Can I Inspire Teens While Giving Them a Blast?

Attention Shluchim:

Plans for the national CTeeN Shabbaton are well underway! The tremendous
success of last year’s Shabbaton is giving rise to an even better and more
exciting event this year.

The Shabbaton in NYC is an amazing opportunity for teens to:

– Experience a part of Yiddishkeit they will want to hold on to
– Come back with a new appreciation for what you do
– Tell their friends what a cool program you’re part of!
– Have crazy fun and monumentally inspirational moments they will
remember
– Meet other teens from Chabad Houses around the world

Today is a fast day mourning the assassination of the Jewish royal Gedaliah ben Achikam, governor of the Land of Israel for a short period following the destruction of the First Temple.

Gedaliah's killing spelled the end of the small remnant of a Jewish community that remained in the Holy Land after the destruction, which fled to Egypt. (According to many opinions, the assassination of Gedaliah actually occurred on Rosh Hashanah, but the commemoration of the event is postponed to the day after the festival; when the day after Rosh Hashanah is a Shabbat the fast is postponed to Tishrei 4.)

Cutler Bay, FL -Rabbi Yossi Wolff and members of the Chabad of Cutler Bay and Homestead found themselves scrambling an hour before the start of sundown services to find a new place to worship Friday. “This was on the floor; it's a cover to the ark,” Rabbi Wolff tells CBS 4's Gwen Belton. “That thrown on the floor is a desecration right before the high holidays.”
