In the Jewish community, completion of a Torah, a sacred text with 304,805 letters, marks a major accomplishment.

Shliach Appointed Rabbi of Berlin Community

by Tamar Runyan – Chabad.org

Jewish community chairman Dr. Gideon Joffe, Israeli Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger and Chabad-Lubavitch Rabbi Yehuda Tiechtel display the document granting Tiechtel the title of “rabbi of the Jewish community” of Berlin.

Amidst a day of meetings with Israeli Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger and German officials over how their country’s justice system approaches the issue of ritual infant circumcision, Chabad-Lubavitch of Berlin director Rabbi Yehuda Tiechtel formally accepted the title of “Rabbi of the Community” from Jewish Community of Berlin chairman Dr. Gideon Joffe.

The Paradox of Prayer

One of the most fundamental paradoxes in Judaism and faith in God is that of prayer. We are commanded to pray three times daily and in times of distress, to beseech of God that He provide us with our fundamental human needs and desires such as health, livelihood and children.

Op-Ed: Is He Missing or Is He Not?

by Anonymous

I am a member of the volunteer corps organized by Shomrim yesterday in search of Yakov Gourin, the missing French Twin. I penned this op-ed to describe the hardships we experienced over the uncertainty and conflicting reports that emerged from various news outlets over the course of the day, and the potential dangers posed by them.

We are pleased to report that as of 4:30 this morning Yakov has been found and is doing fine. It turns out that he just wanted to take a break from a long summer of hard work, and impulsively decided to leave for a few days vacation. He will return to Crown Heights in the near future.
