    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)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    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. The Torah they find there is unlike anything they have ever encountered, and they won’t encounter elsewhere. Rav Pinchas Friedman, its author, is a brilliant talmid chacham by all metrics. He has authored a sefer titled Pri Hadar, an elucidatio

    At a historic maamad in Eretz Yisrael, more than a thousand roshei kollel from across Eretz Yisrael gathered for a full day to hear about strengthening their partnerships with their partners in America, those shuls that have the merit of assisting with the financial responsibility of corresponding kollelim as part of the Adopt-a-Kollel initiative. Adopt-a-Kollel Director Rabbi Yaakov Bernfeld emphasized the siyata d’Shmaya that is apparent in the work of Adopt-a-Kollel, and highlighted a story t

    Kayla’s Children Centre (KCC) is an organization in Toronto that services children with disabilities. Their umbrella of services includes a day school, summer camp, and therapy clinic, and their dozens of programs help over 400 families.

    To See and Be Seen – Mishpacha (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    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.
