A Tsadik’s Prayer – Toldos
Breishis 25:21 “and Yitzchok implored HaShem….”
Rashi: HaShem listened to his prayer
Rav Zilberman tells the following story of an incident that happened when he
was learning in Yeshivas Etz Chaim in Yerushalayim. He had discovered that
one night Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, who was the Mashgiach in the Yeshiva had
not slept the entire night. Apparently what had happened was that late at night a
woman had shown up at the door of the great sage. When Rav Isser Zalman
had answered the knocking at the door there stood a very distraught woman
before him. Rav Isser Zalman inquired why she had come to visit him.
“I love my husband very much,” she wept, “but I am afraid that if I do not
have any children he will divorce me!”
“Do not be concerned,” replied the Gaon “ I will pray for you and you will
have a child and I will be the Sandek at his Bris.”
He remained awake for the rest of the night praying that this woman whom
he had just met would have a child.
A year later he was the sandek at the couple’s first bris!

Advanced Halachic Bulletin
There are different customs in regards to how long we keep between eating meat and milk. Some keep six full hours, others keep 5 ½ hours, yet others keep into the sixth hour. Whatever the custom, we count from the time the last bite of meat was eaten, and not from the time when you Bentch. However you must Bentch before you eat milk, even if six hours passed from your last bite of meat.
Have a great Shabbos!

A Miraculous War -
Breishis
Rashi: This was Eliezar
Usually, the crewman of the Hanit would eat Friday night dinner in two shifts,
but tonight, since they we were in a war zone, three religious crewmen went to
the captain and begged that everyone be allowed to pray together. Suprisingly,
he agreed to leave only four sailors on the bridge while allowing the rest of the
crew to pray together. Everyone piled into the chapel and davened Mincha and
Kabbalas Shabbas.
One of the crewman, Moshe was bored and just wanted to eat quickly to catch
a few hours sleep, because he had
the rest of the crew. Finally, all 15 sailors sat down for the Shabbos meal
together. Everyone said Kiddush, even those who were not observant. Just as
they were bentching the missile hit! It should have sank the boat, but somehow
it landed at the far end, away from where they were eating and landed on a
crane right above the helicopter refueling tank which was filled to the gills with
chopper fuel which somehow didn’t explode despite the fact that the whole end
of the boat was burned! At least twenty crewmen aboard the Hanit should have
been killed, but were saved by the Shabbos dinner on the other end of the ship!
Moshe ran to his bunk on the deck right below the landing pad. It was
charcoal, completely melted down and all of his possessions were ashes. If he
hadn’t been detained in the chapel for prayers and in the dining hall for Shabbos
dinner, he would have been charcoal too! The engine room was burnt to a
crisp but a pair of Tefillin was found unscathed. If that’s not enough, amidst the
embers of destruction, the sailors found a Tehillim, also unscathed, opened to
Psalm 124!
The Hanit was the Israeli ship that took a direct hit from a Hizbulla missile off
the coast of
Moshe also took a direct hit and has became more observant as a result.

WOMEN'S TEHILLIM
A few precious minutes can make a difference!
Every Wed.
Please continue to daven for Leah Tova bas Sara.
This week's reading is
Advanced Halachic Bulletin
The prohibition of walking 6 feet without washing hands in the morning is not mentioned in the Gemara or any early Halachic sources. Therefore our custom is to rely on the opinion of the R' Shimon ben Elazar in Brochos 25b who says that an entire house is considered like 4 amos.
Mishne Brura 1:2 Based on the Zohar, is stringent in this matter, except in pressing cases. Note that the leniency would not apply when sleeping in the open such as on a camping trip or if one needs to walk more than 6 feet outside one’s dwelling before washing.
The main problem is delaying removing the spirit of impurity that rests on the hands during the night’s sleep. Therefore upon wakening you should not wait in bed until someone can bring water within 6 feet, or walk more than 6 feet in small increments. One should also not put off going to the bathroom, if it is difficult to wait, in order to first wash one’s hands, because it is forbidden to delay going to the bathroom when one has an acute need.
