Word switch - 39
The word Shefa means an abundance of blessings , the word pesha means sins.
If the mouth is left without control it leads to sin , thus if the Peh / mouth comes first we have pesha.
If we place shtika first , with a shin for silence & mouth control - we have Shefa.
That is why Mishlei 10:18 says
With excessive speech one cannot refrain from pesha.

Every word we say can be in a positive way or negative.
Good or not bad !
Half full or half empty. !
Kosher , not kosher or treifa.
Its not true , its a lie.
The Talmud teaches that the one who always used the positive became a great Torah sage.
Why ?
Words are decisions.
To tell someone something is not kosher is better than saying it is treif. It is more caring & less hurtful.

Why ?
Words are like name labels , they also influence the person. Even the clothing we wear influences a person , the words we speak surely change us , word by word. As we use kind & gentle words , we become more like that.
A person was created in Hashems image. He also has certain animilistic tendencies in order to challenge him to grow.
Now it is true that Hashem created all , even non kosher animals & there are many lessons we learn from them , such as - be strong as a lion to fulfill the will of your Heavenly Father. But Kosher animals were permitted for food in order to provide us with energy in order to study Torah.

The fence for Wisdom is
Silence. Avos 3:13.
Silence. Avos 3:13.
There are many reasons for this & thus many benefits that are derived from it.
1- Words are so precious , they should never be wasted. They reveal who we are & form who we become. One who uses 4 words to say something that can be said in 2 is diluting ones thinking ability & weakening ones focus. Silence protects & insures our thinking.
2-The primary reason for speech control is - one who is wise , or one who desires to gain wisdom , does not speak in the presence of one who is greater. Avos 5:7.
Thus the practice of silence , even for a moment , can help us in training ourselves to be aware of Hashem which is the greatest form of WISDOM.

Subject: FW: FW: Blood clots and strokes
Please pass on - blood clots and strokes....please read and remember!!
Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue
I will continue to forward this every time it comes around, some things are too important not to share!
STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters....
S. T. R.
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a BBQ, a woman stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) .she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.
They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening
Jane's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital -
(at 6:00 pm Jane passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Jane would be with &nbs p;us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.
It only takes a minute to read this....
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, whic h is tough.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR .
Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S *Ask the individual to SMILE.
T *Ask the person to TALK an d SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
( It is sunny out today.)
R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
< /FONT>
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue... If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other, that is also an indication of a stroke.
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.
I have done my part.
Will you?

We learn from Parshas Korach how not to fight an issue.
Not to fight against ...
Korach could have offered Moshe Rabeinu to assist him in running the programs.

Torah , Avoda & Chesed.
Torah is our guide , follow its directions not the eyes.
Avoda connects with Tzitzis which is our uniform to reminds us that we are servants of

Subject: Now You Cry?
Within a few hours, two people came up to me with the same story. Actually, they were entirely different cases, totally different details, but the story is the same.
I put tefillin on a man from England. I did not think that he was Jewish. I had to ask him twice. After finishing with the tefillin, he said that he had an urgent mission. He reached into his wallet and pulled out a small note.
“This is from my father,” he said. “My father is very religious. He goes to synagogue every day. He wants very badly to put this note in the Kotel. He wants G-d to help him with this. This is very important to him.”
“So, go put it between the stones.” I told him.
He wanted me to understand how important the note was. “My father has a great problem. It’s his daughter…He hasn’t spoken to her in over a year….”
“What’s the problem?” I asked. “Is she with a non-Jewish guy?”
“A Muslim,” he answered, meaning that it was even worse. “This is so important to my father.” He insisted again. “My father is so upset. Please put the note in the Wall.”
I asked if his father raised his daughter with her knowing that she had to marry only a Jew.”
“He ignored her, mostly,” he answered. Then he quickly added, “But this is so important to him.”
I told him to go put the note between the stones, tell G-d the problem, and pray that He will help. But I added, “The time to take care of these problems is before they happen, not after they are living together.”
The second case was that of a friend of mine who lives here in the Old City. His brother just passed away, and his wife and children are about to bury him in a non-Jewish cemetery! His mother is fighting this with all her might, and my friend and his wife just flew back to the States to try to make sure that he receives a Jewish burial. There is going to be a Judge’s decision on the matter.
What’s the story? The man was married to a non-Jewish woman, and had non-Jewish children with her. Well, unless there is a huge miracle, and please G-d there will be, surely, the judge is going to side with his non-Jewish family.
The question we have to ask is, why does the family wait until it is too late before they get excited enough to try to heal these situations?
I am sharing these stories with you so that you will take the proper steps before it is too late. First off, for yourself, decide that you want to have a Jewish family. Surely, you also want your children to have Jewish families, after all, their children are your family, too. Do you love your brothers, sisters, and other close relatives? Then you have to help them, too. And, even beyond your family, you should also try to influence your friends and acquaintances. Remember, the time to try to help is not after it happens.
Teach your children that it is important to you to keep your family Jewish, and that can only happen if they marry Jews. You cannot spring this information on them after they start dating non-Jews.
It is a lot easier to keep the glass from breaking, than to pick up those sharp, broken pieces after it falls.

Dear Rabbi Goldberger, shlita
There's a website called GuardYourEyes.org that tries to encourage shmiras ainayim, prevent pornographic viewing online, and treat people addicted to pornography. They try to push the male public to have an Internet filter and to not know the password to the filter (which can be used to change the settings on the filter to watch inappropriate material). They recommend people typing a password impossible to remember and to send it to a "filter gabai" who will remember the password for them. (The purpose of the password is to allow kosher, blocked websites to be accessed; no filter is perfect.) They currently need a volunteer for this service. Please note that many of the people who'd be requesting this service from them are pornography addicts who may consider getting rid of the filter because of the major inconvenience associated with the filter. (Note: When they talk of requiring a 30-day sobriety, they mean of watching porn and acting out.) Here's their ad:

Looking for an Assistant Filter Gabai
We are looking for an Assistant Filter Gabai to help with saving people's passwords for them, make remote changes (using remote accessing software, such as TeamViewer and ShowMyPC), and offer people filtering advice... If you are interested in being trained into the job, please be in contact with either me at eyes.guard@gmail.com or the filter Gabai at filter.gye@gmail.com.
This is a tremendous chesed for people, and one day (when we have more funds) we plan on expanding this service by offering a 24 hour hot-line for advice and help with filters, both in Israel and the U.S. (Who knows? If you start now, you might one day get a paid job to do this).
To qualify for this volunteer job, we need someone computer savvy, with some knowledge of filters, and with a mobile-device that gets e-mails (so he can respond to urgent requests). Also, you should be married and sober for at least 30 days (preferably 90 days).

And so, when you dress in a dignified way, you become dignified. And that's why it's always important for men and women to remember, dignity in clothing. I was walking on Kings Highway, and from a distance I saw a woman approaching. Now everybody on Kings Highway is naked, it's a naked street. I thought it was a Rebbetzin coming. So I saw she was wearing a Sheitel , a well styled Sheitel, and a nice long dress, nice sleeves. But when she came close, everything was all right except one thing, she was black. I was thinking, this black woman, is Mechayev (obligates) all the Jewish women. Because now Hakadosh Baruch Hu says, if she dresses decently, you the children of the Chosen People, what's going to happen to you. She is Mechayev them. We have to learn how important it is to be dignified in dress. That's what Hakadosh Baruch Hu wants at all times. And that's going to change a man's inner behavior, his mind is attuned to his externality. Good Shabbos To All |

Thanking our Parents
The Rambam ( Mamrim ch. 5 ) teaches the law that if someone chas veshalam cursed a Parent , whether they are still alive or even after 120 , the sinner is put to death according to the Torah.
This teaches us how thankful we need to be always to our Parents who helped to give us life !

Linked Together
The Rambam seems to link together the 2 laws that a mourner
* may not wear Tefilin on the first day of mourning &
* he may not eat of his own food , others need to bring food.
* may not wear Tefilin on the first day of mourning &
* he may not eat of his own food , others need to bring food.
What is the connection ?
Perhaps it is due to the concept - if there is no Torah , there is no food.
Since he may not wear Tefilin the crown which also represents Torah & he may not study regular Torah , thus he is also limited in using his own food.

Subject: Great Miracle of the Volcano Shutdown -WOW
A universal crisis, millions of people stranded, billions of dollars lost, and one volcanic eruption in Iceland causes chaos across the European continent. Within all these tumult, one Jew merits a smile of loveliness from the Creator of the World, as if whispering to him - my son, the whole world was not created except for you כל העולם לא נברא אלא בשבילי.
The story begins with a young Yeshiva student, an 18 year old Yerushalmi, that came down with a fulminate hepatic failure and was mortally ill.
With little hope of receiving a liver transplant in Israel, Rav Firer sought to send the boy emergency to Brussels, the world center of liver transplants. The only problem however, is that Brussels under no circumstances transplants non-EU patients in order to save the scanty supply of livers for Europeans. Nevertheless, it was decided to send him to Brussels despite the full knowledge of negli gible chance of receiving a liver.
The young Yeshiva student had no choice but to include his name to the long waiting list for a liver transplant. In the meantime, he tried to maintain his learning despite the illness, consciously aware that it will takes weeks, months, and even years till he will be able to be given a new liver. Many patients were on the waiting list, and his name was somewhere on the bottom... And when his turn does finally arrive, it must completely match his blood type and other medical criteria. If it's not a perfect match, he will need to continue waiting ... for a miracle.
However, רבות מחשבות בלב איש ועצת ה' היא תקום Many thoughts in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of HaShem shall stand. HaShem had a different plan for this young Yeshiva student and HaShem's loyal servants produced avalanches of hot ash, rock and gas on Europe, causing Euro pe to completely shut down its skies into a no-fly zone. No one can leave and no one can enter; a self-imposed siege in the euro zone skies. It is during this time that a young religious Yerushalmi man in the capital of Belgium is sitting in the yeshiva learning Torah.
During the course of the shut down airspace above Europe, a person dies in the hospital in the capital of Belgium, a person whom agreed to donate his liver to anyone that might need it. Astonishingly, a liver that is perfectly parametric for our young Yeshiva student.
Health authority of Belgium began searching the liver transplant waiting list but 'unfortunately', not even one patient was able to fly into Belgium for the very needed healthy liver transplant due to a volcanic eruption in Iceland.
As they advanced further on the waiting list, they reached the young Yeshiva student. However it was not offered to the boy due to his lack of citizenship. As the clock closed in on t he deadline for time in which the the liver's lifespan for transplanting, the precious healthy liver cannot be wasted and must be swiftly replaced with a diseased liver, no one else was able to arrive in Belgium for the transplant except this young Yerushalmi.
With the clear Divine Intervention, this budding talmid chacham received the liver and is now recovering from surgery.
The enormity of this miracle was even greater after the successful liver transplant. The doctors said that the young yeshiva student's liver was very deteriorated and diseased and it was a matter of days his liver would stop functioning completely. The doctors unanimously believe that if this young man had to continue waiting for the liver transplant, he would have been long dead.

Subject: Good Job!
Dear Rabbi Goldberg:
I am writing to express my gratitude to you for taking the time and effort to write Good Job: Successful Strategies for Devoping Your Work Potential.
Not only is it wonderful to see an explication of the various Pirkei Avoth that are so often quoted, and reviewed during the summer months, but also to have a practical discussion of those many Avoth that can be applied to work.
I have already personally gained a great deal from reading the book, but will also suggest that it be shared with the organizations that help Jews to find jobs (OU [NYC], Agudah PCS [Brooklyn & Lakewood], Project Chizuk [Passaic], Jewish Vocational Service [East Orange, NJ])
At one time many of the practical issues you address were a part of both Jewish and American corporate culture. B'EH, we should all incorporate the values and attitudes you explain so clearly and be moved to learn the practical halakhoth which apply from Seder Nezikin.
Respectfully,
Jonah G. Sinowitz

B"H
The Rubashkin-Pesach petition you signed last week is not being used per the recommendation of community leaders, but they ask you to please sign this new petition ASAP, and to ask at least 10 contacts to sign!
It's urgent that you sign the NEW PETITION available at www.justiceforsholom.org
even if you already signed the Pesach petition!
It's critical that we have 50,000 signatures by Sunday - so that we can take the campaign to the press IY"H. Please get 10 friends to sign the petition! Don't rely on someone else...response has been poor...please take a minute now and do it.
Please also voice your concern by sending an email to Department of Justice:
oipl@usdoj.gov and copy pr@justiceforsholom.org
Check below to find a message you can forward to friends.
Time is of essence! The Prosecutor has to make their recommendation for sentencing on April 9th. It's imperative they know that Americans nationwide are deeply disturbed. Please act Now!!!! Thank you!
-----------------------------------------------
To all friends and constituents of Agudath Israel:
We have been working closely with Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin's lawyers and other organizations and askonim concerned about his incarceration and his upcoming sentencing, currently scheduled for April 28. This tragic case is at a critical juncture right now, and demands our attention and action even as we are all busy with Pesach.
In issuing this call to our friends and constituents, we are in no way condoning any criminal conduct. However, as detailed in the memo available at http://tinyurl.com/yj372kj prepared by a lawyer familiar with the case, it is clear that the federal government has been overly zealous in pursuing Mr. Rubashkin and has submitted him to considerably more severe restrictions and potential punishment than others in similar cases. The memo is quite an eye-opener, well worth reading despite its length.
The bottom line is that Mr. Rubashkin is being kept in jail pending sentencing, and is not even being allowed to go home for the Pesach sedorim next week, despite his willingness to post a large bond and hire a full-time guard. With respect to the sentencing, he faces the possibility of a very lengthy sentence - upward of 20 years, Rch'l - far beyond the sentences imposed on others whose crimes were significantly more severe than anything Mr. Rubashkin may have done.
We are therefore asking you, our friends and constituents, to take a few minutes during this zman cheiruseinu to communicate your respectful concern over the handling of the Rubashkin case, his incarceration pending sentencing, and the excessive sentence being considered.
Please make your concerns known to the Justice Department's Office of Intergovernmental and Public Liaison at 202-514-3465 or oipl@usdoj.gov . Also, if you are able, please sign the online petition available at www.justiceforsholom.org ; this petition will be forwarded to the U.S. Attorney's office in Iowa, which is prosecuting the Rubashkin case. We are hopeful that this expression of public support will have a positive impact on the case.
Many thanks. Best wishes for a chag kasher v'someiach. May we share besoros tovos.

Work will be done - is explained because Hashem runs the world.
