After Crushing His Opponent, Salita Learns Tanya

In Dmitriy Salita’s second fight since his loss to Amir Kahn in England, he came out swinging, and in three short rounds Salita KO’d James Wayka. The sold out crowd at Roseland Ballroom also enjoyed Matisyahu as he sang Dmitriy into the ring with his classic “King Without a Crown”. A reader sent us this photo of Dmitriy in his dressing room after the fight, studying the daily Tanya portion.

Friday – The Fast of Asarah B’Tevet

Chabad.org

The Fast begins at 5:46am and ends at 5:00pm

On the 10th of Tevet of the year 3336 from Creation (425 BCE), the armies of the Babylonian emperor Nebuchadnezzar laid siege to Jerusalem. Thirty months later — on the 17th of Tammuz, 3338 — the city walls were breached, and on the 9th of Av that year, the Holy Temple was destroyed. The Jewish people were exiled to Babylonia for 70 years.

“Come! Everybody gather 'round and I will tell you what is going to happen to you when the end of days will be;”quite a catchy sound byte. Well this is the enticing 'hook' which our forefather said to his twelve great sons. Bet you want to know what the great prophet revealed next! Not what you expected.

This week's Torah portion, Vayechi, which completes the book of Bereishis, finds Yaakov on his death bed surrounded by his children. Sensing the approach of his final time in this world, Yaakov secures Yosef’s commitment to execute his wishes not to be buried in Egypt, but rather in the land of Israel. Yaakov then summons his twelve sons and prepares to convey his final words:
