Pesach - Cutting corners
One year, R' Velvel Brisker (1887-1959) and his brother, R' Moshe, went to
“How was that possible?” they asked him in wonderment.
The man explained that rather than looking for perfect matches, he simply broke off corners wherever necessary and put the remaining pieces together!
R' Velvel turned to his brother and commented:
“This is also true in answering Halachic questions. There are two ways - the right way, which is to carefully and meticulously put together all of the necessary pieces, and the wrong way, which is to twist and turn things and to cut corners until everything appears to fit!!
Have a kosher Pesach!!
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi

If you notice any tallesim which are torn or damaged in any way, please leave them on top of the bookcase where the tallesim are kept so that we can repair them.
SECURITY ALERT
In an effort to “harden the target,” we have installed a combination lock on the shul’s front door and thousands of dollars of surveillance equipment, cameras, and security guards. Every member of shul should know the combination (it is written in simple Hebrew next to the lock!) and the door should be kept closed at all times.
ON GUARD
We all feel very happy and safe on Shabbos thanks to Matcal, our Israeli security patrol, which also advises us on security matters. However, we are down to our last $200 for Security, which won’t last us more than a few weeks. We ask that you please contribute toward this fund so that we can continue this very valuable service uninterrupted through Pesach and the summer months. Contact Tamar or drop off a check at the Aish office marked “Shabbos Security.”
