The Rebbe says:

1. In this week’s Torah portion Hashem (G-d) tells Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses our teacher) that the Yidin (Jewish people) should set aside materials from their possessions and donate to the construction of the Mishkan (Tabernacle). As the Torah says, “Hashem spoke to Moshe saying. ‘Speak to the children of Israel and have them take for Me a Terumah-offering…”.

Rashi immediately explains this distinct wording and says that “for Me” means “to Me, to My name” . In other words, Rashi is saying that when one fulfils this Mitzvah (commandment) he should know that it is for Hashem and not for any other reason.

2. The Rebbe now asks a question:

ORENBURG, Russia — For the first time in the history of the Russian Federation's penitentiary system, a Brit Mila ceremony took place in the Orenburg Regional Prison. This age-old Jewish tradition involved a Jewish inmate who is currently serving out a ten-year term. While this ancient tradition is becoming more commonplace among Jews across the Former Soviet Union, it is quite unique that this ritual is undergone by those serving out prison sentences.

An ambulance passes by the Dimona, Israel, street corner housing the city's Chabad House and a shopping center that was struck by a suicide bomber.

DIMONA, Israel — Rabbi Yisroel Gellis had just finished hanging a big sign over the new branch of Chabad-Lubavitch of Dimona when 60 meters away, a Palestinian suicide bomber's explosion rocked the Israeli city's downtown shopping center and the relative calm that had descended of late on the country's interior.
