A new Online Mikvah Calendar created especially for the internet-savvy Jewish woman-of-today is making it easier to observe the complex Jewish laws of family purity.
The website, which was rolled out this week [and is advertised here on CrownHeights.info], is the brainchild of Rebbetzin Rivkah Bloom, who grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina. She was the only Jewish child in her grade, forced at age 14 to leave home for a Jewish school in Pennsylvania, and from there to seminary in Israel. What followed led to software that has the potential to change the lives of millions of women: her years at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where she earned Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering.

The L’Chaim will IYH be Sunday night at Lubavitcher Yeshiva, 570 Crown St [hall entrance on Albany Ave].
Yesterday was the twenty seventh of Adar. There are many Bochurim in Lubavitch who weren't even born. At least I remember when it happened. The question of course is, what does this day mean to us? What does it do to us? And what do we do for it? The answers to these questions are not simple ones. In fact, I don't know if anyone even has the answers. But that doesn't mean we don't have to ask the questions. Because if you don't even have the question, how can you ever expect to work out the answer? Because that's what it's really all about.
Every person has to look inside their heart and say, "Hey, what's up? What have I accomplished? What does 17 years without mean to me? Have I gotten over it, or am I still in mourning? Have the chai, the living, Yiten El Libo, taken it to heart? Or was this generation's Parah Adumah completely wasted? Those are the types of questions we all have to ask ourselves.
