As we begin the Torah cycle, we are heartbroken by the sudden and profound loss of Rabbi Moshe Hauer, zt"l, whose voice of Torah and heart of compassion guided so many. His teachings were marked by clarity, sincerity, and a deep love for Hashem and His people. Even in sorrow, we find direction in the Torah he so passionately shared — to live with faith, integrity, and purpose. As we turn to the parsha, may our learning this week serve as a tribute to his enduring legacy, and may we carry his spirit of humility and devotion into our own Torah journeys.

Torat Imecha Parsha is dedicated by Brenda Gewurz, l'ilui nishmat her beloved husband, Shmuel ben Yehuda Leib, and Rochel Mirel, whose love of studying parsha was an example to all.
