COOPER CITY, FL [CHI] — Torah in honor of son for his complete recovery. On Sunday morning, June 8, at 12 noon, just prior to the Festival of Shavuot, the anniversary of G-d giving the Ten Commandments 3320 years earlier, Chabad of Southwest Broward will fill in the final letters of a brand new Sefardic – Middle Eastern – Torah.

“What better way to celebrate the Jews receiving the Torah than us welcoming into our community such a meaningful new Torah,” said Rabbi Pinny, Spiritual Leader and Director of Chabad.

The Rebbe says:

1. The Talmud tells us that when Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses our teacher) ascended to the Heavenly heights to receive the Torah the ministering angels asked Hashem (G-d) why He was giving the precious and coveted Torah “which has been stored by Hashem for two thousand years before the creation of the world” to people of flesh and blood and not “bestowing His glory upon the Heavens”. Hashem then told Moshe Rabbeinu to answer the angels.

Moshe said, “Master of the Universe, the Torah that You are giving me, what is written in it? ‘I am Hashem your G-d Who has taken you out of the land of Egypt’”. Moshe then said to the angels, “Did you descend to Egypt? Were you enslaved to Pharaoh? Why should the Torah be your?
What else is written in the Torah? ‘There shall not be unto you gods of others’. Do you live among the nations who worship idols?
What else is written in it? ‘Remember the Sabbath day to sanctify it’. Do you engage in any labor from which you would need to rest?

D’Ann Lawrence White - The Tampa Tribune
LITHIA, FL — Running her fingers through her middle child's long, curly locks for the last time, Tzippy Rubashkin said she had mixed feelings about her 3-year-old's first haircut.

Called the upsherinish ceremony, the first haircut represents a milestone in the Orthodox Jewish faith. Rubashkin said she will miss the long brown locks she used to capture in a bun and attempt to hold in place beneath a cap, though a few errant curls usually managed to escape.

Levi Kagan, a scribe from Detroit, attends a Torah inauguration ceremony at the Chabad Jewish Center in Vancouver. Kagan did the first few characters on the Jewish sacred text Friday.

VANCOUVER, WA — This is how important the Torah has been to the family of Rabbi Shmulik Greenberg: It’s measured by the opportunity the Greenbergs had 42 years ago when they were allowed to leave the Soviet Union and settle in the promised land.

Rabbi Levi Welton, as the biblical monarch, enraptures children with his “King David Show.”

Aside from the fact that the holiday of Shavuot marks the giving of the Torah to the Jewish people more than 3,320 years ago, the summer festival has an added significance for Rabbi Levi Welton.
