This week's Torah content is sponsored by the Reznik family in dedication to the loving memory of Silvia Tanzer (Sora Hesha bas Chaim Moshe) and Irving Tanzer (Yisroel ben Yechezkel).
Synopsis: Today’s episode was as unplanned as my unplanned 4-hours of sleep last night. Thankfully, I was able to use the Stoic method of “the obstacle is the way” – or the Jewish method of “gam zu l’tovah” – to transform this “bad” sleep into a “good” sleep!
