#JackItUp What a jacked up Simchas Torah (& month)! It is customary to declare ויעקב הלך לדרכו - Hit the road, Jack! - at the conclusion of the holiday marathon. Hashem intended me to do it well, greeting me with a flat tire while loading Chaya into the car for the airport, seeing her back off to high school in Albany... #ubertotherescue #fixingflats #jackthecarup #jacktheyearup #gettingjacked

The weekly Torah reading is what defines the Jewish week, serving as the guide and point of reference for the week's events, deeds and decisions; Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi called this "living with the times." Hence the theme and tone of this week is one of beginning and renewal, as we launch into yet another cycle of Torah life. The Rebbes of Chabad would say: "As one establishes oneself on Shabbat Bereishit, so goes the rest of the year." Link: Beginnings
