R' Ytzchak Yoseph B"R Chaim Shlomoh
Even one who studies properly, comes prepared for the test, and succeeds in passing it, must still gain a lot of experience and skill before being capable of driving as he should. During the first stages, while the driver is still amateur and lacking experience, he does not know how to decide if his own speed is high in relation to that of the situation on the road. There is a tendency to increase one's speed. There is an inner, psychological drive to demonstrate confidence, to show that one is not afraid. This drive is not necessarily directed towards others. The driver may be trying to prove to himself that he is not afraid. This inner drive exists in each one of us.
Even those who harbor a sincere desire to drive properly and in keeping with the law have a tendency to drive too quickly. This is because they do not know how to gauge properly at what speed to drive according to the traffic situation and the condition of the road. Do not think, young driver, that because you drive a little bit slower this is a sign of indecisiveness. To the contrary, it evidences maturity, responsibility, efficacy, and confidence. Speeding, on the other hand, demonstrates lack of confidence. A person covers up for himself by behaving in a manner opposite his true self. One must be strong, overcome weaknesses, and drive at a speed which allows for guaranteed control of the automobile. In this manner, one can be ready for whatever sort of situation may arise. When driving with friends, too, one must drive at a normal speed and not be lured into driving fast.
After three months on the road, one suddenly becomes aware of a great difference in his manner of driving compared to when he started out. After driving for an entire year, one comes to the realization that even after three months he still had not really know how to drive, and that it takes a lot of experience in order to know how to drive properly. Therefore, young drivers, new drivers, please, for your own sake and for the sake of others, be cautious. If you are at all uncertain as to whether or not you are driving too quickly, slow down to the point at which you feel that you are in complete control of the situation. If we exert ourselves, and take added precautions, in the spirit of the Torah's admonition to "be exceedingly careful to protect yourselves," we will no doubt hear less about automobile accidents.

Re'e NEVER EXTREME EXCEPT ISRAEL
Parshat Re'eh
Judaism is against extremism, so how can we understand the seemingly extreme statements found in our sages in favor of living in the Land of Israel and against living in Chutz laAretz? The article deals with the seeming contradiction between the strength of Free-Will and the strength of being influenced by our surroundings.
Ekev DANCE FOR ISRAEL- FOR YOUR BENEFIT
Parshat Eikev
Description: The 7 Haftarot we read after Tisha B'Av ("Shiva D'Nichemta") surely get us excited that they're coming TRUE, and awaken us to yearn, dance & join the return to Zion! The short article also deals with the problems and solutions facing the American Jewish community as discussed at a recent panel, as well as the question why Jews come from America to Israel to help when we face problems, but Israelis don't come to aid Jews in America when they face anti-Semitism.
