Torah Reading Shemot: Exodus 1:1 - 6:1 Isaiah 27:6 - 28:13; Isaiah 29:22-23 Jewish History Shimon Born (1567 BCE) Shimon, the second son of Jacob and Leah and the progenitor of the Israelite tribe of Shimon, was born on Tevet 21 (according to another opinion, on Tevet 28), of the year 2194 from creation (1567 BCE), nine years after Jacob's arrival in Charan. Link: More on Shimon Purim Ancona (1690) On December 23 (21 Teves), 1690, strong earthquakes rattled the city of Ancona, Italy, causing numerous structures to collapse and placing its inhabitants in mortal danger. Miraculously, the Jewish quarter was spared, suffering the collapse of only one house. In commemoration of this event, the local Jewish community established that date as a day of celebration and song, while the previous day—20 Teves—would be marked yearly by fasting and charity (Or Boker, p. 48a).

Daily Study Chumash Parshat Shemot, 7th Portion (Exodus 5:1-6:1) Psalms Chapters 104-105 Tanya Likutei Amarim, beginning of Chapter 14 Rambam 3 Chapters, 1 Chapter, Sefer Hamitzvot Hayom Yom Today's Hayom Yom Daily Thought Confidence & Humility True confidence is best found in those who are truly humble. Moses was the most humble of all men. Yet he had the confidence to stand before the mightiest dictator on earth and assert his demands. He had the confidence to stand before G‑d and listen without losing his composure. He had the confidence, when necessary, even to argue with G‑d. Yet he considered himself to be truly nothing. The confidence of Moses was not confidence in his own self. He had no self. He was but an agent of Above. Above there is infinite power. Self-confidence is limited, at best. But if you trust in the One who has sent you to be here and do what you need to do—that confidence knows no bounds.
