A PARENT’S PRAYER
For recitation Thursday May 21st, or Friday May 22nd
All parents want the best for their children —
that they should be good and upright, that they have
everything they need for a fruitful, joyous life.
The classic work, Shelah HaKadosh, contains a prayer
that parents should recite for their children at any time of the year —
but especially before Rosh Chodesh Sivan, (which is Sunday, May 24th)
for that is the month when HaShem gave us the Torah,
and when the Jewish people began to be called His Children.
This year it is preferable to recite it on Thursday. It may also be recited on Friday.
THE TEXT OF THE PRAYER IS IN THE ATTACHMENT.
HEBREW with English translation.
Three pages.
AS A PUBLIC SERVICE, WE OFFER THE TEXT OF THE PRAYER FOR DOWNLOADING.

G-d Within
By Tzvi Freeman
Before the Baal Shem Tov, people thought of G-d as
the One who directs all things from above and beyond.
The Baal Shem Tov taught that the vital force of each thing,
from which comes its personality,
its sense of pain and pleasure, its growth and life --
that itself is G-d. Not that this is all of G-d.
It is less than a glimmer of G-d,
because He is entirely beyond all such descriptions.
But that life force is G-d as He is found within
each creature He has made.
From the wisdom of Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, of righteous memory
Fertile Wisdom
If King David, who learned nothing from Achitofel
except for two things alone, nevertheless referred
to him as his "master," "guide," and "intimate,"
it certainly goes without saying that one who learns
from his fellow a single chapter, a law, a verse,
a saying, or even a single letter of Torah,
is obligated to revere him.

The Ramapo Police Department has informed me (David G., Wesley Hills) that
there were several reports in our area of items stolen from vehicles this
past weekend. In every reported case the vehicles were parked outside and
were unlocked. No cars were actually "broken into". We pride ourselves on
having a very safe Village and Town. However, we should not make it easy
for people who want to take what does not belong to them. Please do not
leave valuable items such as pocketbooks, wallets, keys etc. in your
vehicles. Always make sure the vehicle is completely locked when left
unattended.
If you have any information on the burglaries, please contact the Ramapo PD
at 357-2400
Thank you,

Transparent Hero
By Tzvi Freeman
The Holy Ari, Rabbi Yitzchak Luria, taught that each created being,
no matter how lowly, is sustained by a divine spark within it.
The spark yearns to be reconnected to its source,
and that can only be through a human being who will use it for a heavenly purpose.
It is not the sparks that resist, neither is it
the world that is enlivened by those sparks.
It is only the ego of the one who says, "I will do this mitzvah.
I will redeem the Divine."
"How can you redeem us," the sparks respond,
"if you, too, are imprisoned within the 'I'?".
