BROOKLYN, NY [CHI] — The Shluchim Placement Bureau, a division of The Shluchim Office, has launched MyShlichus.com, a fresh and high-tech way for Shluchim to find the ideal husband-wife team, and for the yungerliet (our next generation of shluchim) to find their ideal shlichus. Over the years, the placement department has been making ‘shlichus matches’ and leveling the playing field.

The Rebbe says:
1. In this week’s Torah portion Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses our teacher) sets aside three “Cities of Refuge” for people who have accidentally killed someone and are afraid of the families’ vengeance, or for people who have purposely killed someone and are awaiting trial,.
2. The Rebbe begins discussing a certain aspect of the “Cities of Refuge”:
Our Sages tell us that the road to the “Cities of Refuge” was not only paved and broadened so that people could run there quickly; there were even signs pointing the way at the intersections saying “Refuge, Refuge”.

It is with great sadness and deep pain we inform you of the very untimely passing of Yocheved Chaya Rochel Paley OBM at the age of 26. Rochie was the wife of R. Yaakov Paley and the mother of 1-year-old Yosef Yitzchok.
On Isru Chag Shavuos Rochie didn’t wake up, and in the morning after she suffered a heart attack and was revived but remained in a coma and on life support. Family and friends had set up a website “Rochie's Friendship Network” where people took on Hachlatos and volunteered to say Tehillim in her merit.
The Levaya take place at 1:00pm and will be leaving from the Shomrei Hadaas Chapels and will be passing by 770 at around 1:30pm.
