After an amazing kick off Shabbos Kodesh in upstate Beaver Lake, I've decided to make a blog to update the Chevra about future get togethers.I hope that we can get together AT LEAST once a month. Whether be for a Shabbos, or a Shalosh Seudos, Melalve Malka or even a Rosh Chodesh Farbrengen....feel free to email me or to post ideas!! JakeSberman@gmail.com

Have a great day.

Dear friends,

רעב גרשון שווארץ thought that we should just post on the blog something nice and inspiring such as Hey guys, have a great day!!
maybe something that can also help our day, is to think about how every single mitzvah we do has consequences we cant even imagine. This can be displayed through a "little" מעשה from the בעל שם טוב-

A man who went around bragging about how he never does מצוות came to the בעל שם טוב and said
"i have proof that your תורה is false",
the בעל שם responded, "how so?
The man said back "it says in קריאת שמע that 'ה will reward those who do his מצוות and will smite those who do not, and I, I pride myself in never doing מצוות, and I am as rich as they come! Therefore i conclude that your תורה, is false."
The בעל שם brightly responded
"I see that you know what it says in קריאת שמע, must be that you've read it before, קריאת שמע is a מצוה דאורייתא, and perhaps, that one and only time you read קריאת שמע gave you the blessing you have today, therefore i conclude that I KNOW our תורה is true."

From here we see the power of just one מצוה, whether it be puting on תפילין, davening, learning and hour, kal vchomer, many, we should all just feel so good about ourselves that we have the ability to do not only one mitzvah, but many throughout the day.

Have a great day
