The height of the intellect is distinguishing between the real and the impossible, and submission to what is beyond one's power.
— Rabbi Shlomo ibn-Gavirol

JWR VALUES EACH AND EVERY READER!

With the understanding that we have a number of non-Jewish readers, please find below more than a dozen new articles and a similar amount of "think toons" to help you prevent what might otherwise develop into a dreaded case of "JWR withdrawal".

We are suspending publication til Wednesday in observance of the last set of festivals of the "High Holy Days" season, known as Shemini Atzeres and Simchas Torah.

For the next 48 hours, observant Jews will spend much of the day and part of the night in the synagogue.

While there 's prayer and study, there will also be joyous dancing and singing.

In many regards, the holidays revolve around the children, who get to stay up late and are rewarded with all sorts of treats.

(Interested in a more in-depth explanation? Please check out "Revealed: Simchas Torah secrets" by clicking HERE.)

In general, as you'll have more time, please check out those articles you might have missed at JewishWorldReview.com. All work was completed before the onset of the holy days.

May the coming year be one of health, happiness and inspiration!

Thought
Simchas Torah: Technology and the Outdated Torah Scroll
By Rabbi Dr. Nathan Lopes Cardozo

Judaism is a future-orientated religion. We are not afraid of the latest technologies because they allow us to fulfill, in ways unimagined by our forefathers, the divine mandate to cure diseases, create more pleasant ways to live our lives and make the world a better place. All this is beautifully expressed by our sages, who direct us to become partners with God in the work of creation.

But the very text that demands this, does not allow us to benefit from it when it comes down to the physical preparation and writing of this same text!
