VAYIGASH: YOUR PUBLIC IMAGE - Stump the Rabbi (186)

Parashat Vayigash is full of Torah diamonds and pearls that apply to each of our lives more than we can imagine. In fact, one cannot be a kosher Jew without knowing the valuable lessons taught by Yosef and his brothers. `In a world where the long term perception of public personalities are proven wrong, and one criminal after another is exposed, one must be sure to take steps to ensure he/she is not a criminal in the eyes of HaShem or people. Today you'll see why. 🔥 Helping Am Yisrael @ WAR for Survival The Heartbreaking Cases Are Storming In... We Need MORE PARTNERS! DONATE TODAY @ http://www.BHChesed.org AM YISRAEL IS UNDER ATTACK and Fighting For Survival. The Death Toll and Victims are rising, but that only tells you a small part of the story about the victims here. Rabbi Yaron Reuven and Rav Efraim Kachlon are both In Jerusalem with the Team BeEzrat HaShem in different parts of the country trying to help those that are in need--Spiritual or Material.

There are too many cases to list, and too little time to waste a minute. The victims are rising and the calls for help are beyond comprehension. We need as much money as possible to help as many people as possible, and time is of the essence. Please Help Us Help Am Yisrael.
