DVAR TORAH FROM

RABBI CLAMAN

STAYING FOCUSSED

Yaakov instructs Yosef to check on the welfare of his brothers and bring back a report (37:14). This seemingly mundane task proved to be fateful as it drastically changed the course of Jewish history.

The Torah describes that as Yosef was “wandering in the field” he encounters a man who asks him “mah tevakeish - what do you seek?”

The Kotzker Rebbe z”l suggests that the “wandering in the field” is a metaphor for a person who is lost on the path of life, confused and looking for answers. The man (the angel Gavriel- Rashi) is teaching Yosef and all of those confounded on life’s path a profound lesson. Life is an odyssey riddled with challenges. You’ll be thrown into a pit, sold into slavery, and sit in jail. Then you’ll rise to the greatest heights of political power! There will be highs and there will be lows, but you must never lose focus concerning “what it is you seek”.

Yosef overcame the greatest of challenges and emerged uncorrupted because he set goals and stuck to them. May we all merit to lead a focused lifestyle committed to the things that matter most.



Wishing you all a wonderful Shabbos!  

Rabbi David Claman

MESSAGE FROM MATT'S BAKERY

Dear Valued Customer,

For the last 16 years, we have been privileged to provide quality kosher baked goods to the Columbus community.

Recent developments at Kroger have caused us to make the decision to move out of Kroger and go back out on our own.

We are excited about the opportunity to expand the bakery into a bakery cafe so that we may offer more food options to the community. We plan to add pizza, pasta, and more.

But, we need your help. We are launching a GoFundMe Campaign to raise money to help us make the move into a new space. Here is the link https://gofund.me/3c0bca0c

We love this community, and want to continue providing delicious kosher food for many years to come.

We hope to reach our goal, but will be so grateful for any support we receive as we look to continue serving the community.



Please share this email with anybody you think may be willing to help.

Thank you.
