A Religious Bird ?

The Torah tells us of a bird called Chasida which translates into the kind / generous / pious bird. But surprizingly the Torah says it is unkosher ??
The Talmud explains that the name is due to its habit to be kind to its associates. But then why is it unkosher ? This is explained because it limits itself only to those. To others it is cruel which exposes it to be a fraud & a lesson for us to be kind to all.

Food smart

The Torah teaches us which foods we may eat & which we must avoid. This serves as a model to remind us that we can control our diet & benefit greatly.
We can maintain a healthy weight & eat the kinds of foods that will provide us with energy , strength & spiritual lessons.
When we follow Hashems rules He helps us succeed.

The Day After

Why is the day after a holiday so significant that we are required to celebrate with food & drink ? Why is it considered , in some ways , even greater than the festival itself ? See Succah 45b

This is how we demonstrate our regret & reluctance that the Chag is over. We wish it could be longer.

Today may also be a good time for you to check out our new website and to let us know how we can improve it for your benefit. Thank you.
