For all the ladies who put so much effort into keeping up the house
Washing floors is quite the drag.
So is washing the dishes.
And washing the clothes.
And making the beds.
And picking stuff up, all the time.
==
Sometimes, it’s so easy to think what am I even doing all this for?!
So much effort goes into just keeping the house liveable, and no-one even notices, really, how much time and effort it takes.

If you feel like that, at least sometimes, then this short and sweet ‘words from the Rav’ is just for you.
Enjoy!

Excerpt of a shiur given during Malaveh Malka, Parshat Yitro 5785 (February 15th, 2025)

It’s like the Beit HaMikdash (Temple).
Mishkan is the acronym for Mita (bed), SHulchan (table), Kisei (chair) Nora (light).
Translated from Shivivei Or, 397.

After a while, the Arab Christians began to consider it a provocation and an attempt to ‘Judaize’ the place, so they came into conflict. Did you hear about that?
Yes, it’s in OIAG 3, I think. It was R Elmaliach, who got beaten up.
and dont forget”pleasing the hubby”(keneged kulom!)
Therefore, Rashi says, “And there was no man among them,” that no woman died in the desert, all the women lived forty years, because no woman was tempted into any sin,
