Chabad’s 18-Wheel Museum Roaring to Life
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.
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:
