This is the second appointment of a Chassidic Rabbi to one of the country’s 25 volunteer State Defense Forces. “I’ve wanted Jewish representation in the Georgia State Defense Force and National Guard for a long time,” said Commanding General Michael McGuinn, “and I was absolutely thrilled when a friend of mine told me that a Chassidic Rabbi had joined the Maryland State Defense Force. He put me in touch with The Aleph Institute who is appointed by the U.S. Department of Defense as an Ecclesiastical Endorsing Agency and serves the Jewish military population worldwide. They sent out a request and Rabbi Lipskier answered the call.” The Aleph Institute endorsed the Rabbi into chaplaincy service and provided the financial assistance to procure his military uniforms and equipment.

More than 200 Chabad-Lubavitch women who co-direct Israel-based Chabad Houses spent last weekend examining ways to bring a measure of rest to their hectic lives. According to organizers, the choice of the theme was obvious considering that the gathering fell out smack dab in the middle of Israel's shmittah year, the biblically-mandated once-every-seven-years period of rest for farmland.

For the past 10 years Nechamas closet has been helping kallahs and women receive new clothing and sheitels.
Many of Nechamas closet customers are orphans, and then there are those who can’t make ends meet. We all know how we feel when we don’t have something decent to wear.

Rabbi Demonstrates Ancient Skill of Torah Making
DALLAS, TX — A turkey feather. The tendons and tail hairs of cows. These are the basic tools of Faitel Lewin’s trade.
Rabbi Lewin is a sofer, a modern-day practitioner of an ancient and essential Jewish craft: scribing Torahs. With his turkey quill pen, he writes the full text of the Bible’s first five books, Genesis through Deuteronomy, in Hebrew on sheets of parchment prepared from animal skins. Then he wraps and stitches them into a pliable scroll with his bovine threads.
