A Magnificent Mezuzah And A Militaristic Menorah
What an interesting chanukiah you have! It is apparent that it was completely fashioned by hand using a variety of tools, and there is a great deal of soldering work I can see from putting pieces together.

Word Prompt – CANE – Shlomo Zuckier
Can one use a cane on Shabbos in a place without an eruv? The Shulchan Aruch paskens that a lame person who cannot walk without a stick, may walk with one, even if they are not attached to him.
Word Prompt – CANE – Yehudah Pryce
Such halachic accommodations allow for Jews who would be limited in participating in communal Shabbos activities if they need a cane and were not allowed use of it without an eruv on Shabbos. To be sure, this inclusive accommodation is governed by Hashem’s will.

Word Prompt – CANE – Yonatan Milevsky

Dementia Diary – Chapter 63

The Proud And The Prejudiced (Part IV)
This was it. And my father and two brothers were killed that night. My other two brothers, we never heard from them again either…
The Chofetz Chaim’s Personally Inspected Books

The Judaism, Zionism And Jewish Poems Of Emma Lazarus
Lazarus wrote several pieces on Jewish holidays, including The New Year (Rosh Hashana, 5643), in which she beautifully conveyed her vision of a people rolling homeward to its ancient source.

Not only do I not drink schnapps very often; it’s not really a word that’s in my vocabulary.

Word Prompt – SCHNAPPS – Gabriel Boxer
Nowadays, I don’t think a shul kiddush or a kiddush club for that matter even knows what schnapps is, and it’s been some time since I’ve experienced the nostalgia of that marble cake in my mouth.
Word Prompt – SCHNAPPS – Cheryl Kupfer
