Elder Baruch was a prominent voice in the online "Community Watch" group for the neighborhood of Beit Shalom (House of Peace). He would post daily, sternly reminding everyone about the regulations for waste disposal, the importance of maintaining pristine lawns, and the necessity of adhering to quiet hours. "We must all do our part," he would type, "to uphold the shalom (peace) and order of our community. No short-cuts, no exceptions!" He was quick to publicly call out any neighbor who dared to leave a rubbish bin out too long or whose children played too loudly past sunset.

Most of us have heard the story of the Transfiguration. We can picture it: Yahshua on a high mountain, His face shining like the sun as His clothes become a brilliant, dazzling white. The appearance of Moses and Elijah, followed by a voice from a cloud, makes it one of the most dramatic scenes in the Gospels. But for many, the story remains a beautiful yet distant miracle, its full significance just out of reach.

In the bustling world of open-source development, a young programmer named Elazar joined the team behind "ShalomOS," a complex and vital operating system used by millions. The project was known for its robust stability and elegant design, built over decades by countless dedicated hands. Alongside the vast codebase, there was a meticulously crafted "Architecture Guide" and a "Code of Conduct" – documents that detailed every standard, protocol, and principle for contributing. These guides were not mere suggestions but the accumulated chokmah (wisdom) of the community, designed to ensure the system's integrity and seamless operation.

"Another parable Yahshua put forth to them, saying: 'The malchut (kingdom) of the heavens is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field, which indeed is the least of all seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.'"— Matthew (Mattityahu) 13:31-32

Luke (Luqa) 15:8-10 "Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? And when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I lost!’ Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the messengers of Elohim over one sinner who repents."
