Until
his death in 1969, Rabbi Yosef-Shlomo Kaheneman, would annually visit
Miami Beach, Florida, to raise funds for his Yeshiva in Israel. As
his love for every single Jew was apparent at all times, the wealthy
donors looked forward to his visits in their homes.

Insight of the
Week
29 CHESHVAN 5787 / Nov. 9, 2026
Esau, the son
of Isaac, is called "a man of the field," for his interest
lay only in mundane and worldly affairs; his whole desire was only
for physical pleasures.
Jacob's
only interest was in spiritual matters; all of his thoughts centered
on how to elevate and improve himself, as it is stated, "A person
should be kind to people and devoted to G-d."
