This Week's Dvar Torah: "Turning Curses Into Blessings"
  The Torah has great relevance to all current events. It is not a book of history but it is rather a book about humankind - its greatness and evil, wisdom and creativity and its pettiness and foolishness.

AMUD Insights 
Brachos 11b     "Putting Torah In Its Proper Place"   
Rabbi Yaakov Berkowitz
   Birchas HaTorah . We say it every morning, but do we fully appreciate what we are doing?  We know its makeup but do we realize its potency? The gemara on this week's amud informs us of a dispute between the sages of the Talmud as to what the proper blessing prior to learning Torah is. The gemara concludes that because it is a matter of dispute, we shall say all three of them. This blessing, however, is not like any other blessing we make before other mitzvos .
