Time for Some Good News

Shabbat Tzav - 15 Adar II / March 22

With all the shocking reports of corruption and the abuse of power reported in the media recently, I thought it worthwhile to share with you a recent New York Times article about an Orthodox Jewish Principal who totally transformed a school in New York City.

Junior High School 22, in the South Bronx, had run through six principals in just over two years when Shimon Waronker was named the seventh.

On his first visit, in October 2004, he found a police officer arresting a student and calling for backup to handle the swelling crowd. Students roamed the hallways with abandon; in one class of 30, only 5 students had bothered to show up.

On behalf of Rebbetzen Henya and all of us at South Head, best wishes for a great Shabbos and a truly happy and joyous Purim,

Rabbi Benzion Milecki OAM

Special Prayers


In view of the unstable state of the entire world at this time, I urge everyone to recite the following prayers, which according to the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of blessed memory, have the ability to steady a shaky world


At the beginning of the day, the following should be recited:


Behold I accept upon myself the positive commandment, "You shall love your neighbour as yourself."

One should say these next verses after one's prayers every day. Or if, for some reason one doesn't pray, then at least these verses should be recited:

Do not fear sudden terror, nor the destruction of the wicked when it comes. Contrive a scheme, but it will be foiled; conspire a plot, but it will not materialize, for G-d is with us. To your old age I am [with you]; to your hoary years I will sustain you; I have made you, and I will carry you; I will sustain you and deliver you. Indeed, the righteous will extol Your Name; the upright will dwell securely in Your presence.
