Like Harley Davidson, Wii, and Clinique who often ply their wares in customized 18-wheelers that transform into mini-circus-like event centers, Chabad is planning one of its own to drive excitement, knowledge, and pride into the lives of Jewish children.
The Rebbe says:
1. This week’s Torah portion begins by saying, “And Yakov (Jacob) left Be’er Sheva and went to Charan”.
To be sure, this verse is actually repeating something we already knew from the end of last week’s Torah portion.

The duties that a soldier performs are not for his own interests, but rather are intended to benefit the entire army as well as the people it is charged to protect.
For this reason, the soldier must comply with every order, without thought as to whether it is essential or not, for only the commander-in-chief understands the importance of all the details of the military strategy, and only he determines what is important and what is trivial.
