NEW YORK, NY — Ask the hundreds of lay leaders who participated in last weekend’s 21st annual International Conference of Chabad-Lubavitch Women Emissaries why they trekked all the way to Brooklyn, N.Y., from points around the world, and many will tell of perceptions changed, barriers shattered and friendships forged as they got to know the female “soldiers” who run Chabad Houses, teach classes and preside over families from Nepal to New Brunswick.

Children Build Beis Hamikdosh Models for Kinus

CROWN HEIGHTS [CHI] — In honor the Kinus Hashluchos and the Hakhel this year, over 60 Crown Heights children joined in building models of the Beis Hamikdosh. The models would later be placed on tables through the Kinus Hashluchos convention. Each model came with some 400 pieces and took about 4 hours to construct.

The Rebbe says:

1. The Torah starts off this week’s Torah portion with saying, “And these are the laws (Mishpatim) that you shall place before them (the Jewish people)”.

2. The Rebbe now quotes three explanations of our Sages regarding why the Torah specifies that the laws should be placed, “before them”:

First explanation: When the Torah says that these laws should be placed, “before them”, it is teaching us that Jewish people should not bring their disputes to the gentile courts, even if the gentile courts would rule exactly like the Jewish courts in this specific case.
