Melaveh Malkah 5773 9-Feb-13 Rosh Chodesh Adar 5773 on the Cover
Melaveh Malkah 5773 9-Feb-13 Rosh Chodesh Adar 5773 On The Cover Pictured on the cover is the original hand executed papercut entitled “Pitchu Li Sha’arei Tzedek...Open for Me the Gates of Righteousness…” (Tehillim 118:19). Created after the artist was inspired by a beautiful niggun of the Hallel Tefillah, the artwork is modeled after a traditional stone gate and ironwork one might find in the Old City of Yerushalayim. The pesukim describe the Holy City’s special feeling of tranquility and closeness to Hakadosh Baruch Hu. Hand-detailed gold gouache, Hebrew and English calligraphy, assembly and hand-made colored background paper completed the piece. About the Artist Moshe Braun, Sofer STaM and Judaica Artist, RBS-A An artist since early childhood, Moshe attended the University of Michigan School of Art, earning a BFA concentrating in Industrial Design. After studying intensively in Yeshivot, both in the USA and Israel, Moshe trained and became a Sofer Musmach of the Vaad Mishmeret STaM of Jerusalem. Upon moving with his family from Yerushalayim to Ramat Beit Shemesh, Moshe established his studio upstairs in the old Ahavas Sha- lom location. Moshe relies on intuition and inspiration to capture the spirit, beauty and longing, the history and the majesty, of the Jewish People and the Land of Israel. Moshe employs his varied background as an artist, including industrial design, drawing, painting, photography, two and three dimensional design, and Sofrut, to come up with unique visions of expressionistic concepts. Moshe has gained renown for his use of color to communicate feeling and his fine attention to intricate detail.

The supreme court of the US, has ruled that religious rights are not lost by the individual upon incarcration. Not all state or county prisons as of yet, offer the Jewish inmates the right to practice their religion equally, Jewish requirments permited in one state and one institution might not be permitted in the second institution. For some all it will take is an inmates request, for policy to be written or edited, for others it may take a little more. This book is not intended to make you a Rabbi or proficient with Jewish law as to make deci- sions of law importance, or become an authority on Jewish law. This booklet is to help you under- stand some of the pressing Jewish religious issues, issues you will hear being spoken in the prison you visit.

A Guide to Shabbos Erev Pesach
AA GGuuiiddee ttoo SShhaabbbbooss EErreevv PPeessaacchh © 2005 by Targum Press All rights reserved Not for retail sale Note to the Reader In 1927, the gaon and halachic authority Rabbi Yisrael Weltz, the Rabbi of Budapest, published a compendium of halachos and customs pertaining to erev Pesach when it falls on Shabbos. It was entitled Chok LeYisrael. This work was republished in 1930. A new edition was published in 1960, and a later edition, reedited and annotated by R. Sholom Meshullem Weinberger, in 1974. That year, R. Zvi Cohen of Bnei Brak published a halachic guide to erev Pesach on Shabbos, entitled Erev Pesach SheChal BeShabbos, which relied heavily on Chok LeYisrael. This English compendium draws extensively from the above-mentioned Hebrew works. Shabbos 7 Nissan April 16, 2005 1. Shabbos HaGadol Talk 2. Maariv on Motza’ei Shabbos 3. Melaveh Malkah 1.
