ORDER AND PEACE

Dear Family,

I hope that everyone is well.

Wishing Yechezkiel ben Ester a refuah shleimah.

Mazal Tov to Penina on her birthday today! Wishing you a wonderful year Penina with much joy, and much growth in both gashmius and ruchnius BEH.

Mazal Tov to Reuven whose birthday is on Shabbos. Keep the golf clubs swinging Reuven and wishing you a healthy and happy year.

And next day is Perry's birthday who also plays golf with his father (and I heard that you both were playing with Brian and Warren last week - so nice BH!) Wishing you a great year Perry.

And the next day is Adrian (Sacks) birthday in Melbourne. Mazal Tov Ade, and wishing you a good, happy and healthy year!

We wish long life to Sid and Brian for the yohrtzeit of Uncle Dave ah which is next week. He is fondly remembered and we wish his neshamah an Aliyah.

And another yohrtzeit at the end of next week is that of my cousin Alden ah. He is much missed. His neshamah should have an Aliyah, and we wish long life to his Family, Froma, Kerry Lee, Gareth, and Adrian.

Another interesting Chassidisher Derher (from Igros Kodesh Vol 20 p315 - Responsae) came past me this week, which I would like to share:

"Generally speaking, a person's life needs to be, specifically, in an orderly fashion.

And specifically, this is the way of kedushah (Holiness), in contrast to sitra achra (unholy impure forces), which function in a chaotic manner.

"And I mean order in all areas - waking up, studying Torah, eating and drinking etc, And certainly and importantly with regards to your relationship at home. For 'great is the peace between husband and wife, for then Hashem's presence rests amongst them'."

Gut Shabbos to all!
