A New Torah Comes To Umhlanga Rocks

Umhlanga Rocks, South Africa — A strapping Zulu tribesman, garbed in sheepskins and colorful, woven cloaks, resplendent in his five-foot tall headdress of cattle horns, feathers dyed blood red and black, furs and mirror-studded mosaics led the parade in honor of a new Torah to be housed in the new Chabad Outreach Center of Umhlanga, Kwazulu Natal, on the north coast of South Africa. Leaping as he strode along the route, the Zulu – and his two-wheeled rickshaw cart – added a dash of local color to the procession of 200 well wishers and community members who danced and sang their way to the center on 11 Flamingo Road, dedicated in memory of Shana Weisman by her brothers, Brett and Mark Levy.

Gimmel Tammuz with 6 Chabad Houses in Brooklyn

Two sister synagogues, Congregation B’nai Avraham of Brooklyn Heights and B’nai Jacob of Park Slope, celebrated Gimel Tammuz on Wednesday night, June 28, 2006.

It was organized by all six Chabad houses of Brownstone Brooklyn. As firm bulwarks of Chabad Lubavitch in Brownstone Brooklyn, the shuls’ congregants got together at B’nai Jacob, 401 Ninth Street, to honor the Rebbe, to bask in his positive outlook for Yiddishkeit, and to refuel at the fountain of optimism for further outreach opportunities.
