Yud Tes Kislev came alive for the young students in Beis Rivkas Headstart and Early Headstart! The teachers together with students reenacted the story of arrest and release of the Alter Rebbe by making props, dressing up, and acting.
As kids, there was an elderly man who liked to tease my friends and I: “So you belong to Chabad,” he would affably rib, “All right, then you have Chachma, Bina and Daas. But what about “Seichel?” trust me, it couldn’t hurt to add a touch of Seichel into the mix.”
Yud-Tes (19) Kislev, marking the release of the first Chabad Rebbe, Shneur Zalman of Liadi, from prison over two centuries ago, is the high point of the Chassidic calendar, eventually becoming known as the “Rosh Hashana of Chassidism.” Every year, followers would make special gatherings in celebration and spiritual reflection; in time Jews of other sects began to honor this special day as well.
Darchai Menachem held a student auction yesterday. The auction which is held 3 times a year gives the chance for kids to cash in on earned points for a prize.
After almost a year of planning and development by Chabad.org’s content, programming and design teams, Chabad.org is very pleased to announce the debut of a new Tanya site on Chabad.org.
