New Moon sets in the West
There is a Jewish prayer that we say on the New Moon, and it is said only for the first seven days! Bircat Ha Levana! Bircat because that is the word for blessing, and Levana for the moon.
For more information about the New Moon and the history of this short prayer service go here:

Sayings of the Fathers 1
The Sayings of the Fathers or פרקי אבות is "The Secret" of Jewish life. The Rabbis of the Mishna collected here all the mussar sayings, that is all the advice they have for you to live a happy and healthy life. They start with the history, telling us that all this knowledge and that of the Torah, Oral and Written comes ultimately from Moshe, Our Teacher on Mount Sinai. It was passed down through the ages by word of mouth by each successive generation until it came to Rebbe, of Sainted Memory when it was written down for us to study and apply to our lives. Each week, Jews all over the world study a chapter of the Sayings of the Fathers. In this way their wisdom continues to guide and inspire us every week.
This week, I received as a gift from a distant cousin, who lives down the street from me coincidentally, and we are friends, (rare in my family). So she gave me a copy of the פרקי אבות, with commentary of Rabbi Dr. Joseph H. Hertz, Chief Rabbi of the British Empire, published in 1945! Well, as I study in the original Hebrew, usually, I picked up the book expecting to use it to just read the Hebrew, but the commentary opened my eyes to the פרקי אבות as never before!
I turned to Chapter 1 Mishna 14 the famous יד) הוא היה אומר אם אין לי מי לי וכשאני לעצמי מה אני ואם לי עכשו אימתי
14. He used to say, If I am not for myself, who will be for me? And if I am only for myself, what am I:? And if not now, when?
In America where I grew up we read this Mishna to mean that we have to do social action. Help the poor, feed the hungry, and during the 1970's when I was a kid, we gave our Tzdaka money every week to help get the Jews out of Russia.
Well the Jews are out of Russia, and the poor and hungry will not leave the Earth. We need to do social action, but there is much more in this Mishna than meet the eye at first.
He - the Mishna is talking about Hillel. "Had Hillel left us but this single saying, we should be forever grateful to him; for scarce anything can be said more said more briefly, more profoundly, or more earbestkt: (H. Ewald) page 24 Hertz
What does this saying have to say? To me, it says that Hashem has given us all certain talents, circumstances, time frame that we live and the century. It is up to us to use these G-d given attributes to the best of our abilities. We are not dealt a blank page on which to write. We are given tools to work with. It may take time to figure out exactly which tools that will be the most useful, profitable and enjoyable. If you don't use your talents to the best of your ability, then you not achieve anything in this world.
But it not enough to only to use these talents for yourself. You have to be engaged in the world. You have to make the world a better place. We can't all be Mahatma Ghandi, The Rebbe or the Prime Minister to change the world. You can be yourself and carve out your own niche. Decide what type of problems you like to solve. A doctor solves health problems. A teacher solves learning problems. A Real Estate agent solves housing problems. What type of problems do you like to solve? Or are you good at solving?
The last part is the call to action. We live in the present. Always.
The past is gone. I can remember the past, I can change my memory of the past, I can change my feelings about the past. This is what we do when we use NLP to change our feelings about past events.
The future is not here yet. I can't live in the future, for then it will never come. I can plan for the future. I can make appointments for the future. I can set goals for the future, and I write them in the present tense. I am successful. I have a loving family. These may be goals for the future, and if I feel them, see them, visualize them as happening now, then they are happening now.
Take this Mishna and feel it. Use it.
Have a great week.

Coloring hair needs lots of care
Coloring hair needs lots of planning and care, before the process as well as during the actual coloring.
Before I do a hair color job, I meet with the client to discuss any color issues that have happened in the past, allergies and of course the current color choices. I do an allergy test, take a bit of the hair color, place it behind the ear, and wait 48 hours. If there is no reaction, then it is safe to do the hair color. Usually there are no problems, but it is best to be safe than sorry.
Most hair coloring products have ammonia, and use hydrogen peroxide to help the dye work. I use these products if the client has used them in the
past and everything has gone well. Professional hair color products are more reliable than what you buy in the drug store, for the most part. What you see on the color chart is usually what you are going to get as a finished product. But if the client wants to cover grey hair, then you have to mix two different bases, so the final look will turn out correctly.
I have found a new line of hair color that does not have ammonia or use hydrogen peroxide. (picture here on the left) This product works well, has a nice smell, doesn't stain the skin, and most of the hair color stays in the hair, not much rinses out afterwards. The color range is very small. I used the Brown-Red חום ערומי today, and it turned out more red than brown. We did a test area to see if she liked the result. If you like the shade of red, it came out very well. The grey coverage is good, and the hair is very soft to the touch. This type of hair color can also be used as a color rinse, to give highlights, but the hair has to be wet before starting. A regular dye job the hair has to be dry. We did the dry method so the color should last for a month, it really depends upon how many washes a week a person does, whether you go out into the sun, and many other factors.
This is the current catalog of colors available for the no ammonia, no hydrogen peroxide. The colors come out, in my opinion much lighter than what you see here. We can also mix the colors for more shades.
If you would like to color your hair, I will come to you in Jerusalem. Also available hair cuts, fan, up du, and wig wash and fan.
Shabbat Shalom,
Rachael Alice
