Toras Aish Thoughts from Across the Torah Spectrum R
Pesach 5777 Volume XXIV Number 28 Toras Aish Thoughts From Across the Torah Spectrum R. Meir Simcha of Dvinsk offered a second RABBI LORD JONATHAN SACKS interpretation. He noted that the biblical text at this point Covenant & Conversation says, "And when your children say to you..." (Ex. ne of the most dazzling insights of the sages was 12:26). This is unusual. The normal verb introducing a to connect the dots -- the three places in the question is lishol, not leimor, "to ask" not "to say." To OTorah where children are spoken of as asking ask is to seek an answer. To say is to express an questions, and the fourth where we are commanded to opinion. Hence, concluded R. Meir Simcha, what "teach your child on that day" -- and turn them into the makes this child different is that he is not asking a series of vignettes known as the arba banim, the four genuine question but a rhetorical one. He seeks not to children of the Haggadah, one wise, one "wicked," one learn but to dismiss. He asks but is not interested in the simple and one not yet able to ask. answer.

Goodnight, Sleep Tight
artist: essie jain / image: whitelilygreen.blogspot.com Goodnight sleep tight sleep No two families need do things the same way. There are no absolutes goodnight tight here with “shoulds” and “shouldn’ts.” Create a bedtime ritual that suits you and your child. Bring the memories of your own childhood bedtime ritual into the present to flavor your choices. The Shema can be the first prayer said by a child. And by teaching it to your child, you will be linking your family into a chain of tradition that stretches back two thousand years to Talmudic times. If you see yourself in a relationship with God who is in heaven and directs the world, the Shema affirms that there is only one God that we all worship. If you prefer a more mystical understanding and imagine God as not only present in the universe but that the universe is a manifestation of God, then the Shema affirms God’s unity with all creation. Some people tend to think that Jews in the past thought and did Rituals give a comforting shape to a child’s day. They offer a child a sense everything the same “orthodox” way, but Judaism has always been a of stability and security that provide a gentle transition to sleep. The pluralistic tradition that evolved and responded to the cultural milieu regularity of brushing teeth, reading a story or singing a song before being surrounding it. While the mystical approach to Judaism is less well kissed goodnight suggests to children that what they know and love is a constant and will be there again in the morning. -
