Tetzave – A noteworthy speech
Rav Chaim Brim z’tl was once invited to speak at an event. The speaker who preceded Rav Chaim at the event used notes that he constantly referred to as he spoke. Rav Chaim was then called up to speak, and he also referred to his notes as he spoke. When he finished speaking and left the podium, he forgot to take his notes with him. When the event was over, someone straightened up the room and he found the notes which R’ Chaim Brim had left at the podium. Much to his astonishment, he saw that the “notes” were blank pieces of paper. After a few moments he realized what had occurred. Rav Chaim was known for his exquisite sensitivity to the feelings of others. When he had observed that the first speaker had referred to notes as he spoke, he was concerned that he would embarrass him if he then spoke without notes. Therefore he decided to refer to his “notes” as he spoke as well!
Good Shabbos,
R’ Cohen
Advanced Halachic Bulletin
Rav Moshe Feinstein writes in Igros Moshe Yoreh Deah 3:147:2 that if a dead person is cremated, either because he requested it, or even if his children had this done to him, his ashes should not be buried in a Jewish cemetery. Moreover ashes of any niftar never need to be buried.

SHABBOS: THE 48 WAYS
R
Michael Abramson’s “Drop of InspirAISHon”
One of the first ideas I heard from Rav Noach, zt”l, was that the opposite of pain is not pleasure; pain (effort) is the price you pay for pleasure, so the opposite of pain is “no pain.” If you want to experience the most out of life, you have to be willing take the pain that inevitably comes with personal growth and change. The relationship you build with Ha’Shem- the, transcendent pleasure of the infinite, involves changing the way you dress, eat, who you marry and how you raise your kids (not to mention learning Hebrew, Aramaic and Rashi script!). Each stage of life brings with it new opportunities, which call for new types of effort. So, I think we can identify with the Navy SEALS’ motto: “The only easy day was yesterday…”
