by Reuven Arazi

HALLANDALE BEACH, FL [CHI] — The three Mikvaos Mei Menachem under construction in Hallandale Beach are being built at a rapid pace, and should be completed , G-d willing, in time for the Jewish New Year 5769.With hydraulic lifts for the physically challenged,the Mikvaos will cater to hundreds of people, including individuals who could not perform this Mitzvah before due to the lack of a facility that fully includes the physically challenged community. Both the Women’s Mikvah and the Men’s Mikvah will have the hydraulic lifts and all the necessary features to service a large segment of individuals with special needs.

Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL
Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi once received a silver snuffbox as gift. But the Rebbe did not want to put it to its intended use, and remarked: “There is one part of the body which is not constantly seeking gratification – the nose. Should I train it, too, to be a pleasure-seeker?”

Instead, Rabbi Schneur Zalman found a more lofty use for the gift: he detached the snuffbox's cover and used it as a mirror to help him center the teffilin on his head.

This incident was once related to Rabbi Schneur Zalman's grandson, Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Lubavitch. As the one telling the anecdote described how Rabbi Schneur Zalman “broke off” the cover of the snuffbox, Rabbi Menachem Mendel remarked: “No, no, my grandfather never broke anyone or thing. He merely removed the hinge-pin which connected the upper part to the lower.”

The Rebbe says:

1. In this week’s Torah portion Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses our teacher) and Aharon Hakohen (Aaron the High Priest) plead with Hashem not to destroy Korach’s entire congregation; rather, Hashem should just destroy Korach because he was the one who incited and convinced everyone to rebel against Moshe Rabbeinu.

The Torah reads, “Hashem spoke to Moshe and Aharon, saying: ‘Separate yourselves from among this congregation and I will annihilate them in an instant’. They (Moshe and Aharon) fell upon their faces and they said, ‘Almighty, the G-d of the spirits of all flesh; if one man sins shall you be angry with the entire congregation?’”

Rabbi Nochum Kurinsky and his wife, Leah, recently bought their neighbor's home.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FL — In the tumultuous real estate market, it's still possible for people to sell their homes - especially if their next-door neighbors are interested in buying.

Such is the case with Ponte Vedra Beach resident Nochum Kurinsky and his former neighbor, Curtis Long. Kurinsky bought Long's home last fall. The two men said they are both happy with the deal and are glad things worked out as they did.
