San Mateo, CA — Today’s teenagers are probably the single segment of the Jewish population most difficult to engage. Here’s how one Chabad couple, keenly attuned to the interests of local teenagers, have found a way to draw them in, to the benefit of the entire community.
Bucharest, Romania — In a scene not seen in Romania since before WWII, thousands gathered to the festive grand opening of a newly restored 200 year-old Bucharest synagogue and the dedication of two new Torah scrolls, as Romanian national TV televised the event.
Howard Beach, NY — Rabbi Tzvi Berkowitz, the director of Howard Beach’s Rockwood Park Jewish Center, rocked to the cadence of the Exodus verses that opened last Saturday morning’s Shabbat service. At the synagogue’s lectern, he then, like hundreds of other clergy people conducting weekend services throughout the borough, referenced scripture in his exaltation of virtues such as tolerance, charity and honesty. And though the 25 worshippers present listened with rapt attention, Berkowitz — like these other clergy people — still found himself addressing a congregation significantly smaller than those his predecessors did.
The Rebbe says:
1. In this week’s Torah portion Hashem tells the Yidin (Jewish people) to make a dwelling place for Him; the Jewish people are to take 13 different types of supplies and donate them to the Tabernacle (Mishkan). Hashem then promises the Yidin that He will rest in the Tabernacle that they will make for Him (Chapter 25, Verse 8).
Hashem was saying that even though the Tabernacle would be very limited to an exact size and specific materials, He would rest there. Even though the Tabernacle would go with the Yidin on their journeys throughout the desert and be moved from place to place, Hashem promises to rest there.
