UZHGOROD, Ukraine — For Uzhgorod, Ukraine’s Yisrael Krilati, it’s been quite a week. Last Wednesday, the 13-year-old boy chose to undergo a ritual circumcision, where he received his Jewish name. Yesterday, he celebrated his bar mitzvah by putting on tefillin and being counted in a minyan ñ the quorum of 10 Jewish men needed for public prayer services ñ for the first time in his life.
Every year for Pesach Merkos Linyonai Chinuch sends Hundreds of Bochrim to lead Sedorim in communities around the world making it possible for thousands of more Yiddin to partake in the Pesach experience.
While every year has a greater success then the one before it, this year it is being taken to a whole new level. Any Shliach that would like to have Buchrim help with the sedorim will be helped By Merkos.
Please take a moment and say a Kapitel Tehillim for a Refuah Shlaima.

For most, the Biblical account of Noah and the flood begins with lions, tigers, and peacocks strutting two by two into a wooden ark and ends with a rainbow and a promise of no more worldwide deluges. But for a growing number of people around the globe, the seven ethical instructions Jewish tradition says were given to Noah, as he started a new life after the rain, are a code for morality and a key to a meaningful life.
These seven universal moral precepts – set up courts, don’t kill, don’t steal, don’t commit forbidden relations, don’t worship idols, don’t blaspheme, and don’t eat meat that came from a living animal – seem simple enough until you start to try to live by them.
ASHKELON, Israel — Palestinian-fired rockets continued to fall on Israel’s southern cities yesterday, even as Israeli troops withdrew from the Gaza Strip after a five day operation designed to bring a halt to the incessant attacks.

The Rebbe says:
1. The Mishnah states, “When the Hebrew month of Av begins we hold back our joy”.
The Talmud supplements the Mishnah’s statement with, “Just as when the month of Av begins we restrain our joy, so too when the month of Adar begins we increase our joy”.
2. The Rebbe now analyzes this Talmudic statement:
The Talmud’s words, “Just as when the month of Av begins we restrain our joy, so too when the month of Adar begins we increase our joy”, implies that the leading principal is the Mishnah’s clearly stated law that “during the month of Av we curtail our joy”, while the law “when the month of Adar begins we increase our joy” is only secondary.
Shlomo Veingrad’s broad shoulders are wrapped in a prayer shawl, and at six-foot-five, he towers over the other Orthodox Jewish congregants at the Coral Springs Chabad. He hoists the heavy Torah scroll over his head with ease: Those same long, mighty arms spent seven years shoving aside NFL defensive linemen to clear space for Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith.
As an offensive lineman for the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys from 1986 to 1993, Alan Veingrad, 44, a Miami Sunset High grad, wore giant shoulder pads under his jersey. Now, his undergarments are ”tzitzit” — knotted fringes that serve as a reminder of his commitment to Judaism.
We would like to wish Mazal Tov to Elchanan and Nechama Dina (nee Malka) Deutsch (Crown Heights) on the birth of their daughter.
May the newborn be a source of Nachas to her parents, grandparents, relatives and Klal Yisroel.

Tuesday night, in 770 from 8:30 to 9:30pm

(This is also for those that haven’t participated in the first shiur).
What is a Rebbe? What is the secret to a Rebbe? Can any human being become a Rebbe? The following is an excerpt from the new book on The Rebbe “The Rebbe inspiring a Generation” to see more see link:
www.inspiringageneration.com
it is a question-and-answer session among a group of college students from Colombia University that took place in the summer of 1951 With the Rebbe, shortly after the Rebbe assumed the mantle of leadership.
Q: What is a Rebbe?
A: A Rebbe is one whose soul also includes the souls of his Chassidim. When a Chassid comes to the Rebbe with a problem, he tries to find in the Rebbe the part of his soul which is included in the Rebbe’s and connect it with his soul, and thus be connected with the Rebbe’s soul. It is through this connection that the Chassid receives his material and spiritual life and needs.
