Anyway they went on a family drive up to Teveria. When they got there one of the children really needed the bathroom. So this fellow found a restaurant and the father went in with his son and asked the maidredee if they could use the bathroom which she happily agreed to. As they were coming out of the bathroom the owner of the restaurant spotted them and starts screaming at them, why do you come take advantage of my bathrooms, I pay rent and electricity! What a chutzpah! The man says-what do you mean? We came to eat in your restaurant. (he had gone to a restaurant that he was sure had a good hashgacha for maris ayin) So the owner realizes that he screamed at a customer and he's thoroughly embarrassed. The man turns to his son "go to the car and tell the family that we're eating lunch here. The son goes out to the car with the astounding news and the wife and 8 startled children troop into the restaurant to see first hand what could possibly have happened to their father.
They sit down and the waiter brings menus, the man almost has a heart attack when he sees the prices but he smiles amiably and the family orders. When they are almost finished their meal the waiter starts bringing over the most magnificent desserts the man tells them, "Excuse me! There must be some mistake we didn't order dessert." The waiter continues serving the deserts and says "I just work here, see the maitredee. " The man seeks out the maitredee and finds her crying by the maitredees desk. Excuse me miss I didn’t order the desserts and so she said "No,you don’t understand, I saw the boss yell at you and I understood that you didn't want me to be screamed at so you made up that you were eating here. I know you only did it so I wouldn't get hurt, no one ever did something like that for me in my entire life. Believe me the desserts are on the house but when the family was ready to leave and they brought them the bill the man looks at the total and sees that the total is crossed out and written next to it are the words in this restaurant "we don’t charge angels".
Today be an angel. Make sure you don’t cause anyone to get hurt.

Ein Aya Muscle & Meaning: The Dual Nature of Gevurah (Physical Strength)
Is physical strength and fitness a necessity or an ideal? Although it if often totally overlooked among topics of Judaism, Rav Kook writes that it clearly is also a necessity to deter the many enemies of Israel, but even in Y'mot HaMashiach, in the Messianic era, to a certain extent, it's ideal continues even after our enemies will have been finished off.
Chukat "HOW ENTEBBE STOLE THE BICENTENNIAL
The Difference Between Historic & Eternal"
As we approach America's 250th birthday, it's worth remembering her 200th Bicentennial birthday, on Jul. 4th 1976, when Israel "stole the show" by shocking the world & miraculously saving 101 hostages in a foreign continent. As Pres. As Pres. Trump decides which countries get priority in his new Middle-East, it's worth reminding him of the difference between historic events and eternally historic ones. This obviously connects with this week's parsha, as well!
Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 6 - The Parable of the King of India
The advantages of testimony over circumstantial evidence or philosophical speculation.
Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 5- "Proofs of G-d"
This may be the most important class of the entire book, where we finally get to the Jewish proof of the existence of G-d and truth of the Torah. We should follow His own direction where He tells us how to get to Him: through the Nation of Israel: Jewish history, Jewish prophets (and today, prophecies fulfilled), and national reward & punishment towards Am Yisrael.
Ein Aya One Humanity, One Creator, One Jerusalem
Rav Kook innovatively and beautifully explains this aggadeta where our sages say that after Jerusalem was destroyed her cinnamon fragrance is only found locked in a particular kingdom's treasury.
