If the Walls Could Sing – Mishpacha (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are different minhagim — some read Calligraphy before opening the main magazine, others save it for later. Either way, I’m sure you’ll come across this compilation of excellent fiction. If you’re lucky, you’ll get to Yours Truly’s as well. For those who haven’t read it yet, I’ll give a sneak preview. The story is about a rosh kollel named Michoel who lives in the boondocks and is extremely frustrated by his limitations. The rest is not for here and now. Enjoy the read when you get there. B
The Power of Teshuvah – Mishpacha (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every Shabbos brings a plethora of printed content available in shuls. Everyone has an individual preference — some choose short vertlach, some go for light inspiration, others look for profound mussar insights. But thousands are drawn to Shvilei Pinchas.

To See and Be Seen – Mishpacha (opens the original)
Read excerpt
By now — unless you’re the type to read the magazine on Wednesday — you know the story of Kamtza and Bar Kamtza quite well. You’ve heard it cited many times, or learned the Gemara yourself, as you fasted for 24 hours. So no need to review. By and large, the takeaway has been something to the tune of sinas chinam, pointing to the horrific treatment of Bar Kamtza and the cataclysmic fallout it effected.
