Read the announcement below. Did you know about this before you read it?

Did you Hear?

It's a Segula!

from the 1st of Shevat until the 7th of Adar!

37 Days!

On the first of Shevat, Moshe Rabbeinu told Bnei Yisrael the Mishna Torah- Sefer Devarim. He repeated many of the mitzvot and taught new mitzvot until the seventh of Adar. The Achronim say that the first of Shevat is like a "Matan Torah."
So just as Jews on Shavuot say that this year they are going to learn more Torah and do more Mitzvot, so too on the first of Shevat Jews can do the same. All of these 37 days are a segula to make this happen.
(Rabbi Elyahu Ki Tov, Sefer Hatodaah, p.409 and The Responsa Project, version 22)

Fact File About a Famous Rabbi

Read the information about a famous rabbi.

Rabbi Eliyahu Ki Tov

Rabbi Eliyahu Ki Tov was born in Warsaw, Poland in 1912. He died in 1976. He learned in cheder and then in the beit midrash in a small town near Warsaw. Rabbi Eliyahu learned a lot of Torah from his father, Rabbi Michael. When Rabbi Eliyahu was 17 years old, he went back to Warsaw. There he worked, learned Torah, taught Torah and volunteered teaching non- religious homeless Jewish children.

In 1936, Rabbi Eliyahu moved to Eretz Yisrael. He helped improve the conditions of religious workers and he taught Torah. But Rabbi Eliyahu wanted to reach more people than just his students. So he started to write divrei Torah and books. One of his most famous books is called Sefer Hatodaah. This book is about the holidays and what is special about each Jewish month.

(Adapted from The Book Of Our Heritage, The Jewish Days and Its Days of Significance, Feldheim Publishers, 1997, pages About the Author)

What was Asher's blessing? Complete the sentence.

They would have a lot of _____ in their part of land.

a)  oil

b)  trees

c)  water

3)  Now read the story from Menachot 85b and see how it connects to Asher's blessing.

Here's a story that happened in Asher's part

of the land in Eretz Yisrael.

Once the people of Ludkia needed oil. They asked a man from Ludkia, who was an idol worshipper to go buy a million manot of oil. So the man went to Jerusalem and the people of Jerusalem said to him, "Go to Tzur." He went to Tzur and the people of Tzur said to him, "Go to Gush Chalav." He went to Gush Chalav and the people said to him, "Go to Paloni." He went to Paloni's house, but he didn't find him. They said to him, "He is in the field." The man went to the field and found Paloni digging under his olive trees. The man asked Paloni, "Do you have a million manot of oil to give me?" Paloni said, "Yes, wait until I finish my work."

The man waited. When Paloni finished his work, he collected his tools and put them on his back, (just like a poor field worker). As they walked home together, Paloni also threw rocks off the road. The messenger asked him, "Do you really have a million manot of oil? I think those Jews that told me to come see you are playing a joke on me."

When they got to the city, Paloni's maid brought him kettles of hot water to wash his hands and feet. Then she brought him a golden bowl full of oil and he dipped his hands and feet inside of it. Paloni wanted to do what is written in the Torah, "And he dips his feet in oil" (Devarim, 33, 24).

After they ate and drank, Paloni gave him a million manot of oil. Paloni said to the man, "Do you need more oil for yourself?" The man said, "Yes, but I don't have enough money." Paloni said to him, "If you want more oil, I will give you more and I will come with you to your city to get paid there." Paloni gave him 180,000 manot of oil. The man rented every horse, mule, camel and donkey he could find.

When they got to Ludkia, all the people of the city came out to cheer the man. But, the man said to them, "Don't praise me, praise Paloni. He is the one who sold us the million manot of oil and then he lent me 180,000 manot."

Paloni did all this so he could make this Mishley (13:7) happen,

"יֵ֣שׁ מִ֭תְעַשֵּׁר וְאֵ֣ין כֹּ֑ל מִ֝תְרוֹשֵׁ֗שׁ וְה֣וֹן רָֽב."

Some people look rich, but they are poor. Others look poor but they are really rich.

(Sefer Todaah, Rabbi Eliyahu Ki Tov, page 317 and a few translated words by the Artscroll Gemara, Menachot 85b.)
