AtricleZine - Tefilin Wrap
When you rent a car, you are accepting responsibility for a very expensive piece of machinery. Even if the car happens to be an economy one, the investment the dollar rent auto company has in it is likely in the thousands of dollars. And while the company needs to protect itself, you, too, should be concerned, as well. A pre- and post rental inspection can help cover the bases.What is a pre-rental inspection and what can renters expect?Just like any other pre-lease inspection, such as with a home or apartment, a dollar rent auto inspection is a quick walk through to check for any damage that's on the car before it's driven off the lot. By taking the extra few minutes to do this, rental car companies protect themselves and they protect you from being charged for any damage a
After receiving the e-mail I sent out last week, a client called and asked “what is the point of all of these charts that you refer to?”I told her that “point and figure charts, and the strategy that I use with those charts, is designed to prevent you from being involved in a disaster.”I asked her to humor me for a moment and let me tell her about a gentleman I recently met.In 1998, he decided that he’d retire in mid-2000, when he turned 65.Back then, his 401k plan was worth $1,214,000.He expected to withdraw $80,000 per year from the plan (or about 6 to 7% of the balance), when he figured this out in 1998.He went on to tell me that he expected this would be a reasonable amount, because the market had returned an average of 15% per year for the p
What makes the religious ruling even more interesting is that the rabbi is Sephardi, a Gadol (sage), and living in Israel. I never would have expected this ruling from an Ashkenazi Rav of that stature. For a sage of that caliber to take such a position could only be possible if it was made by a Sephardi, because their fundamental “gestalt” differs dramatically from their Ashkenazi brothers.
The differences between a Sephardi and an Ashkenazi become apparent when one experiences Sephardi culture in Israel. In America, the Ashkenazi influence is too overpowering and overbearing. Sephardi Jews attend Ashkenazi based synagogues, religious schools and yeshivot, for the most part. Even if you are part of a Sephardi community with their infrastructure of shuls and yeshivot, they are still conscious of the Ashkenazi perception of the-- thus tailoring their behavior based on standards of the Ashkenazim.

1) Create a clear and compelling vision A compelling vision acts as a beacon of light that keeps your people focused on where you want to go. Napoleon Bonaparte achieved great victories on the battlefield. Part of his success was due to his decisiveness and the decisiveness of his field marshals in making decisions. Napoleon made sure his field marshals knew what to do when they didn’t know what to do. His standing order was: “In the absence of orders, march to the sounds of the guns.”2) Focus on the future; leave the past behind A young monk and an old monk come to a river. There’s a beautiful lady standing there who needs to get across. The old monk scoops the lady up in his arms and carries her across the river. The lady kisses

Computer Mouse – it’s something you wouldn’t run away from. Instead, it is the one thing you would search for. In fact, every body is in search for a good one. And it has actually become a not-so-easy task to “hunt” for a good mouse – for your pc.What do you look for, when you say “good computer mouse?” Often, when you buy a whole pc set, a mouse is already included. But there are others who still search for a good one.In choosing a mouse, you must consider its compatibility with the pc and of course, with you, the user. As the technology advances, there are many types of mice to choose from ranging from mechanical (the ball-inside-type) to optical (ones that use laser to detect movement). Check the connectivity, as there are different mice with different connectivity ports

Ever since life insurance has been made compulsory, the sector has seen significant growth. However, not everyone knows what a life insurance policy is, what its benefits are, and most importantly, what an average life insurance policy should consist of to guarantee proper protection to the insured. Going through a few facts and statistics in this matter will help people decide what kind of policy to choose.It is estimated that, in America, an average life insurance policy provides $100,000 in benefits. However, although this may seem to be an ample amount of money, it is actually not enough to provide for the cost of long-term care for the policy holder?s family. Therefore, one needs to look at a better option. It is for this reason that one is advised to be aware of the financi

Once you are known as someone who handles him or herself well in front of a group, you will be asked to lead a meeting and/or introduce the speakers. As the emcee, you will want to not only present those on the program professionally, you will want to orchestrate the occasion in an exemplary fashion. In the following article, I share five tips that will guarantee your success as an emcee.Be aware of your role. Yes, you will be the host and facilitator for the program. Your job is to warm the audience and prepare them for the speaker(s). Your part is extremely important to the overall flow of the meeting, but you must remember that you are not the “show.” You should not tell a joke or give a mini-presentation. It is your goal to make the speaker(s) look good.
As a rabbinical student studying "Yoreh Deyah" (section of Jewish Law) the primary text was rarely referred to by the proper noun "Beis Yoseph," (Sephardic) but rather by the noun "Mechaber" (generic term for an author). Interestingly, when there was a distinct difference of opinion between the "Mechaber" and the minority opinion referred to by th proper noun "Ramah," (Askenazi) it was presented as a difference of opinion between the Mechaber and Ramah, and not between the Beis Yoseph and the Ramah. By doing this, indirectly the Beis Yoseph was depersonalized, while the Rama maintained a personal identity. The issues were not presented as a difference between Sephardi and Ashkenazi culture, but between the Mechaber and Ramah. We never received a picture of an intellectually vibrant and effervescent Sephardi culture that needed to be contended with. It was nameless and faceless. Interestingly, when Sephardim study the same text, they refer to the Mechaber as Maran Habet Yosef!
Even in Israel, the cultural differences between the two ethnic groups are difficult to distinguish because of the Ashkenazi dominance of religion and culture. This seems to be changing, but the change is slow and sometimes barely perceptible. One of the most offensive images I ever had of a Sephardi rabbi in Israel was to see him behave as an Ashkenazi at the expense of his own rich heritage. It is bad enough to be a rabbi in Israel-- because for the most part they are clerics, employees of the state, with little status among th
