You may have noticed that the story about the Chofetz Chayim accidentally went out this morning instead of tonight. I am sorry about that. I set it before shabbos to go out at 8:30, but accidentally left it as AM instead of PM. I just noticed and didn’t want you to get the wrong idea.
Shavua Tov!

The Torah is not lacking even to the most accomplished scholar.
Nor is it beyond the grasp of the simplest school child.

When a child feels something is missing
the child wants it,
demands it with all his heart and soul
and demands it now.
The world is not the way it should be.
None of us are in our proper place.
We must demand from our Father that all this be repaired
and be repaired now.
We need to scream out as a small child would scream. ~ R’ Tzvi Freeman
