| | | | | The Proper Time for Lighting Chanukah Candles On Erev Shabbat Praying Mincha Before Lighting Candles
On the Friday afternoon of Chanukah, it is preferable to pray Mincha before lighting the Chanukah candles. The reason for this is because the Mincha prayer was established in the place of the daily "Tamid" sacrifice that was brought in the Bet Hamikdash every afternoon, while lighting Chanukah candles was established in commemoration of the miracle that occurred regarding the Menorah of the Temple. The order of the service in the Temple was that the Tamid sacrifice was brought first and only following this was the Menorah lit. It is only suitable then that Mincha should be prayed before the candles are lit. Therefore, many have the custom to pray Mincha earlier on Friday after which they go home to prepare for Shabbat, light the Chanukah candles, and finally return to synagogue to pray Kabbalat Shabbat and Arvit. https://halachayomit.co.il/en/... | | | | | | | 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.

But what if, one day soon, you could commute by flying your vehicle through the sky instead of being stuck in endless lines of cars? An Israeli company called AIR is working to make that a reality. The startup is developing what it describes as a "flying car," a two-seat, electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft that it hopes will launch in the United States by this time next year. Unlike traditional aircraft, AIR's vehicle is designed for everyday use and individual ownership. The idea is to make daily personal travel as simple as driving a car: taking off and landing on any flat surface, and then folding its wings so it can fit into an ordinary parking spot. | | | | | | (L-R) AIR marketing manager Gil Charnes and CEO Rani Plaut.

Overlooking the Sea of Galilee lies a prehistoric village, where a team of archaeologists uncovered a clay figurine dating back 12,000 years, unlike anything previously found. Uncovered by professionals at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, archaeologists say that a symbolic figurine uncovered shows a mythological or ritual scene, giving a glimpse into the spiritual world of early communities in Southwest Asia. At the site of Nahal Ein Gev II (NEG II), this figurine is the earliest known item depicting human and animal interaction, in a project led by Dr. Laurent Davin and professors Leore Grosman and Natalie Munro. Associated with the Institute of Archaeology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, their findings were originally published in PNAS, in a study that combined advanced analytical techniques to reconstruct both its physical composition and its cultural meaning and significance. Measuring at 3.7 centimeters tall, the figurine was made of clay and finished with heat around 400°C. https://www.jpost.com/israel-n... | | | | Is Leaving Your Phone Plugged In Bad for the Battery?

Love Yehuda Lave | | | | | | The Portion of Miketz After Joseph had been sent to prison by Potifar he deciphered the dreams of Pharoh's Chief Butler and Chief Baker. When Pharoh learned of Joseph's ability to interpret dreams, he immediately had Joseph brought to him and asked him to explain his dreams of the 7 sheaves and the 7 cows. Joseph interpreted Pharoh's dreams and Pharoh appointed him to the position of viceroy and changed his name to Tzafnat Paneiach (he who reveals hidden things). In Torah scrolls, scribes emphasize the letter "Pei" in the words "Tzafnat" and "Paneiach" to call attention to Joseph's special attributes
