Editor's Note:

Dear readers,

Once, while out on a brisk walk, someone shouted at me, "Why are you walking? Run!"

Run! Run! It sounds good. It will, no doubt, make my daily exercise shorter and more intense. The same could be said for dieting. Drink vegetable shakes for ten days, and you are sure to lose 20 pounds. Starve yourself, and you are sure to lose even more. But the effect would be very short-lived; the diet will not last long, and you will have stopped running after a few days. Yet there is a better way that will have a much greater effect on your life. The goal is to create a sustainable healthy lifestyle, one small change at a time.

In life, we need to be actively moving, rising, improving, adding more Torah observance [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=BA2A7B5797BBB69A1C9DD8E85CB986D8&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] and goodness in our daily lives. After having celebrated G‑d's giving us the Torah at Sinai, we recognize that at this time we need to improve—yet we need to do it the right way.

What to Do with a Stale Mate (By Yossy Goldman)

The Antidote to Stupidity (By Levi Avtzon)

SOCIETY AND LIVING

The Role of Women in Judaism (By Sara Esther Crispe)


I wanted to celebrate the differences inherent in the sexes, rather than diminish them. To unravel the mysteries of what it meant to be a woman . . . what it meant to be a Jewish woman . . .

I Need a Rabbi? (By Bob Meyerson)


My wife and I had been in Montana for only a few short months. How did they find us? And, more importantly, why did they make the three-hour round trip?

We Are What We Think (By Sara Esther Crispe)
