Since the primary sin of the Golden Calf
was that they wanted to be autonomous
and act based on their own knowledge
and wisdom and they performed an act
that they were not commanded, when the
Mishkan, which was to atone for their
sin, was built, it says regarding everything
that they did as Hashem commanded.
Their entire intent was only to do what
Hashem commanded and they did so only
because Hashem commanded them, not
because their own thoughts led them to
that conclusion, and this is what atoned
for the sin of the Golden Calf.

Meet Zeva Abrakhimova, a current Yeshiva University
senior. Zeva will be graduating with a degree in chemistry
and will be attending dental school in the Fall. She
is among the 90% who are employed, in graduate
school - or both - within six months of graduation*. With
nearly double the national average acceptance rates to
medical school, 97% acceptance to law schools and
placements at Big Four accounting firms, banks and
consulting firms, the numbers speak for themselves.

If your son shall ask you tomorrow
saying: What are the testimonies,
statutes and laws that God our Lord
commanded you.
Deut. 6:20
What is the relevance of the ostensibly
superfluous word machar, tomorrow,
which is found both in reference to
the wise and simple sons, but not the
wicked?
The Kli Yakar (Exodus 13:14)
suggests that the term machar
implies that the wise child only asks
ex-post-facto, after having actively
participated in the commandments.
His observance is not conditional
upon someone proving the existence
of God to him. The wise child is the
epitome of the Sinai generation who

Empowering Children to Ask
Difficult Questions
This is an important concept in
Jewish education. For millennia we
have taught our young children to
go through the motions of reciting
blessings, prayers and fulfilling rituals
at an early age even though they
do not fully understand the reason or

biggest challenge here in Israel
is the language. Even after eight

No Sundays (or Shabbat Sheni Shel

We are blessed that our children look
for every opportunity to get together.
In Israel this is particularly daunting
since there are no Sundays off and the
children go to school six days a week.
They really appreciate Chol Hamoed
and summer vacations when they have
a block of days with no school.
Financial Struggles
Many olim take a big cut in salary
to live in Israel. Living on an Israeli
salary is not so easy. Real estate
prices in prime areas are exorbitant.
Although some of our children in
Israel work for less pay than they
received in the U.S., they enjoy and
appreciate their quality of life.
Healthcare System
Our children have, for the most part,
done well with their various healthcare providers in the Israeli socialized
medicine system, Baruch Hashem.
Occasionally, one needs to wait a
long time for a referral to a doctor or
specialist. Our mentality for medical
treatment is: if you need it, get it.
Sometimes we have encouraged the
children to go to a private doctor
at our expense so that they can be
attended to in a timely manner. We
have occasionally called on the kind

children, to consult about certain
