מעדני הפרשה ערש"ק פר' משפטים שקלים תשע"ח

ואם בפרשת שקלים עסקינן, כדאי לשים לב, כי המסכת היחידה שהיא רק 'ירושלמי' ומצאה את מקומה בש"ס 'בבלי' זו מסכת שקלים, כי כאשר 'ירושלמי' זקוק לשקלים הוא הולך לגלות 'בבל' לקוששם.  ולכן מובן למה מודגש שם התנא 'רבי נתן הבבלי' שאם הוא 'נתן' הוא 'בבלי', כי ירושלמי הוא ר' לקח ולא רבי נתן 
השבת כבר קוראים פרשת שקלים, והשבת שאחריה 'ויקחו לי תרומה', אמרו הבדחנים: כי הלא ידוע השאלה למה נתנו 2 לוחות? והתשובה: כי כאשר סובב המלאך בין כל העמים ושאלם אם ברצונם לקבל הלוחות, שאלו: מה כתיב בהו?, אך כאשר שאל את עם ישראל, שאלו אותו: מה המחיר? ענה: בחינם. אם כך תתן 2, ענו מיניה וביה. לכן מיד אח"כ מגיע פרשת מחצית השקל ופרשת ויקחו לי תרומה, ללמדנו כי יש מחיר, ועם ישראל נתבעים ונותנים, ואנו מוכנים לשלם בחפץ לב כל מחיר (אכן בתי הכנסת של התימנים והפרסים סגורים בשבתות אלו, אין תרומה ואין שקלים).

Bingo Kosher Market plans to Open Lakewood store This Summer

Back in March 2016 Bingo announced plans to open stores in the US starting with Brooklyn followed by Lakewood and other Jewish markets. In an interview last week Bingo management set a target date for the opening of ts Lakewood, NJ branch. The plan is to open in the summer of 2018, reports indicate the company "Osher Ad" from Israel, leased a box store on Rt 70 in Lakewood. A Costco type of store will bring more competition to the Lakewood supermarkets. In the last 2 years 4 supermarkets have opened but Bingo will cater to the low cost discount shoppers.

Gas prices keep rising in NJ

 Drivers in New Jersey are seeing gas prices only going up. Analysts predict prices will be at over $3 a gallon this coming spring.  AAA Mid-Atlantic says the average price of a gallon of regular gas in is $2.71. Last year at this time gas in NJ was $2.35. The 25 cents gas tax in NJ is partly to blame for the high price. 
Analysts point that Opec production cuts, and exports of oil to South America due to Valenzuela economy collapse are the factors for the price increase.
