Rav Yitzchak Yaakov Reines - yurzeit: 9 Elul. Founder of MIZRACHI Movement
Rav Yitzchak Yaakov Reines (1839-1915).
(9 Elul per www.chevrahlomdeimishnah.org)
Born in Karolin, Belarus, Rav Yitzchak Yaacov Reines studied at Volozhin Yeshiva under the Netziv.
His first rabbinical position was in Saukenai, Lithuania, in 1867, followed by a position in Svencionys in 1869.
In 1882 he founded a yeshiva with a curriculum that included secular subjects.
From 1885 until his death, he headed a yeshiva in Lida (now in Belarus).
He was a member of the Chibbas Tzion movement from its inception.
In 1893, Rav Shmuel Mohliver founded Mercaz Ruchani, or the "spiritual center.”
Ten years later, when Rav Reines was looking for a good name for a religious Zionist movement, he adopted the name, “Mizrachi.”
Rav Reines was one of the first rabbis to answer Herzl's call to become part of the Zionist movement, and he attended the Third Zionist Congress in 1899.
While most of his colleagues remained opposed to political Zionism, in 1902 Reines published a book, Or Chadash al Tzion which presents a call to a Zionist Judaism.
The same year, he organized a conference of the religious Zionist movement in Vilna, where the Mizrachi movement was founded.
He was recognized as the movement's leader at its founding convention in Pressburg, Bratislava in 1904.
Rav Reines authored many sefarim including Sefer Ha-arakhim and Edus beYaakov.

Rav Kook and the number 70.
Rabbi Avraham Itschak Hacohen Kook was the first Chief Rabbi of Israel in the present Era.
He passed away at age 70, just like King David.
The day of his demise (Yurzeit) in the Hebrew calendar is 3 of Elul.
The numerical value of Elul - אֱלוּל - in Hebrew is 67.
67 + 3 lately is 70 = the date of death and the respective age of Rav Kook.
And we are in Year 70 of the founding of the State of Israel.
Seventy is also the number of nations and languages of the world according to the Torah.
Putting all together gives a beautiful Gueulah!

What is the Shulchan Aruch?
The Shulchan Aruch (in Hebrew: שולחן ערוך).
Literally "table set, it is a codification or catalog written of Halachah, the Jewish Law, all written by Rabbi Yosef Karo, in 1563 in the city of Tzfat (Safed), Israel.
It is considered by the vast majority of Orthodox Jews, along with their commentaries, as the highest authority compilation after the Talmud, with the exception of a minority, the Yemeni Jews, who continue to follow the Mishneh Torah of the Rambam (Maimonides).
The Shulchan Aruch has four volumes, subdivided into chapters and paragraphs:
Orach Chayim - laws on prayers and synagogue, shabbat, holidays;
Yoreh De'ah - laws on shechita, kashrut and conversion to Judaism;
Even Ha'ezer - laws on marriage, divorce and related matters;
Choshen haMishpat - laws on finance, financial liability, damages (personal and financial), the rules of Bet Din, as well as laws on witnesses.

It is interesting to note that Rabbi Yosef Karo fluently knew Portuguese and Spanish, having lived with his family in these countries years before the tragic expulsion of the Jews.

It's all a matter of choice
In the cartoon, a group of fun beings are relentlessly searching for an Evil One to follow.
Think now of the same group seeking a righteous man, a Tzadik, to follow.
What would be the result?
How much good would it do to the world, same cartoon, with the same sense of humor?
The choice is always ours.
