Please stay tuned as we update this list as information becomes available. However, in an unfortunate event that we do not get all the Sholom Zochors this week, we are sorry. But you can help! If you know of any Sholom Zochors or Mazal Tovs you can email it to us at mazaltov@crownheights.info! Thank You.
We would like to wish Mazal Tov to Avi and Sarah (nee Gabai) Chandler (Brooklyn, NY) on the birth of their son.
May the newborn be a source of Nachas to his parents, grandparents, relatives and Klal Yisroel.
BROOKLYN , NY [CHI] — In 770, children would gather in their privileged spot in the front of the shul standing near the Rebbe’s Shtender. Their eyes would alternate between the holy words of the Siddur and catching glimpses of the Rebbe at prayer.
When Davening with the Rebbe first came out in 1998, it was acclaimed by parents and educators alike. Children were once again able to see and hear up close the Rebbe Davening.
With this special relationship in mind, a new version of Davening with the Rebbe has been released. Climbing the Rungs of Prayer has the original video footage and soundtrack, but it has gone giant steps further. Besides being available for the first time on DVD, the new version has a children’s narration narrated by children and explaining many basic concepts of prayer in a clear unsophisticated style which can easily be grasped by youngsters.

MIAMI, FL [CHI] — The students of Lubavitch Educational Center in Miami are well known for their over-the-top ahavas yisroel—love of their fellow Jews. Two years ago the student body raised $18,000 dollars for the rocket riddled Israeli communities of Sderot and Neharia. Another program encouraged them to give a gift of “mitzvahs” to the Rebbe and the Jewish people—which resulted in the collective performance of 22,180 extra mitzvahs. Past accomplishments have made it clear—the children of Lubavitch Educational Center are ready for anything. In fact, they’re now ready for a new mission: “Succos—No Jew Will be Left Behind.”

Chosen, along with four others, from 10,000 applicants, Leah received $10,000 for her magazine. Yaldah – Hebrew for “girl” – is a magazine that encourages young girls to follow their dreams, empowers them to take leadership roles in their communities and celebrates their Jewish faith.

The Talmud states that one who has never the joyous ceremony in the Holy Temple during Sukkot, has never seen joy. Jewish residents of S. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands will take that message to heart tonight when they commemorate the thousands-years-old ritual during a special party almost snuffed out by Hurricane Omar.
