    that it should be up to the individual how much they can handle.

    However, personally I feel the latter two is more addictive than the newspaper reading.

    “Perhaps, but that should be up to the individual how much they can handle. Noone should get up publicly and say no to reading or listening to any bad news.”

    One can make the same argument vis-a-vis internet, texting, etc.

    Remember how Sara Imenu died after the “news” she was given…

    Remember how Serach bas Asher used music to soften the news…

    BTW, consistent bad news, if nothing else, usually desensitizes one to some extent…and/or can put one in a more negative frame of mind

    I’m confident you’ll be able to determine a few more erroneous answers…

    perhaps keep this as pba’s thread and either start another or continue on the previous one…

    -Do you find that you have the same kavana when absorbing other’s energy in shul vs. having your own spiritual energy?

    -Realize that you lose the opportunities of answering all the amens in kaddish, and kedusha, and thanking Hashem by modim d’rabonon

    -You lose the opportunity of doing hataras nedarim before davening (if your shul does it)

    -You lose the opportunity of giving and receiving brachos to the people davening there

    -You lose the opportunity of “mental” davening when the holy ark is opened

    The Yehi Ratzon is found at the end of most sifrei Tehillim and is said only after completing at least one sefer of the five, which correspond to one of the Torah’s five sfarim.

    The 150 kapitlach are divided into 5 sfarim:

    1. Sefer Rishon- 1-41 kineged Braishis

    2. Sefer Shaynee- 42-72 kineged Shmos

    3. Sefer Shlishi- 73-89 (a short one!) kineged Vayikra

    4. Sefer Revii- 90-106 (also short!) kineged Bamidbar

    5. Sefer Chamishi-107-150 kineged Dvarim

    There are two Yehi Ratzons: one for weekdays and a shortened one for Shabbos and YO”T.

    cinderella,

    What a beautiful, caring letter.

    “If only I would have said something sooner, maybe everything could have been avoided.”

    This is the one line that is troubling. You are somehow taking responsibility for the direction of her life. You were probably too young and your friend needed an adult to get involved.

    Who knows if it’s in the zchus of your tears that Hashem heard that He sent her assistance?

    A beautiful lesson….and a great message before Yom Kippur.

    The Carpenter


    Once upon a time, two brothers who lived on adjoining farms fell into conflict. It was the first serious rift in 40 years of farming side-by-side, sharing machinery and trading labor and goods as needed without a hitch.

    Then the long collaboration fell apart. It began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference and finally, it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.

    One morning there was a knock on Reuven’s door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter’s toolbox. “I ‘m looking for a few days’ work,” he said. “Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there I could help with? Could I help you?”

    “Yes,” said the older brother. “I do have a job for you. Look across the creek at that farm. That’s my neighbor. In fact, it’s my younger brother! Last week there was a meadow between us. He recently took his bulldozer to the river levee and now there is a creek between us. Well, he may have done this to spite me, but I’ll do him one better. See that pile of lumber by the barn? I want you to build me a fence an 8-foot fence — so I won’t need to see his place or his face anymore.”

    The carpenter said, “I think I understand the situation. Show me the nails and the post-hole digger and I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you.”

    The older brother had to go to town, so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day. The carpenter worked hard all that day — measuring, sawing and nailing. About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job.

    The farmer’s eyes opened wide, his jaw dropped. There was no fence there at all.

    It was a bridge .. a bridge that stretched from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work, handrails and all! And the neighbor, his younger brother, was coming toward them, his hand outstretched..

    “You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I’ve said and done.”

    The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in middle, taking each other’s hand…
