Yagdil Torah arranged a seminar for the community last week with the focus of how we and Yidden deal with tragedy, following the recent accidents which claims young lives from our midst.
Following the formal Kinus Bochurim and Mashpim sat and Farbrenged together into the night.
“The Rebbe stands with pride as his Shluchim he leads…”
The sounds of over 170 Tzeirei Hashluchim echoed in the large gym in North Brunswick NJ.
These are not just Lubavitch children, but children of Shluchim living in over 50 cities who learn in small “Chadorim”.
ALBANY, NY [CHI] — During Mesivta Oholei Torah’s Saratoga Shabbaton, Shluchim Rabbi Yisroel & Abba Rubin welcomed the Hanhala and Bachurim in the New York State Legislative Chamber. Assemblyman Gordon issued them a special proclamation how the Legislature changed NYS law to the Gemara Bava Basra “Chazaka Sheyesh Imah Taana.” Rabbi Rubin later Farbrenged about the Horaha in Avodas Hashem.
Over 2000 Bochurim packed into the Rosa Hall in Beis Rivka Campus Chomesh for the 6th annual Kinus Hatmimim Haolami and Farbrengen in honor of Yud Shvat marking 60 years to the Rebbes Nesius.
CROWN HEIGHTS [CHI] — The new Tznius campaign organizers have issued a letter to Crown Heights residents explaining their campaign. In the letter the group begins with the significance of Tznius behavior and dress. Then touches on their campaign, where its states; “…individuals have committed themselves to patronize only those stores that are committed to operate in congruence with.. ..standards of Chassidishe Shchuneh.” It also lists a few stores who have committed themselves to this campaign. The letter is signed by both Rabbi Osdoba and Rabbi Schwei.
This week marks the 60th anniversary of the ascension of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, to the global leadership of Chabad. In that time, the organization has grown from a small hassidic group into a global powerhouse of Jewish outreach. But 15 years after our great rebbe’s passing, and with Chabad firing on all cylinders, it faces a major decision as to its future. It will either continue to focus on horizontal expansion – opening more Chabad Houses and sending out more rabbi-emissaries – or it will begin focusing on vertical expansion.
CARLSBAD, CA — Chabad of La Costa, in Carlsbad, California, inaugurated a Torah at Shabbat services last week.

From racial profiling to anti-missile shields: the measures Brown should be introducing
In the wake of the international panic caused by the Detroit underpants bomber on Christmas Day, Gordon Brown has come out with a range of new security measures. A ‘no-fly’ list is to be established, all flights between Britain and Yemen are cancelled forthwith, and terrorist movements will be “seamlessly tracked and disrupted”. Finally, the introduction of full body scanners will begin at British airports next week.
In honor of Yud Shvat Bochurim got a special tour of the Frierdiker Rebbes Apartment and Yechidus Room, as well as of the Rebbes Library in 770. A big thank you goes to the Vaad Talmidei Hatmimim Haolami for organizing this.
