What does this mean? It means we have to be careful with our abilities and talents, to be conscientious with our opportunities, not to waste the smallest particular of who we are and what we can do. We must use what G-d has given us in the fullest measure, to the last iota, and for the G-d given purpose of serving the Creator. When fulfilling a mitzva (commandment), it must be done down to the last detail, going the extra step ( known as hiddur, or beautifying, the mitzva). The same precise measurements apply to our use of time - whatever we're doing, we can use every moment to serve G-d. We can conduct our business in an ethical manner, we can converse without speaking badly of another person, we can eat and drink kosher food after Have you ever tried to build a bookcase? What about having recited a blessing over the food. We can relax and put a bike together? Maybe you're trying to replace sleep knowing that after resting we will be reinvigorated some widget in an appliance. Hang wallpaper or retile a to serve G-d in a complete and precise manner. room. Maybe you're more ambitious, and you're putting an addition on your house. If we've measured out our activities for twenty three hours and fifty-nine minutes - allotting exactly the right Whatever you're building or repairing, you know that to portion of it to prayer, to study, to mitzvos, to work, to build or construct properly, you need to measure eating, sleeping and relaxing, as necessary - we still can't precisely. Very precisely. If the measurements are off allow ourselves to waste that last minute. even a fraction of an inch, a smidgen of a millimeter, the whole project could fall apart. This applies not only to ourselves, but to our part of the world, our sphere of influence and contact with others, Edges have to match; nuts-washers-screws have to be and our activity with and use of the material of the earth. the same size and the right size. A misaligned window, even slightly, and all sorts of leaks can start. When each of us uses our G-d-given abilities precisely and accu-rately, to elevate ourselves and our surroundings, so In a sense, every Jew is a master builder, and a precision that no speck or scrap is left over, superfluous, extra or engineer. For we are commanded "build Me a sanctuary, unused, then we, and others, and the world itself fulfill that I may dwell among them." Just as the sanctuary the mission and task of creation, to transform the world made of stone and other material had to be built to the into a dwelling place - a properly and precisely built exact measurements and specific detail, so too each of dwelling place - for G-dliness. us must build our "mini-Sanctuary" - our lives and our section of the world according to the specifications in our "instruction manual," the Torah. 4 5 Sunday night at the movies Screening one of the most uplifting movies of hope and spirit. Would you risk everything - your future, your citiZenship, even your life - to help a brother in need? In 1948, just three years after the liberation of Nazi death camps, a group of Jewish American pilots answered a call for help. In secret and at great personal risk, they smuggled planes out of the U.S., trained behind the Iron Curtain in Czechoslovakia and flew for Israel in its War of Independence. As members of Machal – “volunteers from abroad” – this ragtag band of brothers not only turned the tide of the war; they also embarked on personal journeys of discovery and renewed Jewish pride. ABOVE AND BEYOND is their story.

As members of 'Machal' -- volunteers from abroad -- this ragtag band of brothers not only turned the tide of the war, preventing the possible annihilation of Israel at the very moment of its birth; they also laid the groundwork for the Israeli Air Force.

It seems that our first publication has already become quite popular as this issue contains twice as many papers as the last. Each paper was submitted to two independent reviewers whose reports were carefully analysed; in response to these reports the authors, where necessary, were asked to observe the reviewers’ comments and submit a revised version. The result of this careful selection is a volume twice as thick as the first one, encompassing a total of 25 papers covering the following four areas of interest: linguistics (10), literature and translation (9) and English language and literature teaching (6). This time the volume is truly international in the sense that nearly one half of the authors are from elsewhere in Europe, and even the USA and Canada.
