A Weekly Byte...From Isralight (Vayigash 5769)
Summary: Accused of being spies by Joseph, the brothers claim they are not a band of men, or a military unit, but a family of brothers, whose youngest brother, Binyamin is still back home with their aging father Yaakov. This moment, where Yehuda offers himself in place of his younger brother Binyamin, is viewed as Yehudah's coming of age, and the watershed experience in Yehudah's life. In that moment, Yehuda the son of Yaakov becomes Yehuda, the King of Israel. 0%

Israel Forever - The Promise of Return
Summary: Israel Forever - The Promise of Return "Ohr Somayach" As anxious as he was to see his son Yosef after 22 years of separation, the Patriarch Yaakov was disturbed by the need to leave Eretz Yisrael for Egypt where his son promised to sustain him and his family.

Ask! - Money Talks
Summary: - Money Talks "Ohr Somayach" From: Manny in Austin, TX Dear Rabbi, With all the discussion on the causes of the current financial crisis I can? That being said, the Torah position on money is that wealth is a gift from G-d independent of one?

Torah Weekly - Parshat Vayigash
Summary: Torah Weekly - Parshat Vayigash "Ohr Somayach" OVERVIEW ________ With the discovery of the goblet in Binyamin's sack, the brothers are confused.

A Weekly Byte...From Isralight (Miketz 5769)
Summary: After all, the brothers believe that Joseph deserves to be killed, whereas Re'uven feels he can still be returned home to their father's household. It may well be that Yaakov, sensing the discord that is being created with Joseph at home and the brothers out in the fields, sends Joseph out to begin to repair this disparity. This added argument might well have swayed the brothers to put off selling Joseph and allow Re'uven to carry him home. 0%

Israel Forever - Surviving the Lean Years
Summary: Israel Forever - Surviving the Lean Years "Ohr Somayach" As Israel and the entire world brace themselves for surviving the current financial crisis, it is worthwhile reflecting on what we learn in this week's Torah portion about the "seven lean years" which were destined for Egypt after seven years of prosperity.

TalmuDigest - Bava Kama 2 - 8
Summary: TalmuDigest - Bava Kama 2 - 8 "Ohr Somayach" THE POOR RICH MAN _________________ How is it possible for a man who owns property to be entitled to receive money from the tithe reserved for the poor? The rule is that if one owns two hundred zuz he is not considered poor and is not entitled to any of the agricultural gifts that the Torah awards to the poor.

Ask! - In the Light of the Slivery Moon
Summary: - In the Light of the Slivery Moon "Ohr Somayach" Dear Rabbi, Where does the halacha for kiddush levana (blessing for the New Moon) come from and have there been any Torah authorities who were opposed to it?
