Jewish History

Sir Moses Montefiore was a religious philanthropist who worked tirelessly on behalf of his brethren worldwide, and especially in the Land of Israel. He dispensed large sums toward charitable causes and founded numerous establishments and institutions. Sir Montefiore traveled far and wide to visit Jewish communities and interceded on their behalf before rulers such as Queen Victoria, Czar Alexander the Second, the Ottoman Sultan, and the pope. He lived to the ripe old age of 100, passing away on 16 Menachem Av 5645 (1885).

Daily Thought

Speak like G-d.

G‑d's words are packets of divine energy, articulations of His essence and being.

You, too, can speak from the essence of your heart.

Words that come from your heart will enter the hearts of others. And once there, they will have their effect.

So that the heart they enter cannot help but be moved.

G-d spoke and the world came into being.

Speak from your heart and a whole new universe might come to be.

Igrot Kodesh vol. 15, pt. 112.
