Marine Le Pen, the far-right leader of France’s National Front Party, called today for a ban on the public wearing of veils by Muslims and yarmulkes by Jews, thereby inflaming the existing religious tensions caused by the earlier publication of offensive cartoons of Prophet Mohammed in the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

What wouldn’t we give to re‐experience – or to experience for the first time – the beautiful moments of Tishrei together with the Rebbe? The miracle of modern technology allows us to rise above the gravitational pull of the here-and‐now, and experience a Farbrengen with the Rebbe, as the Rebbe calls upon us to celebrate with joy and Achdus, and in a manner of L’chatchila Ariber! Blended with beautiful Nigunnim and special moments, this is a Farbrengen experience you do not want to miss.

Chesed opportunities abound, and there are many well meaning people who go out of their way to assist their fellow Yidden.
