The Rebbe says:

1. The first verses of this week’s Torah portion simply reads, “See! I am giving to you today a blessing and a curse… The blessing is being given on the basis that you will listen to the commandments of G-d, your G-d…And the curse will come if you do not listen to the commandments of G-d, your G-d…”.

The Targum Onkelos translates the Hebrew word “Kllalah” in these first few verses and in the future verses as “curse”. The Targum Yonasan however translates the Hebrew word “Kllalah” in these first few verse as “its substitute”, so that the verse reads, “See! I am giving to you today a blessing and its substitute”; whereas in the future verses in this Torah portion the Targum Yonasan changes his interpretation and interprets the Hebrew word “Kllalah” as “curse” just like the Targum Onkelos always does.

PHILADELPHIA, PA — In a reflection of the rising rate of eating disorders in the Jewish community, the country’s oldest residential facility for women with disorders such as anorexia and bulimia now offers a track specifically for Orthodox Jewish women.

Since it opened its doors some 25 years ago, the Renfrew Center in Philadelphia has maintained an inclusive atmosphere that welcomes patients of all faiths, but as the years passed, and as the number of Orthodox patients in Renfrew increased, the center’s leaders decided it was time to create a program to accommodate the religious population. This past April, Renfrew officially launched a specific track for Orthodox women.

To learn more about the Rebbe Visit www.portraitofaleader.org Zalman Shazar, former President of Israel, paid a number of visits to the Rebbe in the early 1970’s. On each occasion, Shazar presented the Rebbe with a gift or a precious manuscript of Chassidic teachings, transcribed by previous Rebbeim of Chabad. The following picture impressively captures the Rebbe receiving such a gift from the hands of the President.
