Mordechai and Raizel Schwei (Crown Heights)
From the Safer Haminhagim: Every day from Rosh Chodesh Nissan until the twelfth of the month, one reads the passage that describes the offering brought on that day by a particular Nasi, or tribal prince, for the dedication of the altar of the Mishkan.
You can almost hear the crash of marching band cymbals, and the 12 Torah Pesukim clearly ringing out over a tree-lined Eastern Parkway, New York, thronging with thousands of people. After far too long a wait, this coming Lag Baomer; Sunday, April 28, at 10:00 am; it’s the world’s greatest Jewish children’s event – The Great Parade!

Rabbi Michoel Teitelbaum, the person who opened Yeshiva Oholei Torah, was born in 1912, in Russia,. During his childhood, WWI broke out and followed by the Communist revolution when he literally began tasting msiras nefesh, and attained his Torah and Chassidus under difficult conditions. He studied a short while in Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim in Nevel, with legendary figures in the group as Reb Mendel Futerfas and others. The Yeshiva was forced to close and the bochurim settled in Kremenshuk. There they created small underground cells in which they studied Torah and Chassidus. They had very little food, and slept, sometimes on a bench in a shul or in the park.
Yud Alef Nissan Special: Every year, I received a gift of honey cake from the Rebbe, in honor of the New Year. In a “thank you” letter one year, I cited a story in the last chapter of my book, where I quote a remark of Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, the founder of the Chabad movement, which he posed to a government official. Rabbi Schneur Zalman said that G-d asks all of us, “‘Ayeka?’ Where are you?”
Bochurim, Anash and Shluchim gathered at the Ohel for a special Farbrengen in honor of Yud Alef Nissan, the Rebbes 111th birthday. Among those who farbrgenged was Rabbi Mendel Feller from Minnesota, Rabbi Danny Moscowitz from Illinois and Rabbi Berel Shemtov from Michigan.
As Chassidim of the Rebbe, we are always on the lookout for ways to fulfill our shlichus. This Yud Alef Nissian, JNet is giving you the opportunity to give the Rebbe a beautiful birthday present by volunteering to learn with someone with JNet and get five tickets into a raffle for a Nexus7.
This past Sunday the Bukharian Jewish Community Foundation celebrated 50 years to its founding in the USA. The Gala Dinner event took place at the Center, and the guest of honor was President of the World Congress of Bukharian Jews, Levi Leviev, a prominent businessman and philanthropist whose parents Reb Avner and Chana Leviev’s names are proudly displayed on the premises of the Center’s building.
There’s handmade — and then there’s Pinny. Faster than a Magic Bullet Blender and stronger than KitchenAid, the muscular Israeli baker spends his months between November and March mixing thousands of pounds of matzo that will grace Passover tables from Melbourne to Mombasa with nothing but his hands.
Tsav: Imagine what life would be like if we couldn’t depend on the sun to rise in the morning? A prevalent cultural misnomer is that the “New” and “Different” is intrinsically better than the old and routine. This mindset affects all aspects of human life, from relationships to religious observance and even where we choose to live.
Once again Lubavitcher Yeshiva will have a special afternoon with a puppet show for kids on Sunday, a day before Pesach. The show begins at 1:00pm with lunch being offered starting at 12:00pm.
Yud Alef Nissan Special: Today marks the 111 anniversary of birth of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. For over three decades this day was marked by the United States as Education Day U.S.A. The Rebbe hoped that this would place education on a pedestal, stress its importance and the need to invest more into education – because it is not just to learn how to make a better living – it is much more than that.
