Road Work
Told by Chessed Halberstam
The Rebbe requested that I try to see to it that the Rebbetzin gets out of the house every day for fresh air. Usually, we would drive out to a park in Long Island. In the years that my son, Ari (may he rest well with HaShem) was a young child, we would often drive by his school on Ocean Parkway to take him along; the Rebbetzin enjoyed playing with him, pushing him on the swings in the park playground, etc.
One day, as we neared the park, we found our regular route closed off due to road work, and were forced to proceed instead on a parallel street. As we drove along that street, we heard the sound of a woman screaming in Russian. When I stopped at the next traffic light, the Rebbetzin turned to me and said: “I heard a woman screaming. Can you go back and see what that was about?”

Story Section:
Being Put To The Test
Rabbi David Pinto Shlita

The following story, which took place in the Israeli city of Holon, stuns everyone who hears it. It makes people realize that there is a G-d in Israel, that there is a Judge, a judgment, and that a person can’t do whatever he wants.

A man once hired a carpenter to do some work in his home. He was a skilled craftsman who did particularly good work, and the man gave him the keys to his house, allowing him to work even when nobody was at home.
One day, while the carpenter was still in the home, the man arrived and made a serious accusation: He said that an expensive jewel belonging to his wife had been on a table in the hallway, and that witnesses had even seen it that very same morning. “Since no one but you has been here since then,” the man said, “we suspect that you stole it and we want you to give it back.” the crime. When the carpenter refused to pay the man, he brought him to court.

Parasha Terumah is the first parasha of the cure before the disease of idol worship.
There are 5 parashiot prior to the end of the Sefer Shemot - Names, which is Exodus.

The first of the five is this weekly Parasha called Terumah which acts as the cure through erecting a barrier against external negativity. Next week the Parasha Tetzeveh acts as a cure through erecting a barrier against the internal negativity which is the strongest aspects. The third week we have the parasha of Ki Tisa which acts as a vaccine against the disease of idol worship. The 4th weekly parasha is Vayakhel which is the removal of the external aspect of negativity. The fifth weekly parasha removes the internal negativity.

Now that we understand the 5 weekly parashiot let us focus on the first week of Terumah.

Terumah translates as "contribution". The question is is this contribution for your tithing obligation or your opportunity for "saving your life" Tzedakah?
Terumah can be parsed into Teru and Mah. Mah translates as "what". Teru has many meanings. Among them are the verbs "to permit" - "to unleash" - "to unwind" - "to unbind". Thus the two words Mah and Teru can be translated as "What is Permitted by Him or What is Unleashed by Him or What is Unbound by Him"? The word im" refers to Zeir Anpin which is Mankind or HaShem. The decision is yours. What path do you follow Torah or the secular world?

Don't mistake what i am saying. One can live a Torah life while living in the secular world. It is just more difficult. Yet that is the choice we are expected to make. That is the balanced life. Without that balance we will keep coming back lifetime after lifetime, making the same mistakes. It is time to get off this track. Are you interested?
Shabbat Shalom
