A Thought for the Week CONCERT A unique Torah publication, disseminated over the globe to hundreds of thousands of Jews, is written, translated, adapted, printed, published and disseminated from our own Detroit! This publication, the ... "THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK," essays on the weekly 'SIRDA'—tLe Torah-reading, have been translated into Yiddish, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Swedish and Spanish. They have also been transposed into braille—bringing the light of Torah to the blind. In a sense this characterizes the essential function of the "Thought For The Week," to dispel darkness. A great man once said: "You cannot drive darkness away by flapping a tower at it, it is light that dissipates darkness:" even a small solitary candle drives away a great deal of gloomy blackness. This brief Torah-Message, "A Thought For The Week," a small but intense source of light illuminating the lives of hundreds of thousands of our readers, can dispel the blackness of the undesirable and unwholesome literature that unfortunately abounds in our society.
