The Yeshiva World Shidduch Crisis? Part II « » Frum Jewish News: " concerned parents, therapists, and community activists who have noble intentions in their pursuit to solve the problem. Yet, unfortunately, my personal experience, confirmed by many peers who responded to my article, sees a misguided response.

Labeling the situation a crisis is in itself an inappropriate approach to the whole scenario—one which, if anything, only strengthens the hysterical sense of anxiety and panic.

These worlds came into existence with the creation of the sephirot (spheres) by the Path of the Flaming Sword.

As the worlds formed they became more substantial eventually reaching physical manifestation in the very last world."

Judaism 101: Hebrew Alphabet

Judaism 101: Hebrew Alphabet: "Many letters in the Greek alphabet have similar names and occur in the same order (though they don't look anything alike!): Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta ... Zeta ... Theta, Iota, Kappa, Lambda, Mu, Nu ... Pi ... Rho, Sigma Tau.

The 'Kh' and the 'Ch' are pronounced as in German or Scottish, a throat clearing noise, not as the 'ch' in 'chair.'

Note that there are two versions of some letters. Kaf, Mem, Nun, Pei and Tzadei all are written differently when they appear at the end of a word than when they appear in the beginning or middle of the word."
