The tables are set for the communal Passover Seder run by Chabad-Lubavitch in Hamburg, Germany.

Concluding the Passover Seder minutes after it began was almost a family tradition for the Sifens. Larry and Pam Sifen, together with their children and parents, would sit around the table in their Norfolk, Va., home as the aroma of holiday foods warming in the neighboring kitchen competed with the text of the Haggadah for attention.

TLC held a Purim se’udah last week. (Photo by Beth Lipoff)

“Welcome to the friendly confines of the Torah Learning Center,” the saying goes at TLC.

That was an ironic comment on the Lubavtich institution’s home in a former single-family home. But now, with a just-completed $1.5 million expansion, TLC’s confines have gotten a bit bigger.

It was the 25th of Adar 5748 (1988), some five weeks after the passing of the Rebbetzin. And it was her birthday. In a public address delivered that day, the Rebbe inaugurated a “Jewish Birthday Campaign,” suggesting guidelines for appropriate and spiritual birthday celebrations. In honor of the 20-year anniversary of this historic event, Chabad.org has rolled out a brand new birthday section.
