Now is a good time to start reminding my readers about two Kiddishes I will be sponsoring in honor of my recent birthday. Please mark your calendars as they are both on Shabbat when you can't use your phone.

The first will be next Shabbat, May 11 at Shier Hadash with Rabbi Pearl. Shier Hadash is in the German Colony/ Baka area. Please contact me if you need the location.

The second will be the following Shabbat May 18th at my Yeshiva, Ner Avraham in Rehavia. I will also be sponsoring the third meal here. Again please contact me if you need the location. You only have a birthday like this one once (of course that is true for all birthdays) so, I would all my friends to come to help me celebrate.

I am doing it in both places because I daven in both places. Each has a beautiful spiritual energy to them.

Holocaust Memorial Day ✡️

Yom HaShoah for Hebrew Year 5784 begins at sundown on Sunday, 5 May 2024 and ends at nightfall on Monday, 6 May 2024.

Yom HaZikaron laShoah ve-laG'vurah (יום הזיכרון לשואה ולגבורה; "Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day"), known colloquially in Israel and abroad as Yom HaShoah (יום השואה) and in English as Holocaust Remembrance Day, or Holocaust Day, is observed as Israel's day of commemoration for the approximately six million Jews and five million others who perished in the Holocaust as a result of the actions carried out by Nazi Germany and its accessories, and for the Jewish resistance in that period. In Israel, it is a national memorial day and public holiday. It was inaugurated on 1953, anchored by a law signed by the Prime Minister of Israel David Ben-Gurion and the President of Israel Yitzhak Ben-Zvi. It is held on the 27th of Nisan (April/May), unless the 27th would be adjacent to Shabbat, in which case the date is shifted by a day.

The Three Musketeers at the Kotel

The Three are Rabbi Yehuda Glick, famous temple mount activist, and former Israel Mk, and then Robert Weinger, the world's greatest shofar blower and seller of Shofars, and myself after we had gone to the 12 gates of the Temple Mount in 2020 to blow the shofar to ask G-d to heal the world from the Pandemic. It was a highlight to my experience in living in Israel and I put it on my blog each day to remember.

The articles that I include each day are those that I find interesting, so I feel you will find them interesting as well. I don't always agree with all the points of each article but found them interesting or important to share with you, my readers, and friends. It is cathartic for me to share my thoughts and frustrations with you about life in general and in Israel. As a Rabbi, I try to teach and share the Torah of the G-d of Israel as a modern Orthodox Rabbi. I never intend to offend anyone but sometimes people are offended and I apologize in advance for any mistakes. The most important psychological principle I have learned is that once someone's mind is made up, they don't want to be bothered with the facts, so, like Rabbi Akiva, I drip water (Torah is compared to water) on their made-up minds and hope that some of what I have share sinks in. Love Rabbi Yehuda Lave.

Remembering Daniel Kahneman: The 'Zeidy' of Behavioral Economics By Jonathan I. Shenkman

On March 27, we lost Daniel Kahneman, a giant in the world of personal finance. Kahneman was not a financier, tax advisor, or estate planning attorney. He was a trained psychologist and, fun fact, the nephew of Rabbi Yosef Shlomo Kahaneman, the former head of the Ponevezh Yeshiva. Yet his impact on the world of wealth management was vast. He was a pioneer in the field of behavioral economics and was awarded the 2002 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences shared with Vernon L. Smith for his work in this area.
