Kol Menachem Devarim Now Available in Hebrew!

Thanks to a collaboration between Chabad philanthropists Levi Leviev and Meyer Gutnick, the second Chumash with “Toras Menachem” in Hebrew rolled off the press this week, in time for Devorim.

The Hebrew “Leviev Edition” was adapted from the much loved “Gutnick Chumash,” bringing the Rebbe's Torah “outwards” to many communities beyond Chabad.

The current volume, Sefer Devorim, contains literally hundreds of Sichos, both in Nigleh and Chassidus, in a flowing, contemporary Hebrew, something that has long been awaited by Shluchim around the world.

The Bnos Chomesh Girls Acadamy!

Once upon a time there was a little girl in a school that did not fit her. This made her quite sad and she longed for a school that fit. One day she chanced upon a beautiful village with trees, and lakes and rolling hills. Strolling through the village the little girl heard faint sounds in the distance. She followed the sounds. The little girl was curious and so she continued along until the sounds became louder and clearer. They were sounds of laughter! The little girl was drawn magnetically to the laughter and found herself at the doorway of a school. “This cannot be,” she thought. “School is not for laughing.” The little girl gently pushed open the door and once inside couldn’t believe her eyes! She found herself surrounded by smiling faces, happy conversations, stimulating learning, and caring teachers. It felt like a fairy tale. Surely she must be dreaming, for no school is like this!

Moshe Loebenstein and Agatha
She spoke neither English nor Hebrew, I spoke neither Hungarian nor Portuguese—and yet we laughed and cried together. Agatha survived Auschwitz as a young teen and then in the tumultuous years that followed wandered through Europe bereft of a family or youth. She was not of a religious family or community and wed a Hungarian Catholic. She respected his bunny rabbits and swimming sessions and he respected her religion, knowing that his children would be full fledged members of the Jewish people. They even entertained thoughts of moving to Israel but were scared of the impending War of Independence. They were looking for somewhere safe and quiet, and there is nowhere quieter than Sta Cruz Cambrario, Bahia.
