This Shabbos at the Besht, Rabbi Mendel Feldman, Gabbai of Empire Shtiebel, will lead a discussion on the topic of the Mitzvah of Tzitzis.
In this week’s edition of Letter & Spirit, we present a letter of the Rebbe in which he answers the age-old and universal question – why do good people suffer? The letter was written through the Rebbe’s trusted secretary Rabbi Nissan Mindel, and was made available by his son-in-law Rabbi Sholom Ber Shapiro.
After 72 hours of ‘ceasefire,’ at 8:00am this morning, the sounds of air raid sirens, civilians scrambling to safe areas and rockets exploding were heard throughout Ashkelon. By 2:00pm, over 50 rockets had landed in the area.
What a difference a week can make. Last Shabbos was Shabbos Chazon, the height of the three week period of mourning. On Shabbos Chazon we read the third of the three Haftora’s of rebuke, in which the prophet Yishayahu forewarns about the impending disaster that was about to befall the Jewish people as a result of their sins.
CrownHeights.info and Lubavitch Archives present a unique photo of the Rebbe after Mincha at a children’s rally, circa mid-1970s.

For Allison Solomon, who lives in Toronto, Chabad Lubavitch of Markham in Thornhill has been a source of joy, support and identity.
Over the years, Yeshiva Summer Program of Morristown, NJ has received some direct unique instructions from the Rebbe. Years ago, Rabbi Yisroel Gordon (YSP’s founder) was in Yechidus and the Rebbe instructed him to make sure to take photos of the programs and events he does, so people will remember.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took time off from his many pressing affairs last night to write a letter in a new Sefer Torah, which is being written in honor of the soldiers of the Israeli Defense Force.
The commanders of the Iron Dome defense system in the vicinity of Kfar Chabad turned the tables today, when they met with leaders and volunteers from the small Lubavitch enclave and thanked them.
No More, a song composed by Crown Heights songwriter Sarah Dukes, is a soulful tribute to the three Israeli teenagers, Eyal Yifrach, Gilad Shaar and Naftali Fraenkel, who were brutally murdered by Palestinian Terrorists earlier this summer.
They were three friends, fighters in the IDF’s armored brigade, who served together for months, waiting for their turn to go into Gaza and fight the terrorists. But at that moment the worst happened: a mortar shell fired by the enemy exploded nearby and killed all three, along with another soldier who was nearby.
The current war in Gaza did not have to happen. It is a result of the actions of the Israeli government and its supporters, including American backers, and complacent Jews in Eretz Yisroel and abroad. This war is one of the grave consequences of The Disengagement Plan, i.e., the expulsion of Jews, both soldiers and residents, from the Gaza Strip, and the resultant predictable empowerment of Hamas.
