Fifth Annual Kinus Talmidim-Hashluchim in Detroit

Last Year Annual Kinus Talmidim-Hashluchim in Florida

DETROIT, MI [CHI] — As in previous years, the Vaad-Talmidei-Hatmimim announced the regional conventions for Talmidim-Hashluchim, serving in yeshivas around the world.

Talmidim-Hashluchim are an integral part of Yeshivos today, they serve as role models and mentors to younger Bochurim and are influential in setting the prevailing tone and atmosphere in their respective Yeshiva. The Kinus infuses them with a sense of mission and responsibility so they positively impact their younger peers.

A Purim Katan Sicha

The Rebbe says:

1. The Ba’al Haturim (the code of Jewish law written by Rabbi Yakov ben Asher) and the Shulchan Aruch (the code of Jewish law composed by Rabbi Yosef Karo) both end off the section of “Orach Chayim – The way of life” with the Halachos (laws) of Purim Katan.

2. We could explain simply that the code of Jewish law ends off with the Halochos of Purim Katan because it is written in accordance with the yearly cycle; first the Halochos of Rosh Chodesh (sanctifying the New Moon), then the Halochos of Pesach (Passover)….then the Halochos of Succos (Succot), Chanukah (Hanukah), and finally, Purim. In other words, beginning from Rosh Chodesh Nissan (the New Month of Nissan), which is actually the first Mitzvah (commandment) that the Jewish people were given, Purim is the end of the year.

Major Book on the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Schneerson, Released

By Hallie Cantor

Among the contributors, Clockwise: Rabbi Simon Jacobson, Rabbi Shmuel Lew, Mr. Eli Wiesel and Professor Dr. Lawrence Schiffman.

Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the seventh Lubavitcher Rebbe, fled a wartorn Europe to build up in the U.S. a virtual empire of Hassidim. From Brooklyn to Bangkok, his Chabad houses welcome Jews from all walks of life. At the height of the Six Day War, the Rebbe’s “soldiers,” disciples scurried all over Israel for his “tefillin campaign,” bringing many Jews to their heritage. Rabbis, scientists, politicians – all had the privilege of meeting or corresponding with the Rebbe. His spiritual advice, Torah knowledge, love of humanity — to many, the Rebbe was not only a guide, but a legacy.
