Boruch Dayan Hoemes – Rabbi Levi Deitsch OBM

With great sadness and deep pain we inform you of the tragic and very untimely passing of Rabbi Levi Deitsch OBM, a Shliach to Tysons Corner, Virginia. He was 34 years old.

Levi moved out on Shlichus with his family in 2002 where he established a flourishing Chabad center, along with a Hebrew School and a Tzivos Hashem.

by Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Jax, Fl.
Leaving his office building at lunchtime; a young businessman would pass the stand of a little old Jewish lady who sold pretzels on a street corner for 25 cents each. He would always leave her a quarter but never take a pretzel. The two of them never spoke.

One day, after 3 years of this routine, the young man passed the old lady's stand and left his usual quarter; the pretzel lady spoke to him for the first time.

“Sir, you are a good customer and I appreciate your business, but I have to tell you that the price of pretzels has gone up to 50 cents!!!”

Chabad’s 18-Wheel Museum Roaring to Life

By R.C. Berman for Lubavitch.com
Children’s mobile museum drives like a truck, and expands into a 1,000 square ft. space for hands-on Jewish experience.

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.

2. The Rebbe points out that the Torah must be teaching us something by telling us this twice:

In the Torah everything is exact. In fact, our Sages learn out many Halachas (laws) from one extra letter in the Torah. Therefore, if the Torah repeats this story twice, it must be teaching us something that we can implement into our daily life. Let us find out what the Torah is teaching us:
