HaGaon HaRav Menachem Mendel Mendelson ZT”L, the Rav of Komomiyut, Israel for the past 33 years, was niftar today, 27 Cheshvan, 5772. The Rav was a dear and close friend of Lubavitch, particularly close with Rabbi Moshe Havlin of Kiryat Gat, and participated in many Lubavitcher events.

In the above video clip, Rabbi Mendelson tells the Rebbe that the Chabad Yeshiva in Kiryat Gat is in need of financial help. The Rebbe tells him to find 2 more Rabbis (anyone with smicha) and pasken that they should get money. Rabbi Mendelson did what the Rebbe suggested, and since then the Kiryat Gat Yeshiva has been doing well financially!

Harlem Gives Birth to First Torah Scroll in 75 Years

by Karen Schwartz – Chabad.org

Rabbi Simon Jacobson talks about the power of a Torah scroll during a celebration of the first scroll to be commissioned in the New York City neighborhood of Harlem in 75 years.

Not too long ago, it might have been one of the least likely locations from where a religious scribe would start writing a Torah scroll, but on Sunday, families and friends affiliated with a Jewish center in the New York City neighborhood of Harlem gathered to celebrate just such an occasion.

Thanksgiving: Boruch Hashem!

by Levi Cunin – Malibu Patch

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them —President John F. Kennedy

A few weeks ago, when I submitted my column to Malibu Patch editor Jonathan Friedman, I was asked if the B”H at the top of the page was part of the column. After I explained what it means, we decided to leave it to another time, when I could address its meaning and importance.

Taking time out of a busy work day to Daven Mincha may not always be possible for some, but the merchants and business-people on Albany Avenue are doing just that. A daily weekday Minyan takes place in the offices of Leasing Direct at 4:15.

It baffles me why so many authors and commenters on this website seem to feel as though people who do not act or think as they do are doing something wrong, and that they do so for all the same negative, prejudiced stereotype reasons (bad home, life, schooling etc). I am constantly reminded of the old saying that “everyone who does more than you is a fanatic and everyone who does less is an apostate.”
