The Menorah
Extract of all the qualifications to be reciting Tehillim 67 – Lamnatzeah’ BiNginot / Psalm 67 / “A Song of the conductor” in Hebrew in the shape of Menorah – with the Menorah held Upright
A. It has many virtues, such as King David would go to war would defeat the enemy and they would fall in before him
B. Find favor and grace in the eyes of G-d and man.
C. Protect from bad decrees on the congregation.
D. No bad decree will occur to him.
E. Read Upright, It is Considered before G-d “as if he lights candles in the temple.
F. He is Guaranteed a place next world.
G. No harm will occur to him in the entire year.

Note : These benefits accrue to those who read it in the shape of the Menorah (in Hebrew) Upright daily. Usually one reads it from a parchment written by a Sofer / Torah Scribe. It is possible that these benefits occur for those who read it from a Menorah on paper. The menorah was on David’s Shield – so either you could say that it was written on a parhment and stuck to the back of his shield (thus one should read it on the parchment) or it was engraved on his metal shield (and thus one could get the benefit even if it is not written on parchment.)
Shiviti / Menorah – For Protection & To Guard from Aveiras / Transgression. King David Had this Menorah inscribed on his shield. When focused on, he received divine protection. Tefilat HaDerech – the wayfarers prayer – the Tefilat / prayer recited before a big trip for protection during travel. Shiviti is also a protection (I put it in my car in front of me).

My Mini-Siddur / Prayer Book
The Easy Guide to Judaism
Most Jews are connected to Judaism. Listen to their conversations. One will say “Shalom” when seeing someone who looks Jewish. Another will advocate for the State of Israel. One will tell Jewish Jokes or talk about Jewish celebrities. Most all will be careful to observe their particular Mitzvah – like doing acts of kindness, giving charity, volunteering, visiting the infirm. Most eat Matza on Passover. It means that all Jews have some kind of inner spark that pulls them to keep a connection with Judaism, whatever level that may be.
This Mini-Siddur / Prayer Book is for those that have a basic interest in Judaism to help them observe the rudimentary but essential Mitzvot in the Torah to supplement that interest.

Letter of the Ramban / Rabbi Moshe ben Nah’man – Nahmanides / Iggeret HaRamban
Letter of the Ramban / Iggeret HaRamban – English
This letter was sent by the Ramban (Rabbi Moshe Nahmanides), zt”l, from his city (of Acre in Eretz Yisrael) to his son in Catalina, Spain to impart to him to act with humility. He instructs him to read it once a week & that others (like his children) should learn it with him as well. He should learn to read it by heart to learn the fear of Heaven from his youth. He informs him that on the day that he reads this letter, all that he asks, will be answered by heaven. And whoever will accustom themselves to saying it will spare themselves from all pains & they are assured to inherit the world to come. (From book Me’ulephet Sappirim.)

The Bayit shel yad must not rest below the lower point of the biceps muscle. Some say that the lowest edge of the biceps muscle is determined when the arm is outstretched and relaxed. Others say that the lowest edge of the biceps muscle is determined when the arm is bent at approximately 90°. Verify that the Bayit is not positioned too low by locating the base of the muscle with one’s finger and making sure that the front edge of the base is above it. If one can place the pinky, ring, and middle fingers between the cleft of the arm and the front edge of the base while the arm is outstretched, then it is most likely in the proper position according to the opinion that the base of the muscle is determined when the arm is outstretched and relaxed. If one can place the index and middle finger between the cleft of the arm and front edge of the base while the arm is bent at approximately 90° then it is most likely in the proper position according to the opinion that the base of the muscle is determined when the arm is bent at approximately 90°.
Tefillin is the crown that we Jews wear daily to remind us of our royal status of being the children of the King of Kings – Hash·m.
The entire bayit shel rosh must rest above the original hairline, which is determined by the hair’s roots. It’s suggested to allow a finger’s width of leeway. One whose hairline has receded should continue to place the Bayit shel rosh above his original hairline, even though hair no longer grows there. Feel along the hairline with the length of the index finger or with the tips of his fingers to verify that the Bayit is resting above it. Draw the index finger and pinky or the index finger and thumb from the sides of the base down to the eyes to verify that the Bayit is centered. The back edge of the Bayit can reach until the top of the head, which is equivalent to the end of the soft spot on a baby’s head. Proper head tefillin placement. Identify this point by running the tip of a finger straight up from the front of the ear. The majority of the knot must rest on the center of the base of the skull. The remainder of the knot may rest just below it in the indentation on the nape. Verify that the majority of the knot is resting on the base of the skull by pressing on the upper part of the knot. If one feels the small, round, protruding bone when pressing, then the knot is in position. If by pressing on the lower part of the knot one feels that it’s in the indentation of the neck, then that verifies that it’s centered. (stam.net)

The Loving Jewish Mother Card
Has 8 Points by the Steipeler Gaon, zt”l on How through Jewish Spirituality a mother can help her child be successful.
The Loving Mother Card – By the Steipeler – R. Yaakov Yisrael Kanievsky – “There is no Fate in Educating Children”
The Education of the Children depends upon that which the mother does. [Like] When the mother acquiesces to her husband even in privacy & does not comment.
Children, raised in a home that the mother davens / prays [the tefilla / prayer] word for word, understand the Gemara / Talmud & Mishna better than any other child!
Children, raised in a home that the mother recites each Berakha / Blessing (ie, on food, morning blessings, etc) slowly & calmly – they have better character traits & less h’utzpa / arrogance.
A mother that prays each day & lifts her eyes to Heaven (to Hash·m), her children are more successful than other children.
Children, raised in a home that the mother acquiesces to her husband & does not comment, have good middot / character traits & a higher level of emotional nourishment than any other child.
Greater than any educational tape (audio) in the world is that she recites the blessing of ‘Shehakol Nihya Bidvaro’ (‘that all was [created] with His word’ / a blessing on beverages & other foods) that a Jewish mother says aloud in the home.
Children, raised in a house that the mother Says Birkat Hamazon / the Grace After Meals aloud, have protection from illnesses & from road accidents & are greatly shielded in Heaven.
A mother that mentions the Name of Heaven / (Hash·m); Yistabah’ Shemo / “Blessed be His Name”; Be’E’zrat Hash·m / “with the help of Hash·m” – each day to her children – there is the grace of Yosef haTzadik (the Righteous – The Son of Jacob) on their faces. – from “Hinukh HaMalkhut” – Education of Royalty

The Symbolism in the Shofar
One of the main mitzvot of Rosh Hashana is to hear the sound of the Shofar. The Shofar is a Ram’s horn. It is narrow at one end and wide at the other.
One reason is to remind us that Hash-m says to us “Pitchu Li Petach Shel Mahat…” Open for Me an needle sized opening and I will open an opening as great as a hall.
Meaning – we just have to take a small step to turn to G-d and He will open all doors for us. Saying Berakhas on food, attending services at an Orthodox Synagogue, putting on tephillin are good openings.
In an article in Ohr Somayach website
it brings 10 reasons for the mitzvah of blowing the shofar, based on Rav Saadiah Gaon
The Meaning of the Shofar
Rosh Hashanah is the day that commemorates the creation of the world and it is described as the “coronation” of Hashem (G-d). As it is customary to sound a trumpet at a king’s coronation so we blow the shofer on Rosh Hashanah.
By blowing the shofar we recognize the “purpose” of the creation.
The shofar blast marks the beginning of a period of amnesty which is known as The Ten Days of Repentance. Repentance is based on the fact that since humanity has been given free-will, and our actions are not pre-determined, we must take responsibility for our actions. The ability to repent teaches us that our future is not bound by our past and that by changing our behavior we have the ability to change our past.
When the Jews accepted the Torah at Mount Sinai, the sound of the shofar is described as “continuously increased and was very great” (Exodus 19:19). The shofar serves to remind us of the revelation at Mt. Sinai and therefore to renew our commitment to Hashem and to accept that Torah morality is absolute and G-d given – not relative, nor does it depend on human understanding.
The prophets called out to the Jewish People and aroused them to improve their ways. The shofar reminds us of the admonitions of the prophets and their calls to repentance. We should be aware of the fact that Hashem communicated with us, via the prophets, and displayed through them His desire to perfect us and not to punish us.
The shofar reminds us to pray for the rebuilding of the Temple where trumpets and shofars were sounded. Just as Hashem manifests His presence in the world in specific places like the Temple in Jerusalem. He also manifests His presence at special times, such as the Ten Days of Repentance.
The ram’s horn reminds us of the Binding of Isaac when Abraham demonstrated his absolute faith in Hashem by being prepared to sacrifice his son. Hashem demonstrated His absolute love for Abraham by having him sacrifice a ram in his place.
The sound of the shofar is supposed to inspire fear in the hearts of those who hear it. It allows one to dwell upon fear of punishment, to progress from there to fear of doing evil and then to fear of G-d. Finally one arrives at the feeling of awe of G-d.
The shofar reminds us of the day of judgment in the future. And inspires us to pray for the perfection of world, all of mankind and the Messianic era.
The sound inspires us to yearn for the ingathering of the Exiles, that will be heralded by the sound of a shofar. There will be absolute unity amongst the Jewish People and our connection to Land of Israel will again be absolute.
The shofar recalls the resurrection of the dead which will be accompanied by the sound of a shofar. As G-d is the source of all life and the creator of all existence so He has complete control over death.
Additional reasons from other sources:
The shofar ushers in the Divine court session and shows our trust in Hashem’s judgement. By showing our eagerness to be judged by Hashem we thus confuse the heavenly prosecutor, the Satan.
Shofar blasts were sounded preceding a war – to rally the troops for action and to call the people together for prayer and repentance. The shofar is therefore like an air raid siren that alerts us to danger, and summons us to action.
