The joy was overwhelming as a Persian couple, married for over 18 years, gave birth to their first baby boy. On the eighth day, in a highly festive spirit, the Bris was performed in Chabad of Brookville by the Mohel, Rabbi Levi Heber. The father donned Tefillin and served as Sandek. Rabbi Mendy Heber, the Shliach of Brookville, was honored to bless the child and introduce his Hebrew name.

Back In the day when modern travel was still a dream, people would depend on a horse drawn carriage as their means of transportation. Such travel consisted of a horse, a coachman and, of course, a passenger – often an important dignitary or nobleman. Yet each of these components had their own divergent perception of the journey.
To the horse it was about oats. The horse knew that upon arrival it would receive a hearty bowl of feed. The impending reward was enough to motivate it to keep running from point A to point B all day long – day in and day out.
In the eyes of the coachman – a simple person who was often a bit uncouth – it was not much different. He could hardly wait to reach the impending destination and receive his wages so he could be off to the local tavern for a good drink of aqua vitae and a healthy bite to go along.
As for the dignitary inside the coach, the purpose was understood in an entirely different light. To him the true objective for the voyage was the important business that needed to be attended.

Established in 1978 by a joint Congressional resolution, Education Day U.S.A. focuses on the very foundation of meaningful education: instructing our youth in the ways of morality and ethics, and teaching them an appreciation for divine inviolable values.
The Presidents, in conjunction with the Washington, D.C. based American Friends of Lubavitch, designate annually Education and Sharing Day U.S.A. on the anniversary of the birth of the Rebbe who dedicated his life to the cause of education.
One of the top 4 hottest NYC trends on Twitter today was the Mitzvah Tank Parade in Manhattan.
