Riddle of the Week A king challenges two noblemen to a horse race, and the winner receives a treasure chest filled with gold. He says the one whose horse ar-rives at the finish line last will win the race. They wander on their horses aimlessly for days, until they seek the advice of a wise man, after which they jump on the horses and race as fast as they can to the finish line. What did the wise man tell them to do?

Last Week's Answer: 1. Moves wine, leaves soda and milk together. Kitchen now has wine; 2. Returns and moves soda and takes wine back. Kitchen has soda; 3. Returns and moves the milk. Kitchen has soda and milk; 4. Returns and brings the wine over. Kitchen has soda, milk, and wine. An easy million!

• One may recite Vayechulu (p. 346) even alone. Preferably it should be said with another person. One does not recite Magen Avos.

• While one cannot fufill the mitzvah of Torah reading without a minyan, it is commendable to read the Parsha and Haftarah to oneself with the family. The brachos for the Haftarah are not recited.

• Yekum Purkan is not recited without a • minyan. Some have the minhag to recite just the

first Yekum Purkan paragraph (p. 448).• Av Harachamim (p. 454) is recited this

Shabbos. • We recite V’Ani Sefilosi (p. 506) even though we

are not reading the Torah.• Tzidkoscha (p. 524) is recited this week.• Pirkei Avos Chapter 5 is studied this week.• Last time to recite Kiddush Levana is this Motzei
