“Time Capsule” Placed in Foundation of New Chabad Campus
AGOURA HILLS, CA [CHI] — In a unique ceremony on Tuesday morning, March 23rd, friends and supporters of Chabad of the Conejo gathered at the construction site of the organization’s future community campus on Canwood Street to celebrate the completion of the historic project’s foundation. While groundbreaking ceremonies and dedication celebrations are more commonplace, a “Foundation Celebration” is a bit of an anomaly. But then again, Chabad of the Conejo – an educational, outreach and social service organization serving the greater Conejo Valley Jewish Community – has a long history of doing things in an unconventional and innovative manner.

Only moments after I had finished digesting my delicious post-Pesach pizza, my Blackberry buzzed, indicating that I had received an email. I wiped my palms, greasy from the cheesy delight I had just enjoyed, and read the email. My jaw dropped as I read the article my friend had forwarded to me. A “Yid from England” had written to a site frequented by members of the Chabad community, expressing wonder about why observant Jews find it so necessary to make a mad dash for the pizza stores and bakeries the very moment that they are once again permitted to eat Chametz at the conclusion Pesach.

Op-Ed: Lag Baomer – Achdus?!
Lag B’omer we will be organizing a parade that will be a great Kidush Hashem and surely bring the Rebbe nachas. The parade’s central theme will be a tremendous display of achdus.
Unfortunately the display of achdus isn’t carried through internally. An exuberant amount of money and energy will be spent and will result in a kidush hashem of epic proportions. However if a very important point isn’t internalized, we Lubavitcher Chasidim – the gate keepers of Toras haBa’al ShemTov, purveyors of achdus Yisroel – will leave the parade unchanged and as internally fragmented as the day before lag be’omer.
