Eighty years and Eight Days – Rabbi Shmuel Fogelman Celebrates his 80th

Rabbi Shmuel Fogelman holds the outfit he wore to his bris in which the Frierdiker Rebbe was his sandik.

Eighty years ago, a little boy of eight days old wore a lace trimmed white outfit to a grand Bris and was named Shmuel Eliyahu after his grandfather who was the gabbai of Collel Chabad. The Rebbe Rayatz was visiting America at that time. Reb Chaim Elchonon, the father of the baby asked the Rebbe Rayats to be the sandik and the Rebbe accepted and came to the Bris with a few Chassidim.

Pidyon Shvuyim is one of the greatest mitzvos possible. In today’s day and age, the way to fulfill this imperative is often by helping with legal fees. What better way to enter Yom Kippur than knowing you helped save the life of a fellow yid.

By Getzy Markowitz - Opinion of the Masses

PM Benjamin Netanyahu shows the building plans of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in which 1 million Jews perished at the hands of the Nazis before the UN general assembly. Inset: Getzy Markowitz.

Before assuming his new post as Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations in 1984, Benjamin Netanyahu was guided by the Lubavitcher Rebbe who referred to the international institution as a “house of darkness.” The Rebbe encouraged Netanyahu to light a candle that would be seen from afar. Bibi was to serve, quite literally, as a ‘light unto the nations.’ Twenty years later, at the sixty-fourth UN General Assembly, Netanyahu spoke truth to power, and turned a house of darkness ablaze, as the Prime Minister of the Jewish State.

Photos: New Torah Dedicated at Chabad of Stamford

In Stamford Connecticut a New Sefer Torah was dedicated at the Chabad Lubavitch Center. The Sefer Torah was donated and commissioned by a member of the community who wishes to remain anonymous. According to Rabbi Yisrael Deren, a participant in Chabad’s fairly new Minyan was in Shul when the single Torah needed to be rolled to a new section for Maftir. After davening he approached Rabbi Deren and said he would like to donate a Torah in memory of his grandparents and only asked that his name not be publicized.
