wins the favor of the king? The easiest example we could find is that of a beloved prince, whose every accomplishment and talent reflect positively on his father, and who therefore brings him much honor.
Ironically, however, someone who brings the king no honor at all may win more intense favor. Should the prince be mentally insufficient, he will arouse powerful feelings of closeness in the king. Realizing that his son cannot look out for himself, and depends completely upon his father for protection and care, the king is overwhelmed by compassion.
We readily understand the parallel to Tisha B'Av. We reached the nadir of our national existence when we forced the Shechinah to withdraw from its chosen abode. Our complete helplessness leads to feelings of compassion in Hashem, as it were, that surpass those of the actual holidays.
The Torah calls us banim, children of Hashem. Fatherly love comes in different forms. The most obvious is the love shared at close range. Separate the father from the son, and the love is now compounded by yearning, by the gnawing pain of distance. If we push further yet, we can detect another variety of love, still stronger than the others. Imagine a child deathly ill, desperately in need of surgery. The father is a surgeon, and only he can save the child. The child pierces his heart with his cries. When he places the blade of the scalpel against the tender skin of the child, the parent might as well be cutting into his own flesh. The love that the father feels at that moment is the strongest of all the contradictory and tempestuous emotions. Seeing the child in dire peril, realizing its utter helplessness, save for the intervention of the father - these produce a love beyond any other situation.
This is Tisha B'Av, and this is why it is a "holiday" like no other. The love of HKBH for Klal Yisrael is without condition and without bounds. In our moment of greatest weakness, and greatest vulnerability, the compassion of our Father is moved as on no other day. He displayed this love through the paradoxical embrace of the cheruvim, signifying the closeness between Hashem andKlal Yisrael at a time we might have expected Him to emphasize separation and distance.
An entirely different argument explains the holiday-like character of Tisha B'Av from another perspective. We find very little spiritual consistency in our world. Not all places and times are created equal. To the contrary, they all appear very different.
We have no trouble isolating places that are holier than others - including ten different levels of ascending holiness within the Land of Israel. On the other hand, Mitzrayim is seen by Chazal as "ervas ha- aretz," or the most debased and spiritually deprived place on earth.
There are times of average kedushah, greater kedushah, and greatest kedushah.
These distinctions are all for our good. If they were not, they would not exist!
We can readily understand at least one of the dividends of a world of changing and shifting kedushah potential. We try to take advantage of the opportunity that the special days of the year hold out for us. We push ourselves to anticipate them, to prepare for them, and to act differently on them. Contemplate the value of attaching ourselves to HKBH not on the special days of the year, but on the ordinary ones. Then consider the value of doing the same at times that we are particularly distant from Hashem. Swimming against the spiritual current is a most powerful exercise!
Now consider what transpired at the time of the churban. Jews became aware that enemy soldiers were not only on Har Habayis, but had entered the Kodesh Kodoshim. Ordinarily, only the Kohen Gadol would enter, and only on Yom Kippur after elaborate preparation, and as part of a complex avodah. Yet now the enemy impudently entered and defiled it, mocking the Temple, its people and its G-d.
No greater insult to national pride could be contemplated. Their personal despair was now compounded by national disgrace and degradation. All who understood what had happened were tortured, broken souls. Those souls still longed for Hashem, wanted desperately to feel close again, even though - or because - they sensed that they had fallen into a spiritual pit.
Hashem cherishes the soul that is broken and turns to Him. He reacted to a nation of broken souls by displaying the cheruvimlocked in embrace, as if at time of great closeness. And indeed it was. Klal Yisrael's yearning for Him when He appeared distant led to His reasserting His commitment to them. This is the stuff a moed is made of - a time of special encounter and discovery. Tisha B'Av was indeed a holiday.
It is no coincidence that the Torah reading for the first Shabbos in the Three Weeks is Pinchas, which contains the musafim for all the holidays of the year.
This moed-quality of Tisha B'av expresses itself in several ways. The sefarim hakedoshim call our attention to a remarkable identity. The most concentrated YomTov season we know occurs in Tishrei. Altogether, there are twenty-two days inclusive between Rosh Hashanah and the end of the Tishrei holiday period. The same number of days form the period of mourning for theBeis Hamikdosh , between the Seventeenth of Tamuz and Tisha B'Av.
This is not coincidental, say the sefarim hakedoshim. It was meant to be. Once we grasp the notion that Tisha B'Av has moedproperties, we are somewhat better prepared to accept that the relationship between these periods is not coincidental, but deliberate and tight. The next step is still a bit of a shock.
If the periods are parallel, then each day in the Tamuz-Av period is paired with one in Tishrei. Tisha B'Av - the last day of the summer group of 22 - is matched with Simchas Torah, the final day of the Tishrei holiday period. The joy of Simchas Torah, through which we sing and dance our way to an affirmation of our love of Hashem's Torah, has a parallel in Tisha B'Av! In the midst of their despair and darkness - or more accurately because of it - Jews learned on that day that Hashem's love for them was unending and unyielding. They understood that Hashem was still with them, and in no lesser degree than when they merited His closeness by performing as He expected.
Are we then to turn Tisha B'Av into a joyous occasion? Of course not. But the joy modifies our practical avodah on that day. Consider the contrast between two of the gedolei chassidus. The Saba Kadisha would fall to the ground at the day's beginning, weeping with outstretched limbs, and continuing to weep this way the entire day. (A doctor who observed this remarked that he had thought it humanly impossible for a person to cry so much.) The Magid of Kozhnitz, however, would occupy his day inspiringchizuk, banishing the fog of gloom and desperation that can easily lead people to lethargy in their avodah.
One of his own meshalim helps explain his behavior. A small but elite group of musicians were kept in the employ of a king. They weren't called upon too often, at least not when things were going well for the king. When the world began to weigh heavily upon the king, however, and he began sliding towards melancholy, they sprang into action to cheer him up.
On Tisha B'Av, said the Magid of Kozhnitz, the King's heart is heavy. All those who love Him will want to gladden the heart of the King Who followed His people into exile.
It seems that the Kozhnitzer must have been a member of the Hashem's special elite group. Other Jews have to figure out their place, each one according to who he is. While all must mourn, we must also find within our avodah a way to go beyond the mourning. For some, it will be in the form of resisting the natural tendency to become depressed and crushed. For others, it will be a reaffirmation of Hashem's kingship, expressing undying loyalty and devotion to Him even at the worst of times, keeping theKeser Malchus firmly in place.
