"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.

and Umbrellas on a Sunny Dry Day in Tiberias"
