This Week's Dvar Torah: 
 
"A Rosh Chodesh Adar Message:
Mishloach Manos - The Gift of Unity"
 
   Rosh Chodesh Adar begins this Saturday night, and that means Purim is only two weeks away. One of the mitzvahs that we have on Purim is that of "Mishloach Manos." We are required to send two items of food to one person on Purim. A number of different reasons are put forth as to why we send gifts of food to each other on Purim.
AMUD Insights 
Brachos 3a                      "Unity Opportunity" 
   This coming Sunday, February 26th, is the annual Kollel "Jewish Unity Live" event. Since the Amud-a-Week program unifies and the JUL event will be having a special Torah session as part of the program, I will take the liberty to use these lines to discuss unity in general, unity through Torah, and JUL 2017.
   " Achdus ", unity, is a term that is oft heard at many times throughout the Jewish calendar cycle. Around Tisha B'Av, Purim, Pesach, Sefiras HaOmer and beyond, unity is an ideal spoken about by Rabbis, speakers, and teachers alike. There is one aspect, however, that occasionally is overlooked. How do we achieve unity? As a nation, we have been struggling with disunity and sin'as chinam for close to two thousand years, since the destruction of the second Bais HaMikdash . Is there a specific recipe for unity and what are the ingredients?
