Illuminator of the Mishnah,

Anxiety is one of the most common reasons for people of all ages to seek out and attend therapy. When therapy helps to eliminate constant feelings of unease and episodes of utter panic, clients tend to look back on it as a well-chosen endeavor. In many cases, however, the therapeutic experience itself ends up being a source of anxiety. Such anxiety can arise during therapy, but is especially prevalent when therapy is first considered as an option, or just starting to be broached.
In parshas Pinchas, the Torah has a census of Klal Yisrael, which was at the end of the 40 years in the desert. We find discrepancies between these numbers and those from parshas Bamidbar, which was at the beginning of the 40 years. Shevet Shimon had the biggest difference of numbers, the only shevet numbering losses in the tens of thousands. Based on this, Chazal say that the 24,000 who died in the plague at the end of parshas Balak were all from shevet Shimon. In addition, when Moshe blessed all the shevatim, he left out Shimon, only hinting at them, highlighting the disappointment with them from the recent tragic event.
Recap: Shani calls the number on the card, and a man tells her to meet him at her house and to come alone. On her way, as she’s walking through the park, a girl stops her. Shoshana realizes the girl is Ruty, Penina’s sister. Ruty says she knows she’s Penina’s new friend and she tells her not to go home.
For close to a decade, I have advocated the importance of Israeli fashion to find its well deserved place in the global fashion arena. Working with fashion icons such as Motty Reif (creator of Tel Aviv Fashion Week), Aviad Arik Herman, Eyal Asouline, Matan Shaked, Maya Negri and Inbal Dror. Each one a brilliant example of viewing Israel through a creative lens. Allowing the world to translate Israel as a land of creativity as opposed to a land of political extremities.
