Honestly, I would have felt disappointed if there had been no reaction to my statement, “There are no secular Jews,” in the article “Do U.S. Jews belong without believing?” in the Dec. 19 Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle.
I therefore welcome Michael Tarnoff’s remarks in his letter to the editor in the Jan. 9 issue.

While in search of a new community in which to relocate, Reb Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev had arrived with his followers at a particular village. Upon looking around, it seemed like the town might’ve just been right for the Rabbi and his growing Chassidic sect to set up shop, at least from their viewpoint. As for the townsfolk, they appeared to have a slightly different perspective.
In a not-so-subtle display of their feelings, the locals gathered to greet their prospective new neighbors with a generous pelting of raw eggs. Upon witnessing this, the tzaddik turned to his entourage and said: “Ah! This is where we shall stay.”
In response to their dumbfound reaction, he added, “At least the people here cannot be accused of being apathetic. They possess true enthusiasm for their cause. . . I find this rather refreshing.”

Last week the first Global Chinese Auction of Merkos L'inyonei Chinuch and Tzivos Hashem's new Chayolei Tzivos Hashem program was held, and what an excitement it was!
Unlike other Chinese auctions, the children work hard during the month doing special Mitzvos and missions, and then use their earned mileage points to enter the auction. Complete with a personalized order form showing each child which prizes they can go for based on their earned miles, and a wide choice of amazing prizes to go for (ranging from a pocket Siddur, to a set of Seforim to an ipod…), the auction is a whole experience unto itself!

Siyum Sefer Torah at ‘The Minyan’ in Beis Menachem
MANCHESTER, England [CHI] — Last week Sunday, the 15th Teves, 11 January, ‘The Minyan; in Beis Menachem held a Siyum Sefer Torah. The writing of the Beis Menachem Communal Sefer Torah was started just over twelve months ago by the Sofer, Reb Uziyohu Brown, a local member of Anash. Following the attack on the Chabad House in Mumbai, the Committee decided that the Torah which was being dedicated to the Rebbe, would now also be dedicated in memory of his two Shluchim, Rabbi Gavriel and Rivka Holtzberg HYD and would be held as close to the Shloshim as possible.

1. In this week’s Torah portion Hashem (G-d) tells the Jewish people that they are going to be redeemed from their unbearable exile in Egypt. Hashem first uses four descriptions of how He will redeem them- “I will transport you out”, “I will rescue you”, “I will redeem you”, and “I will take you out”. Hashem then uses a fifth description, “I will bring you to the land about which I have raised My hand to give it to Avraham (Abraham), Yitzchak (Isaac), and Yakov (Jacob)”.
2. The Rebbe now discusses the four descriptions of redemption, and the additional fifth:
It is well known that the four descriptions of redemption correspond to the four redemptions that the Jewish people had throughout history, beginning with our redemption from Egypt. Bearing this in mind we can understand that the fifth description corresponds to the final and complete redemption when Moshiach (the Messiah) will come and take us out of this exile with the third and final Beis Hamikdash (Holy Temple).
A Sicha from the Rebbe on Parshas Va’eira!
