This section begins with the commandment of lighting the Menora.

Rashi comments (8:2) that when Moses' brother, Aaron the High Priest, felt bad because G-d did not ask him to bring an offering for the Tabernacle like the other heads of the tribes (Num. 7:1-83), G-d consoled him:

“Don't worry, you get to light the Menora, which is even greater!”

And to this very day the Menora is undoubtedly the best known vessel in the Holy Temple.

But it is also the most misrepresented...

The partly destroyed Shul.
Despite widespread international protests, authorities in Tajikistan are still planning to demolish the country's only synagogue to make way for the expansion of a presidential palace, The Jerusalem Post has learned.

And while the precise timing of the synagogue's destruction remains unclear, there are indications that it might be carried out before the end of the month.

In February, local demolition teams began tearing down the century-old synagogue in the Tajik capital of Dushanbe, but halted in the wake of an outcry from abroad, though not before they had managed to raze the community's mikve, an office and a classroom.

Tajikistan’s synagogue could be razed in two weeks

Former chief rabbi of Israel urges Jews to unite

Canadian Jewish News. Photos: COL.org.il

Toronto, Canada — Just days before his devastating second stroke in January, then-Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon called Rabbi Israel Meir Lau to discuss a government position he had in mind for him in the Kadimah party, the former Ashkenazi chief rabbi of Israel told a Toronto audience last week.

Sharon asked for Rabbi Lau’s help addressing two issues: the disconnection between Jews in the Diaspora and Jews in Israel, and the disconnection between Israeli youth and Jewish tradition, said the rabbi, who is now chief rabbi of Tel Aviv. He was speaking to a crowd of almost 1,200 people at the third annual Spirit of Community dinner held by Beth Chabad Israeli Community Centre at Vaughan’s Renaissance Parque Centre.

An aerial shot of downtown Manhattan I took on approach to LGA.

Some of you have noticed, and some of you haven’t. I was away on a short vacation and had not posted any news for six days, and now I am back.
