Kids have been home and can't wait for camp to begin. Oh, neither can their parents! :)
Sunday was "Father's day". My brother Yossi points out an interesting observation. On Mother's day, fathers spend time and takes children off of mothers hands for the day.

PARSHA: Look, I’m Humble - It is easy to be humble when you have nothing to boast of. But Moses was humble, though he had much to boast about.

Maxine Epstein wrote a beautiful book review of a new book "My Rebbe" by Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz. It appears in this weeks Jewish Herald Voice. She writes, "During the 40-plus years that the Rebbe led Chabad, he extended outreach activities and sent close-knit networks of emissaries (sh’luchim) to begin Chabad houses at more than 3,500 places worldwide.
