Eber’s Pesach Sale 2024
Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL
On a freezing winter night as Napoleon layed under his warm covers, he was overcome by a sudden bout of thirst. Considering that in order to satisfy his craving he would have to leave his cozy conditions and go outside to fetch some water, he contemplated ignoring his nagging discomfort, but was quickly overcome by a powerful sense of shame.“Napoleon! You have become all but lazy,” he said to himself. “There is evidently no difference between you and the common yokel.” With that, he tore himself out of bed and proceeded out the door to fetch himself some water.

BOSTON, MA — Purim, more than any other holiday, say Chabad-on-campus representatives, brings in crowds of students who otherwise keep a safe distance from anything that feels too Jewish. It’s the time of year to reach the unreachable, like Jewish students living in fraternity and sorority houses.

The Rebbe says:
1. This week’s Torah portion begins a new Chumash (book) in the Torah (the Five Books of Moses) named Vayikra (Leviticus). Chumash Vayikra mainly deals with the sacrifices that the Jewish people brought to Hashem in the Beis Hamikdash (the Holy Temple) and it details the work of the Kohanim (the priests).
2. The Torah is everlasting and its lessons are eternal beacons of light which guide the life of every single Jew throughout every generation.
If this rule is generally true with the whole Torah, it is especially true with the lessons that we can learn from the Beis Hamikdash (the Holy Temple) because every single Jew is a “miniature Beis Hamikdash”. As we have pointed out many times, when Hashem promised to rest in the Tabernacle He said, “Make for Me a Temple and I will rest in them” , and our Sages explain that Hashem said, “in them”, in the plural sense, to tell us that every single Jew is just like His Temple in that if they act according to His will He will rest in them.
