Tragically plucked from our midst at the tender age of 18, Shmuli Silverberg, ע"ה was a model ben aliya and talmid haYeshiva. He personified exquisite joy and diligence in learning Torah, while connecting to and serving Hashem through meticulous performance of mitzvos and heartfelt tefila. A beloved son, brother, talmid and friend, he touched the lives of so many with his uncanny sensitivity, care and kindness. His joie de vivre was infectious and inspiring, and so sorely missed by all who knew and loved him.

Pruzbul: Begining or End of Shemitah

 The Shemitah year will begin on Rosh Hashanah. Do I need to make sure to write a Pruzbul before Rosh Hashanah?

Aside from the agricultural laws of Shemitah, the Torah also commands us not to collect loans after Shemitah, as it is stated in (Devarim 15:1-2): “At the end of seven years you shall observe Shemitah…every creditor should release his authority over what he lent his friend.” The great Jewish leader Hillel saw that as the Shemitah approached, individuals were wary to lend money to the poor out of fear that their loans would become uncollectible. He instituted the pruzbul as a permissible means of collecting these loans. 

A “pruzbul” is a signed contract that empowers beis din (a Jewish court) to collect all

Sefer Torah Damaged by Flood, Part that was Written By Rav Yitzchok Elchanan zatzal was Saved

Hamodia- (BROOKLYN) - Sifrei Torah were destroyed, basements flooded, and homes and shuls were damaged in Williamsburg, which experienced some of the heaviest effects of Tropical Depression Ida on Wednesday night.

Williamsburg Shomrim received “thousands of calls,” coordinator Yanky Itzkowitz told Hamodia. “Of course, we couldn’t handle all, so we took the highest priority ones first.”

Itzkowitz also assisted in removing four sifrei Torah from the Sambuer shul, located in a basement at Wallabout Street and Marcy Avenue. The sifrei Torah were brought to a nearby shul and laid out to dry.

The rav of the shul told Hamodia on Thursday that the day before the storm he had called several sewer specialists to check on the shul, and they determined sewer system was fine.

“We kept checking; fifteen minutes before storm came, it was all clear,” the rav said. But when the storm came, the water quickly “came in all the way to the ceiling.”

The shul had four sifrei Torah, all of which were damaged. “It makes me cry to talk,” the rav said, frequently repeating the words, “Baruch Hashem” because, “Keshem shemavarchim al hatov, kach mevarchim al hara.” (“Just as we thank Hashem for the
