As I’m writing this article, we have no idea what will be in the next few days…hours…minutes. (Who can even think in terms of months and years anymore?) Will Iran attack, when will they attack, what will they attack, will it be alone or with all their proxies? What will happen, who will join in, who will help Israel? So many uncertainties.

A woman, whom we shall call Caroline, contacted me three years ago and presented with anxiety and panic attacks, which became unbearably intense when she tried to drive over high bridges. The woman worked as a recruiter and made over $100k year. She was in her 50s, divorced, and had two teenage children. She was born in the Caribbean, where her parents still lived. Caroline said that her inability to drive over bridges was affecting her financially because she was taking Ubers to and from work. She had tried yoga, herbs, meditation - but nothing was helping.

This week, we are reaching the end of the Torah as it was given by Hashem to Moshe Rabbeinu. Sefer Devarim is Moshe speaking and reviewing the entire Torah with Klal Yisrael.

How does Bamidbar end? It ends with the B’nos (daughters of) Tzelafchad, being instructed to marry men from their shevet, in order to keep their father’s portion of land within their shevet. What is so special about the B’nos Tzelafchad that the Torah ends with this?

Recap: Someone signals Zevi to come, and he drives him away from the palace to FBI headquarters. Jordie is there. They get tickets to go to Israel, they fly there, and they finally reunite with their parents. The head of the terror cell was caught, and they helped with their adventure in England. They open the journal to finish reading it. In the journal story, everyone was searching for Mr. Greenspan’s nephew who had left home before the earthquake struck.

Honoring Loved Ones Through Torah Learning 

In a heartfelt and innovative move, TorahAnytime, a leading online platform for Torah learning, has launched a new initiative to honor the memory of loved ones who have passed away. This initiative allows families to dedicate Torah learning in memory of their departed relatives, providing a meaningful way to commemorate their legacy and impact.

For the first time ever, TorahAnytime will accept names and yartzeit (anniversary of death) dates of loved ones at no charge. On the designated yartzeit, all the learning on TorahAnytime, which amounts to over 30,000 hours of Torah study daily, will be dedicated in their memory. Additionally, the names of the departed will be prominently displayed on the TorahAnytime homepage, creating a lasting tribute.

“We believe there is no greater gift you can give to a loved one who has passed away than to learn Torah in their honor,” said Shimon Kolyakov, founder of TorahAnytime. “This initiative not only honors the memory of the deceased but also strengthens the spiritual connection of their families and the entire Jewish community.”

How It Works

Participating in this initiative is simple and accessible. Families can submit the Hebrew or English yahrzeit date along with the year of passing, and TorahAnytime will handle the rest, including converting English dates to Hebrew if needed. To ensure a personalized experience, each household can submit up to eight names.

By offering this service for free, TorahAnytime aims to make it as easy as possible for families to honor their loved ones. This initiative is a profound way to keep the memory of the deceased alive through continuous Torah study, a cornerstone of Jewish tradition and belief.

The Impact of Torah Learning

Torah study has always been a fundamental aspect of Jewish life, serving as a source of spiritual strength and guidance. Dedicating Torah learning in memory of a loved one not only elevates their soul but also brings merit to the family and the community. This initiative by TorahAnytime offers a unique opportunity to connect with the timeless wisdom of the Torah while honoring those who have passed on.

Community Engagement

TorahAnytime encourages families and friends to take advantage of this unique opportunity and spread the word within their communities. By participating, individuals can ensure that the legacy of their loved ones continues to inspire and uplift through the power of Torah study.
