The Rebbe says:
1. In this week’s Torah portion the Jewish people stand at Har Sinai (Mount Sinai) amidst thunder and lightning and receive the Ten Commandments from Hashem (G-d).
The Ten Commandments begin by saying, “Va’ye’da’ber Elokim Es Kol Hadvarim Ha’e’lah Lay’more - G-d spoke all these words, to say (“Lay’more”)”.
2. The Rebbe now questions this:
The word “Lay’more – To say” is used everywhere else in the Torah when Hashem tells Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses our teacher) something in private and then instructs Moshe to repeat it over to the public. Here however, when the whole Jewish nation was standing at Har Sinai and hearing the Ten Commandments just like Moshe Rabbeinu, why does the Torah say, “G-d spoke all these words, to say (“Lay’more”)”?

Stephanie Rancier - The Batt
COLLEGE STATION, TX — The freedom that college offers is exhilarating. Despite the occasional laundry mishaps, such as when that pesky red sock made a load of whites look like Barbie's spring wardrobe. College is not for the faint of heart: sometimes that hint of homesickness is far from unfamiliar. When a little cough turns into a debilitating flu, it is cause for even the most independent students to cry for mommy.

HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA, Canada — Nova Scotia’s most populated city with a Jewish community 1800 strong is far, far away from major centers of Jewish life. It’s an eighteen-hour drive from Halifax to Toronto. Twelve from Montreal. There’s no kosher butcher shop, not enough young children for a Jewish day school, and it’ll take an eleven-hour drive to Boston, for a slice of kosher pizza.

Shmuel Ben Eliezer - Jewish Press
Rabbi Shalom B. Stambler
The one place that had no Chabad presence for 60 years, however, was the once flourishing home to millions of Jews – Poland. (Interestingly, it was from Warsaw that the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe escaped the Shoah and came to America.)
It was thought that there were no more Jews in Poland after the Shoah and the persecution of the Communists. When the Rebbe was asked to send a shliach to Poland in 1989, he declined, supposedly saying that a Jewish community should not be reestablished where so much suffering occurred.
Chabad In Poland
Shmuel Ben Eliezer – Jewish Press
Rabbi Shalom B. Stambler
WARSAW, Poland — It is often said that in places you would least expect, there is certain to be a Beit Chabad. Even in the remotest regions on earth, people are likely to find the two symbols of civilization, Coke and Chabad.
