The Farbrengen, arranged for the past 28 years, by Rabbi Meir Harlig, who also chaired the event opened with an address by Rabbi Yisroel Gordon, who read the Rebbe’s kapitel Tehillim.

West Windsor, NJ — With every Christmas tree we light — on public property, in an age of political correctness — come questions of freedom of speech and the separation of church and state.
Going back on a preliminary legal opinion not to allow Rabbi Sholom Leverton and Chabad of the Windsors to erect a lighted menorah in the Ron Rogers Arboretum at Clarksville Road and Route 571, township attorney Michael Herbert said the group should not be barred from displaying a menorah near the township’s Christmas tree display.
“We issued a preliminary opinion that it would not be permissible because cases hold that public property cannot be used to promote a religion,” Mr. Herbert said. “We’re simply trying to follow the law without taking sides.”
PLEASANTON — A peek behind an embroidered covering with the words “Chabad of the Tri-Valley” reveals a smaller-than-average Torah, smuggled out of Communist Russia.
But the keepers of the scrolls, Pleasanton residents Rabbi Raleigh and Fruma Resnick of Pleasanton, want Judaism to be practiced far less clandestinely than was necessary at the time in Eastern Europe.
The New York natives have come to the Valley to form a Chabad Center they hope will serve as a “beacon of light” that draws Jews together to celebrate the sabbath, holidays and their faith.
