This Shabbat In Jewish History

Plague of Darkness (1313 CE)
The 9th plague to strike the Egyptians for their refusal to release the Children of Israel from slavery -- a thick darkness that blanketed the land so that "no man saw his fellow, and no man could move from his place" (Exodus 10:23) -- commenced on the 1st of Adar, six weeks before the Exodus.

Passing of Ibn Ezra (1164)
The highly regarded Biblical commentator, Rabbi Avraham ben Meir Ibn Ezra (1089?-1164), passed away on Adar 1.

Passing of Shach (circa 1663)
Adar 1 is also the yahrtzeit (anniversary of the passing) of the great Halachist Rabbi Shabtai Hakohen Katz (1621-1663?), author of the Siftei Cohen commentary on Rabbi Yosef Caro's Code of Jewish Law. He is known as "Shach" -- an acronym of the name of his work, which serves to this day as a primary source of Halachah (Jewish law).

Please let us know if you would like to read a parsha of the Torah or a Haftorah on Shabbat morning. Please let us know if you would like to sponsor a Kiddush, a Gemara shiur or a Jewish History class.
