The Vaad Talmidei Hatmimim is proud to announce the Yom Iyun and Kinus for Talmidim Hashluchim of year 5772. The Kinus, scheduled to take place in Brooklyn on Monday, 26 Tishrei – October 24th, includes a full schedule of workshops and speakers to inspire & provide practical advice for the Shluchim.
Shluchim from Latin and Central America, as well as the Caribbean Islands gathered last week in Guatemala for a regional Kinus, the first such event in the region. The get-together was made possible thanks to the increase of Shluchim to the area, and is a testament to the strengthening of the blossoming communities made possible by Chabad.

As a husband for over ten years now, I think I’ve learnt a thing or two about shaitels. My wife has been through three, well four if you count the one she bought when we were engaged… the one she hasn’t worn since, that’s scrunched in a bag at the bottom of a drawer somewhere. (I’ve learned not to bring that up, no need to start a fight.)
The new Chabad facility, at the foot of the Los Liones National Park and a short walk to the Pacific Ocean, has undergone a transformational face-lift to inaugurate the building in time for the Jewish New Year. Formerly a Getty Trust property, the new center and home for the Palisades Jewish Early Childhood Center (P.J.E.C.C.) is unveiling an Ed Massey designed colorburst on the Sunset Boulevard facade that will greet drivers, joggers, walkers, and Chabad visitors of all ages as they drive to and enter the premises.
Ehud Olmert, the previous prime minister of Israel, tried to stick his head into the ongoing UN fiasco by penning an op-ed for the NY Times titled, “Peace Now, or Never.” After reading it your left wondering how Israel ever survived three years under him.
For the first time ever, Israeli officials have upgraded beach facilities at the Dead Sea to cater to the needs of the observant Jewish public. Beginning Monday, men and women who, in keeping with Jewish customs regarding modesty, wish to swim separately can do so in style at “the lowest place on earth.”
