The following letter has been sent to all Shluchim of the Rebbe worldwide:

Dear Shluchim שיחיו!

In light of recent events Shluchim the world over have been focusing more attention on matters of security.

In order to guide and assist Shluchim and Mosdos in this regard, we have formed the Chabad-Lubavitch Security Commission (CLSC). The Commission, with the assistance of professionals who are familiar with security/anti-terror measures, will distribute relevant information to Shluchim, as well as make recommendations which can be adapted and implemented locally by Shluchim.

An alert pharmacy employee noticed her taking a number of items and stuffing them into her backpack. She then walked over to the front counter, picked up a prescription and made for the door. As she fled the store the theft deterrent alarm went off.

Rabbi Yossi Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL
Once, on Rosh Hashanah, the Alter Rebbe Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, asked his son the Miteler Rebbe to share some of the thoughts upon which he had concentrated during his Davening-prayers earlier that day.

The Mitlerer Rebbe proceeded to enumerate the various liturgical passages and Kabalistic intentions upon which he had reflected. The Miteler Rebbe then inquired of the Alter Rebbe regarding his own meditations.

Instead of the profound and lofty response for which the Miteler Rebbe was prepared, the Alter Rebbe indicated that his thoughts were focused upon his “chair and Shtender-lectern,” (a reference to the presence of the Divine within the physical).
…………………………………………………………
The Rebbe of Pscizcha once turned to one of his young disciples, who was later to become the Rebbe of Kotzk, and presented the following query: “Young man, where can one find G d?” “G-d is everywhere,” replied the young scholar. “Does not His glory fill the universe?”

“Young man,” persisted the Pscizcher, “I asked you where one could find G d?” The Kotzker was quiet. “Well, if I don't know then please tell me,” he requested.

The Pscizcher then said, “Listen, young man, “G d can be found wherever he is allowed in.”

NEW YORK, NY — Mayor Bloomberg was screaming highway robbery last night after Albany announced the city would get $1.9 billion in the first allocation of federal stimulus funds - at least $200 million less than he was counting on.

“The mayor has repeatedly said he was concerned that federal stimulus money meant for the city would get lost in Albany, and we are already seeing a clear example,” declared Stu Loeser, the mayor's spokesman.
