PACIFIC PALISADES, CA — Rabbi Zushe Cunin, head of Chabad of Pacific Palisades for 16 years, is accustomed to “overcoming and embracing all challenges,” he said. But the uproar surrounding his plans to relocate Chabad’s Palisades Jewish Early Childhood Center to a vacant building off Los Liones Drive — in a canyon below an affluent Pacific Palisades neighborhood and off a service road leading to the Getty Villa — has surprised him.

Jewish Bath Rises on 15th St

Sarah Portlock – The Brooklyn Paper

BROOKLYN, NY — The construction of a Jewish ritual bathhouse will “define Park Slope as a true Jewish community and bring more Jewish families to the area,” the organizations behind the project said this week.

But some neighbors of the building, on 15th Street between Sixth and Seventh avenues, said they were unhappy with its planned institutional use and by the facade pictured in an architecht’s rendering shown this week.

The Rebbe says:

1. In this week’s Torah portion the Sotah (a woman suspected of adultery) is discussed. A Sotah is a woman who was alone with another man other than her husband after her husband zealously warned her saying, “Do not be alone with so-and-so”.

2. Our Sages tell us that, “A person does not commit a transgression unless a spirit of foolishness enters him”. They bring a proof to this adage from a verse in this week’s Torah portion regarding the Sotah which reads, “Any man whose wife shall go astray (Sisteh)”. Our Sages explain that the word “Sisteh”, literally meaning “shall go astray”, can also be read “Sishteh”, meaning “acted foolishly”, therefore they learn that, “A person does not commit a transgression unless a spirit of foolishness enters him”.
