In this week's parsha, Vaera, we see Moshe and Aharon listed in different order in back-to-back p'sukim (verses), first as Aharon and Moshe (6:26) and then as Moshe and Aharon (6:27). The sages teach us that both were equally great. But how is this possible, with Moshe being at such a high level of prophesy? R' Moshe Feinstein gives two reasons: Aharon made it possible for Moshe to achieve what he did, and Aharon, like Moshe, also reached his full potential.

Unclaimed Property
Rabbi Block's 8th Grade Gemara class has been learning about the status of lost items unbeknownst to their owner (
Yiush Shelo Mid'aat
) in Jewish law. To bring the concept closer to home, the class invited RMBA Business Manager, Bob Richard to access unclaimed and previously unknown funds belonging to Beren Academy on the website of the Texas State Comptroller to the tune of $650. Students then used the website to locate some of the 2 billion dollars unclaimed by Texas residents that might belong to their family.
