The Rebbe says:

1. This week we begin a new Book in the “Five Books of Moses” called Chumash Bamidbar or as it is referred to as “The Book of Numbers”.

The first portion in Chumash Bamidbar is called Bamidbar, and we read this Torah portion every year on the Shabbos before the festival of Shavous (which is the anniversary of the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai).

2. The simple reason why we read Parshas (the portion of) Bamidbar before Shavous is to make a separation between the curses which we read in the previous week's Torah portion of Bechukosai and the giving of the Torah (Shavous). However since everything in Torah is perfectly exact (indeed our Sages learn out numerous Laws from one letter in the Torah), we must say that there is a reason why the portion of Bamidbar was specifically chosen to be the portion which we read before the festival of Shavous and not any other portion.

Roseville Press Tribune
Rabbi Yossi Korik
Roseville, CA — Roseville's Jewish population might not rival those of New York or Los Angeles, but that doesn't mean local Jews shouldn't have access to enriching educational opportunities, one Roseville rabbi says.

The Placer County Jewish Learning Academy is the latest offering from Chabad of Roseville, and Rabbi Yossi Korik hopes it goes a long way toward explaining key tenants of the faith to those of all levels of familiarity with Judaism.

“The most important thing is education; that's what keeps people with the traditions,” he said. “It's very important in any religion to be educated and Chabad wants to provide to the community education at all levels.”

Jupiter, FL — Abacoa residents got a first glimpse of the Chabad Jewish Center of Jupiter on Monday night, and there were more questions than answers.

The 25,000-square-foot center will be located on a 1 1/2-acre parcel at the corner of Marlberry Circle and University Drive, directly behind the new SunTrust Bank and Regions Bank under construction.

It will contain a sanctuary area, as well as classrooms, a kitchen, social hall, library and offices, and a small, third-floor study area for Jewish FAU students.

Two days before the six day war broke out, 40 years ago on the 27th of Iyyar 5727, the Rebbe came out with the ‘Mivtza Tefillin’ campaign for soldiers and all Yidden to put on Tefillin.

Following here is an excerpt from the video ‘Peace upon the Land’ produced by JEM (you can buy it by Clicking Here) where the Rebbe speaks about the war, how we should have no fear and how the nations that descend upon us will fear us and scatter.
