Today the 1st of Shevat , Jan. 8 in Jewish History


On the 1st day of Shevat, the Biblical plague of ARBEH (locust) started to the Egyptians at the time when the Jews were in the Egyptian exile.


These arbeh were not ordinary locusts. They ate up all of the grain and vegetation that was left in the fields after the plague of barad (hail). No greenery remained on the trees or the crops of the field in the entire land of Egypt. This was middah kineged middah (measure for measure), for the Jewish slaves had cultivated those fields. The arbeh even ate the clothing and jewelry that the Egyptians were wearing. They penetrated into the innermost rooms of their homes. Normal locusts are harmless, but these arbeh had venomous saliva which killed the Egyptians.
Kosher Corner
Calcium is an essential mineral with a wide range of biological roles and is one of the most important minerals you should take in order to maintain good health. While the majority of calcium is located in the bones and the teeth it is also required for blood coagulation, nerve function, production of energy, the beating of the heart, proper immune function and muscle contraction. But most of us recognize calcium for the possible role it plays in preventing the onset of osteoporosis.
Taking non-kosher vitamins can be problematic for kosher consumers since they may contain non-kosher ingredients. In today's Kosher Health Food market there are many calcium supplements available. What we find that is best, at least to people who prefer chewable calcium is the Kosher Chewable Calcium Complex by Maxi Health. This kosher calcium provides great nutrition, is kosher and above all has a great taste.
