According to his disposition

"Capacity to earn a living and support himself. The attainments which are to fit the child for its future career must include also such knowledge and skill as will one day assure him the possibility of becoming self-supporting as you have been, also of forming a circle round himself and bringing into it possessions of his own, and, from this circle and with these possessions, of living a full life of justice and love; and so transmitting to the next generation what he has received from you. Therefore you have to take thought that your child will be provided with some business, some craft, some art, some profession, according to his disposition. All are equally worthy, provided they are honest and honourable." Rav Samson Raphael Hirsch, Horeb 552

Kenes for Chol Hamoed Pesach

Kehillos Ashkenaz of Bene Brak is planning a Kenes for Chol Hamoed Pesach, we would like it to be on a much larger scale than previously with some excellent speakers who will tell the world in the name of Gedolei Hador about how important our project is to pass on our Masorah to the next generation.

In addition WE would like to have Chazanim and choirs and orchestras who could represent varios Kehilos worldwide. If you know anyone who may be interested in helping us organize this by joining our Kenes Commitee please forward them this email so that they can contact

The real inherited estate

"The Teaching which Moses commanded us" so runs the national creed which is to be the heritage of Israel from generation to generation. It is this Torah which is מורשה, the real inherited estate, not the Land and what if offers, the Teaching is the national Jewish heritage, land, and power are only the conditional consequences of this treasure." Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch, Commentary on Devarim 33:4
