"Shabbat by Halves"

"After a lot of thought, I decided to close my store on Saturday, even though I had calculated that I would lose $30,000 a month. However, I still planned to work until late Friday night."

Why this week? In the Torah reading, Ki Tisa (Ex. 31:12-17), some benefits of observing Shabbat are described.

"Another Purim 26 Days Before Purim"

This royal reception could have continued successfully for many years had it not been for one of the king's ministers, who hated the Jews and was deeply disturbed by the king's fondness for them.

Why this week? This Friday is the general Festival of Purim.
