A Word from Rabbi Moshe Cohen:
Y’mach Shmo: Achrei Mos – Kedoshim
Vayikra
The Avnei Nezer, one of the Torah giants in
”May his name be erased and his memory eradicated form the Jewish people!”
The Rav quietly explained:
“In Shulchan Aruch the law is recorded that the wife of a heretic who dies without children has to undergo Chalitza (dissolution of a Levirite marriage). This process is in substitution for Yibum (levirate marriage) and the Torah states in regard to Yibum that the name of the deceased should not be erased. Why would you desire something that the Torah does not, and wish this person’s name to be obliterated?
KIDDUSH SPONSORSHIP
Travis and Nikita Putnam are sponsoring Kiddush in honor of our mom, Hilary Lazarus, for a beautiful & spirit filled wedding in
Lou Kemp is sponsoring Kiddush in memory of his father Avraham ben Aharon HaCohen’s 40th Yarzheit.

A Word from Rabbi
Tazria: Self Deprecation is also Lashon Hora
R Yisroel Meir Kagan of Radin, known to all as the Chofetz Chaim, was once riding a train to Radin. He wore a simple cap and traveled alone, and hardly anyone knew who he was. A middle-aged Jew sat down beside him and asked him where he was going. The Chofetz Chaim answered softly, "to Radin."
The man was excited. "Do you know the saintly Chofetz Chaim? I am going to Radin just to see him!"
The Chofetz Chaim was unimpressed. "M'nyeh," he shrugged. "I don't think he is so saintly."
The visitor was so appalled that he slapped the old man and left his seat shouting. "How dare you make light of the leader of our generation!"
A week later the man came to the humble abode of the great Tzaddik. Lo and behold, the old man from the train was sitting by the table in the diningroom. The man collapsed in shock. He could not stop apologizing for the incident on the train when the Chofetz Chaim halted him.
"Do not worry, you taught me a great lesson," said the sage. "One may not even slander himself."
SEUDAH SHLISHIS SPONSORSHIP
Ze’ev and Shoshana Weinstein are sponsoring Seudah Shlishis in memory of Shoshana’s father, Chaviv ben Yichezkel’s Yarzheit.
Rick, Jill, Benjamin and Meir Kahn are sponsoring Seudah Shlishis in memory of the 7th Yarzheit of Rick’s father, Meir ben Benyamin HaCohen.

HALACHIC BULLETIN
If you forgot to count Sefira at night, you may still count throughout the following day without a Brocho. You may then continue to count on the following evenings with a Brocho. If you forgot to count on a Thursday night but remembered to do so on Friday afternoon after Kabbalas Shabbos and Maariv but before sunset, you may count on the following days with a Brocho.
Have a great Shabbos!
