Rabbi Yossi Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL
Well, the neighborhood bully, he's just one man,
His enemies' say he's on their land.
They got him outnumbered about a million to one,
He got no place to escape to, no place to run.
He's the neighborhood bully.

The neighborhood bully just lives to survive,
He's criticized and condemned for being alive.
He's not supposed to fight back, he's supposed to have thick skin,
He's supposed to lay down and die when his door is kicked in.
He's the neighborhood bully.

Fighting Chutzpah with Chutzpah

Rabbi Yossi Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL

Well, the neighborhood bully, he’s just one man,
His enemies’ say he’s on their land.
They got him outnumbered about a million to one,
He got no place to escape to, no place to run.
He’s the neighborhood bully.

The neighborhood bully just lives to survive,
He’s criticized and condemned for being alive.
He’s not supposed to fight back, he’s supposed to have thick skin,
He’s supposed to lay down and die when his door is kicked in.
He’s the neighborhood bully.

Judge Bars Aggressive Vandal from Entering 770

Thaler being led out in handcuffs.

Earlier this week Judge Ira Harkavy, justice in the State Supreme Court placed Yaakov Tahler in contempt of court and gave Merkos and Aguch a temporary restraining order denying him of stepping within 25 feet of 770 (including 784 and 788). This comes after the courts found Thaler and his cohorts guilty of deface and damaging 770 last year. The judge said that this was done “in order to protect its dignity” referring to Thaler violating the terms set forth in June of this year.

This judgment reaffirms what the Rebbe noted to the Hanhola of the Central Yeshiva in 5751: “Take their belongings and their hands and go to Bnei Brak or someplace else”. A hearing to determine the final verdict is set for later this month.

R. Moshe Feiglin watches as workers put final touches on the facade of the building earlier this year.

ALIYA (Alternative Learning Institute for Young Adults), under the banner of Chabad Inreach, will IY”H be closing on its new headquarters at 525-527 East New York Ave. this month.

These buildings will provide a base out of which we will continue to cater to the needs of our youth who aren’t being serviced by the Yeshiva system.

Seth Mandel - The Jewish State
Rabbi Avraham Altein (from left), East Brunswick resident Monty Block, Rabbi Eliezer Zaklikovsky, Rabbi Moshe Zaklikovsky, and S resident Harold Rosenblatt were among the nearly 4,000 Chabad rabbis and their lay leaders at Sunday night's annual international Conference of Shluchim banquet, in Somerset.

At the first International Conference of Shluchim — the annual gathering of Chabad rabbis and lay leaders — it took about seven minutes for all the representatives to introduce themselves at the culminating banquet.

On Sunday night, the roll call was a little different; it took more than that amount of time for the program’s emcee, Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky, to announce the 72 countries that were represented by the banquet’s nearly 4,000 attendees.

The Rebbe says:

1. In this weeks Parshah Ya’akov Avinu (our father) meets with his brother Eisav after many years of not seeing each other. When Ya’akov Avinu had taken the Blessing from his father Yitzchak that was “supposed” to go to his brother Eisav he ran away in fear of Eisav’s wrath. Now Ya’akov Avinu is about to meet with his brother Eisav for the first time after this incident. Ya’akov Avinu is nervous about what his brother Eisav will do to him and therefore he sends angels to speak to Eisav before he actually sees him again.

2. Part of the message that Ya’akov Avinu tells the angels to give over to Eisav is “Eem Lavan Garti – I lived as a guest with Lavan” (see Chapter 32, Verse 5). Rashi (an acronym for Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki, he wrote a super-commentary on the Bible and Talmud) writes that what Ya’akov Avinu meant to tell his brother Eisav was that he had kept all of the 613 Torah commandments even though he had lived with their wicked Uncle Lavan. Rashi writes that he knows this explanation because the word “Garti – I lived as a guest” has the numerical value of 613, and the total amount of commandments from the Torah is 613.
