BROOKLYN, NY — A truck from City Harvest pulled up on a recent weekday to a food pantry in a heavily Orthodox Jewish section of Midwood, Brooklyn. The driver stepped out and unloaded cabbages, bananas and Tropicana juice containers bearing labels with the letter “K” in a circle, indicating that they were kosher.

Levi Wolowik OBM
They are unusually inspiring people. I’m sitting with Rabbi Zalman and Mrs. Chanie Wolowik just 22 days after their nine-year-old son, Levi Yitzchok, a’h, suddenly and inexplicably passed away. This coming Monday night, the Five Towns and Far Rockaway communities, and indeed Jewish communities far and wide around the world, will be marking the sheloshim, the end of the 30-day period since Levi’s passing.

“The house feels empty without Levi,” says Chanie. “He was my sidekick and went almost everywhere and did everything with Zalman,” she said. Their older son, Mendel, is away attending Yeshiva in Detroit and the next boy is seven years old, she explains, so just when they had started to have another big boy around the house they are now once again, she feels, dealing almost exclusively with little kids.

As Chabad sh’lichim in the Five Towns, the Wolowiks are natural born leaders. Still, however, they are first and foremost parents, who are raising a beautiful family and who raised a remarkable young man who left us for reasons that are far beyond our comprehension but certainly way too soon.

Cheder at the Ohel Students, Soldiers in Tzivos Hashem

Rabbi Shimmy Weinbaum explaining how the new program works.

QUEENS, NY [CHI] — Last week the Cheder at the Ohel joined the many Lubavitcher schools worldwide that are part of the all-new Chayolei Tzivos Hashem. The elite brigade, exclusively for Lubavitcher children, marks a revolutionary new phase in the Rebbe’s vision for soldiers in Hashem’s army. The students were very thrilled to be involved in this great program and are eagerly waiting to climb the ranks by fulfilling their missions!

From the Safer Haminhagim: [Every day from Rosh Chodesh Nissan until the twelfth of the month, usually after Shacharis,] one reads the passage [from Bamidbar 7-8:4] that describes the offering brought on that day by a particular Nasi, or tribal prince, for the dedication of the altar of the Mishkan. [In common parlance, each day's passage itself is often referred to as “the Nasi.”] This daily reading is followed by the prayer which opens with the words yehi ratzon (and which appears in Siddur Torah Or [as well as in Siddur Tehillat HaShem, p. 371]). This prayer is recited even by a Kohen or a Levi [despite its seeming relevance only to tribes other than the Tribe of Levi]. [284]
