Editor's Note:
Dear readers,
Most buses and trains have small signs identifying a few convenient seats as reserved for elderly and handicapped people and others who need to sit. I like to believe that, as conscientious denizens of the planet, most of us try our best to give up our seat for those who need it more. After all, that is what people do.
I remember my pleasant surprise upon discovering that Israeli buses also have reserved seats, but there the little signs simply have a quote from this week's Torah reading: "You shall rise up before the aged."The second half of the verse, not found on the placard, reads, "And you shall fear your G‑d, I am the L‑rd." In other words, giving your seat on the subway is not just doing right to your fellow man (or woman); it is doing right to G-d.
To paraphrase the Baal Shem Tov, "We are G‑d's children. And if you love the father, you love the children. So loving G‑d means to love your fellow."
Enjoy your read!

Shatnez: A Mixture of Wool and Linen (By Aryeh Citron)
The reason for this prohibition is not clear. This mitzvah is a "chok"—a divine statute that defies (full) comprehension.

STORIES
Shlomo's Scales (By Tuvia Bolton)
It was a drastic move, but they felt they had no choice. They fasted and recited Psalms all day. Evoking ancient Kabbalistic formulas, they asked to be given a sign that night in their dreams.

The King's Friend (By Bentzion Elisha)
Unfamiliar with the sport, the rabbi fumbled with the rifle, and a shot accidentally escaped from the weapon. A bitter scream pierced the forest . . .

SEASONS OF THE SOUL
Is G-d My Doctor? (By Simcha Gottlieb)
In Judaism there appears to be, on the one hand, a significant legacy of practical medical teachings; and on the other hand, a strong tradition of eschewing medical intervention in favor of faith.

If the Torah tells us to fence in dangerous rooftops, obviously we need to deal with other potential hazards as well.
