The Zohar and the Talmud say that the light that is revealed and drawn by a person that answers Amen
 to a blessing is greater than the one that says the blessing. The reason is that with the word Amen,
we use two names of G-d and with the blessing use only one name. Every Amen we say creates
an angel that carries the light down. Angel in Hebrew is " Molech " and it is also equal to 91.

Pruzbol (Ezras Torah):
If there are outstanding debts owed to us which we intend to collect,
 we must prepare a Pruzbol so that the Shemitah year
 will not automatically nullify the debts.
 The nullification of outstanding loans by the Shemitah year
 takes place only at the end of the year.
 Even if one had prepared a Pruzbol last year on
Erev Rosh HaShanah 5767, he must prepare one again now.

DAILY DOSE:
Good Citizens
"Destroy Man’s desire to sin" our sages tell us, "and you would destroy the world."
Not that anyone needs to sin. But one who lacks the desire to sin is not a citizen of this world.
And without citizens, who will effect lasting change?.
A Daily Dose of Wisdom from the Rebbe
-words and condensation by Tzvi Freeman


   
GROWING EACH DAY
Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski  
The memory of a righteous person is a blessing (Proverbs 10:7).
At a family therapy session, one family member said something totally uncalled for, provocative,
 and insulting to another person. The remark was extremely irritating to me, even as an observer,
 and I anticipated an explosive outburst of outrage from the recipient To my great surprise, the latter
 remained quiet and merely gestured to indicate that he was dismissing the comment as being unworthy of a response.
After the session, I complimented the man on his self-restraint. He explained, "A friend of mine once had
a very angry outburst. During his rage he suffered a stroke from which he never regained consciousness.
"I am not afraid that if I become angry I would also suffer a stroke. However, what I and everyone else remember
 of my friend are the last words of his life, which were full of bitterness and hostility. That is not the way I wish to
 be remembered. Since no person can know exactly when one's time is up, I made up my mind never to act in such
 a manner, so that if what I was doing was to be my last action on earth, I would not be remembered that way."
The Talmud tells us that when Rabbi Eliezer told his disciples that a person should do teshuvah one day before his death,
 they asked, "How is a person to know when one will die?" Rabbi Eliezer answered, "Precisely! Therefore one should do
teshuvah every day, since tomorrow may be one's last day."
The verse cited above may be explained in the same way.
People should behave in a way that they would wish others to remember them, for that can indeed be a blessing.
Today I shall ...
.. behave as though this day is the one by which I shall be remembered.

DAILY DOSE:
Reprisal
Do kindness beyond reason.
Defy terror with beauty.
Combat darkness with infinite light.
