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]

Community Center. The words “Actung!

The words and symbols were painted in purple on the center's suite within a nondescript office building on Riverside's Arlington Avenue.
The center and the Anti-Defamation League are offering a $1,000 reward for information.
Rabbi Shmuel M. Fuss said the center has received threatening phone calls in the past but nothing as shocking as the markings Thursday night.
The windows were covered with swastikas, an “SS,” and words such as “Actung! Juden,” which translates to “Warning! Jews.”
“Your average kid doesn't know this kind of stuff,” he said.

Islamic outpost in update New York stirs concerns.
On a freezing winter night as Napoleon lay under his warm covers, he was overcome by a sudden bout of thirst. Considering that he would have to leave his cozy conditions and go outside to fetch some water, in order to satisfy his craving, he contemplated ignoring his nagging discomfort, but was quickly overcome by a powerful sense of shame.
“Napoleon! You have become all but lazy,” he said to himself. “There is evidently no difference between you and the common yokel.” With that, he tore himself out of bed and proceeded out the door to fetch himself some water.
By the time he walked to the well across the field, he thought to himself: “Bonaparte, you really ought to be embarrassed of yourself. You are so weak you’d do anything to avoid a little discomfort. Have you no willpower to prevail over a tad of thirst? There is obviously no difference between you and the ordinary Joe.” He immediately retuned to bed without touching a drop of water.
Upon relating this story, the Chasidic master of Lublin, (The Chozeh) concluded: “This is what I call strength of character.”
