"The Conflicted Tailor"
He looked for ways to increase his meager income but never succeeded.
When he couldn't stand his desperate economic situation any longer, he
went to the tzadik , the "Ohev Yisrael" of Apta.
Why this Week? This week's Torah reading contains many commandments.
One striking prohibition is to not wear a garment with a wool and linen
mixture.

"Jobless, Twenty-Seven Years Old, and Single"
"I decided to do regular army service. To be honest," she said
with a smile, "I just wanted to be able to have an excuse to trade
in my skirts for pants!"
Why this week? This week's Torah reading opens with: "Judges and
police you should have in all your communities"
Why this week? Kashrut is a major concern in this week's Torah reading,
Re'ey.

"It's Shabbat - Let's Dance!"
On their way home from shul, his host turned to the Baal Shem Tov and
said, "I want you to know that I eat the Shabbat meal together with
my wife at the table. I hope you don't mind."
Why this week? This Shabbat, 18 ELUL, is the birthdate of the Baal Shem
Tov and the anniversary of his first revealing the Chassidic movement.
