Filled with mitzvot like the pomegranate

Hi,

"‘Your skull (rakateich) is like the shell of a pomegranate’ – Even the empty ones (reikanin shebach) among you are full of mitzvot, like a pomegranate."

[Note: The source makes no mention of a pomegranate having 613 seeds!]

(Talmud, Sanhedrin 37a)

Have a great day,
Mordechai

From Prayer to Study, from strength to strength

Hi,

"One who leaves the synagogue and goes directly to the study hall will merit to receive Gd's Shechinah [presence], as it is written, 'They will go from strength to strength, they will be seen before Gd in Zion.'"

(Talmud, Berachot 64a)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
