A note on Repentance…
Posted on March 3, 2008
The following was originally published in The SHPiEL, a bi-weekly student-run Jewish newspaper out of the University of Florida. Repentance. Not a Jewish Word. You can?t marry a woman under false pretenses. If a man says to a woman, ?Marry me on account of the fact that I am rich man,? and it turns out […]
Happy Adar
Posted on February 13, 2008
What's with the mitzvah to be happy during Adar? Where does this mitzvah come from, and what can we learn from it? Why is this commandment emphasized so much in Talmudic and Rabbinic sources? By Shira Klayman, sophomore
