  Moving Images, Moving People! — Authority: 128

  Moving Images, Moving People! — Authority: 128
  This is one of the most memorable cartoons about the Asian Tsunami of December 2004. It was drawn by Jim Morin, the Pulitzer Prize winning editorial cartoonist of the Miami Herald.

• The key to understanding Torah

  
  A Chassidishe farbrengen — Authority: 117
  A common mistake is made when people study Torah. They treat it as a collection of thought-provoking topics for intellectual discussion and heated debate, or as a storehouse of insightful stories and witty sayings. But a Jew doesn’t learn Torah in order to stimulate his mind—or at least, he shouldn’t. He ought ...

  Story Tour — Authority: 116
  The Rambam makes the following fascinating observation upon his conclusion of the halachos of Chanukah, in his Mishneh Torah.   If one has insufficient funds for both Shabbos candles and for Chanukah candles, or for Shabbos candles and wine for Kiddush, Shabbos candles take precedence, because of the shalom ...
