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 program was directed by Mrs Brocha Friedman.
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.

Interesting Call by Rabbi Krinsky at Kinus
In his address at the Banquet of the International Conference of Chabad Lubavitch Women Emissaries, Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky, Chairman of the Chabad Lubavitch educational and social-services divisions, called on the shluchos to make sure to care for themselves as they care for others.
“…the You shluchos are the engine that propels the successful mission of your family. You are the ballast that keeps the stability—the equilibrium—”sanity” if you will—the joy of your family throughout the unique complexities of shlichus life. You are the ones who care and nurture your family with calm and warmth and love. And you are the very mighty anchor providing the compass and stability in the extraordinary everyday lives that you and your families lead.
Mazal Tov! – It’s A Boy!
We would like to wish Mazal Tov to Yossi and Basya (nee Greenman) Hyams (Maplewood, NJ) on the birth of their son.
May the newborn be a source of Nachas to his parents, grandparents and Klal Yisroel.

Dr. Avrohom Aba Seligson, the Rebbe's doctor, OBM, whose Yortzeit falls on the 25th of Shvat, was born in Krakow in 5667, to his father, Rabbi Michoel Aharon, a descendant of the Alter Rebbe, who had the merit to host the Rebbe Rayatz in his home just about the time, Reb Avrohom Aba was born. A few years later he opened a Chassidus class in his house at the expressed wish of the Rebbe Rayatz, and being that there were no Lubavitchers in the area, the attendees were Gerer and Belzer Chassidim, who arrived to study 'Torah Or' and 'Likutei Torah'.

Located in the heart of Brooklyn, near Prospect Park, the Park Slope Food Coop is at the nexus of the borough’s many diverse Jewish populations. From the liberal Jews of Park Slope to the Hasidic Jews of Crown Heights, the coop is one of the few places in Brooklyn where Jews of all denominations converge in a shared mission: to buy natural foods at reasonable prices.
But the co-op’s unusual Jewish character is being tested by a proposal to ban products bought from Israel, such as the persimmons and red peppers that are currently in the produce aisle.
