Birkas HaChamah Ceremony and Event in Monroe

MONROE, NY [CHI] — Many local Orange County residents, from all walks of life, gathered on Wednesday morning, April 8th, at Chabad’s Monroe Location on Route 17m, to celebrate the rare Jewish practice of Birkat Hachamah, the blessing of the sun, performed only once every 28 years. It is recited on a specific Wednesday morning in the spring, when it is calculated that the sun returns to the same position in the sky it occupied at the time of Creation, and at the same time of the week, 5769 years ago.

Westminster Colorado Chabad House and inset Shluchim Rabbi Benjy and Leah Brackman posing in the Shul.

WESTMINSTER, CO — Historically, and since time immemorial, Judaism has been about community; it has been its fabric, said Rabbi Benjy Brackman, of Westminster, co-founder of the Chabad House Synagogue and Cultural Center, 4505 W. 112th Ave., Westminster.

And, according to Rabbi Brackman, that's what the Chabad House is all about - engaging northwestern community involvement.

Seudas Moshiach in 770!

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — The last day of Passover (“Acharon Shel Pesach”) is particularly associated with Moshiach and the future redemption. The Baal Shem Tov instituted the custom of partaking of a “Seudas Moshiach” (Moshiachs Meal) on the afternoon of the last day of Passover; in addition to the Matzah eaten at “ Seudas Moshiach”, the Rebbes of Chabad added the custom of drinking four cups of wine, as in the Seder held on Passover’s first days.

Father and son rabbis Laibl and Menachem Wolf

Spiritgrow offers a smorgasbord of spirituality from traditional Judaism to relationship management, writes Barney Zwartz (WA today, an Australian Paper).

About 60 people relax cheerfully on chairs and beanbags in a big room. Men on the right, women on the left, divided by a slight curtain; but they laugh and call out to each other. Then a young man in fashionable black takes charge, as they sing, clap, chant, listen attentively and pause to meditate.
