Style Myths Debunked

In parshas Pinchas, the Torah has a census of Klal Yisrael, which was at the end of the 40 years in the desert. We find discrepancies between these numbers and those from parshas Bamidbar, which was at the beginning of the 40 years. Shevet Shimon had the biggest difference of numbers, the only shevet numbering losses in the tens of thousands. Based on this, Chazal say that the 24,000 who died in the plague at the end of parshas Balak were all from shevet Shimon. In addition, when Moshe blessed all the shevatim, he left out Shimon, only hinting at them, highlighting the disappointment with them from the recent tragic event.

Recap: The Wright brothers review the glider flight and what went wrong. Sender tells them about the stranger who was shooting photos. 

Recap: Shani calls the number on the card, and a man tells her to meet him at her house and to come alone. On her way, as she’s walking through the park, a girl stops her. Shoshana realizes the girl is Ruty, Penina’s sister. Ruty says she knows she’s Penina’s new friend and she tells her not to go home.

Anxiety is one of the most common reasons for people of all ages to seek out and attend therapy. When therapy helps to eliminate constant feelings of unease and episodes of utter panic, clients tend to look back on it as a well-chosen endeavor. In many cases, however, the therapeutic experience itself ends up being a source of anxiety. Such anxiety can arise during therapy, but is especially prevalent when therapy is first considered as an option, or just starting to be broached.
