Help us raise $1,800
to reach our $10,000 campaign goal by Pesach!
Baruch Hashem my tour was very successful! Our
supporters donated more than $20,000 for our Tree Planting/Garden
of Emuna, Scholarship and Building Campaigns. Considering
the current financial situation, it is a real bracha!
This success was due to the many people who
opened their hearts and gave an amount that they felt comfortable
with. It really is true that every donation, no matter how
small, makes a big difference.
If you have not made a donation to Midreshet
B'erot Bat Ayin this year, please open
your heart and donate now. Our goal is to raise another
$1,800 by Pesach so that we can close this year's Tree Planting/Garden
of Emuna Campaign.
Many people have also requested to give their
ma'aser money to Midreshet B'erot on a monthly basis.
These monthly donations of $18, $36, $54, $72 and up allow
us to provide scholarships to students in need of financial
assistance, and help to subsidize our special programs and
trips.
Thank you to all the holy people who helped
organize and host events, and helped arrange my transportation
and accommodations. I couldn't have done it without you. Our
students' ability to flourish at B'erot and our continued
success will be ensured due to your assistance.
Thank you also to all those who donated, especially
those who stretched themselves because they believe in our
Midrasha, and to those who came to see me, learn from me and
who assisted without me even noticing.
May Hashem greatly bless you for your kindness!
With blessings of Torah and the Land,
Chana Bracha
We
only need to raise $3,000 to meet our goal!
Please help us close our campaign and be able
to start the landscaping for our Garden of Emuna! If you have
made a pledge and haven't yet sent your donation, please do
so right away. If you have been meaning to make a donation,
but haven't had the time, please make an extra effort to get
your donation in before Pesach.
Planting fruit-trees on the land of Israel is an important
part of the mitzvah to settle the land (Yishuv Ha'aretz).
Regarding the verse, "you shall possess it and you shall
settle in it… " (Deut. 11:31) the Vilna Gaon explains
that through planting the Land of Israel we will merit to
posses it. (Kol Hator Chapter 1:9) Actually,
the task of Mashiach ben Yosef, which precedes the final redemption,
is to drive away theimpure spirit from the Land by gathering
in the exiles, rebuilding Jerusalem, and planting the desolate
areas. (Kol Hator Chapter 2:117)
Therefore, when you plant a tree in the gardens of Midreshet
B'erot Bat Ayin, you are not only beautifying the land, and
supporting Jewish women's return to their heritage and to
their Land from the four corners of the earth; your donation
to plant in the land of Israel also brings the redemption
one step closer.

Torah
Teachings on Nutrition, Health and Waste Prevention
Many people think that the
Jewish laws concerning eating consist mainly of the extensive
and complex dietary laws of kosher and non-kosher foods.
Does mainstream halacha have
clear guidelines concerning wholesome lifestyles? What can
we learn from the Torah about preserving our environment,
composting and recycling rather than throwing everything
away? Contemporary society has long neglected the laws pertaining
to health and waste prevention, which probably explains
why there’s so much disease and flabbiness among those
with modern-day lifestyles.
Do any of the many health directives
of the Talmud and later Rabbis have any relevance in our
time?
Although the Rambam lived almost a thousand years ago, more
and more dietary experts are “rediscovering” the
timeless truth and effectiveness of his teachings.

Is there such a thing as a
“lucky month” according to the Torah?
What is the meaning of the
name “Adar”?
Based on the Sefer Yetzira,
Rabbi Tzaddok HaKohen and the Bnai Yissaschar, this presentation
