This Week's Dvar Torah:
"The Challenges of a Meaningful Elul"
By Rabbi Shaya Mintz
 
   As Elul is now upon us, and a new Kollel session has begun, it is that time of year again.   
Elul is the time when we take stock. We don't only look at our day-to- day activities, but it is a time to reflect and take notice of our direction:   Where am I headed? What paths am I traveling down? Where is my compass facing? Are my goals aligned with the Torah? Are my relationships with my family getting stronger or weaker? Have I given enough of myself and my resources to the community? What can I do to get more involved? 
 
AMUD Insights 
Brachos 15a  Rabbi Yaakov Berkowitz
"Commitments, Commandments & Crowning The King"    
 
In the beginning of this week's amud we learned in the name of Ulah: "if one recites the [morning] shema while not wearing tefillin it is tantamount to uttering false testimony upon himself". Rashi (1040-1105) explains that "false testimony about himself" referenced in the gemara is actually a euphemism for G-d; that the falsehood is about G-d.
