Aside from their familiar use in the service at the opening and closing of the Ark, two verses from the sedra B'ha'alot'cha are unique. For, in the majority of Torah scrolls Bamidbar l0:35-36 is encased between two critical marks, each taking the form of an inverted nun, as if they are in parenthesis. Rabbi Y'hudah Hanasi said this is because it is an important book standing by itself. Sofer Sta"M Marc Michaels examines this unique visual midrash and provides a commentary that attempts to explain why Sefer Binsoa should be considered important and what lessons it might hold for us today.

Too much screen time can be a bad thing for everyone! Will Popplethewaite ever understand why the children playing are so happy? Will the children rescue their Warm Fuzzy from his clutches? Or will they spend too much time staring at their E-Fuzzies to care? Find out in the 'The E-FUZZY'. A sequel to the excellent 'Original Warm Fuzzy Tale' by Claude M. Steiner. Written with kind permission of the original author. The positives of social interaction, good deeds, work-life balance and community, together with the dangers of too much screen time, impaired cognitive development, social isolation, unethical business practices and corporate greed are themes explored along the way in this cautionary TALE FOR EVERYONE. Illustrated throughout. And, yes, I am aware of the irony of publishing the E-Fuzzy as an e-book, but as you will read - they aren't bad in themselves ... just misunderstood.
