A year of Parasha Comics have gone by, so what now? In continued partnership between CrownHeights.info and comic Levi Welton we bring you the next year of Parasha Comics, but their inspiration will be drawn from the Haftorah rather than the Parasha.

Included will be a link back to the Parasha Comic of the year before along with a link to Chabad.org where you can learn the entire Haftorah of that week!

We would like readers to submit to us feedback using the comments system, letting us know what you think of this new idea and how we implement it. This is a pilot idea, and if the response is positive and strong enough we can look forward to seeing one each week! So please take a minute and share your thoughts with us.

Dear Editor,

As the media (including many Jewish outlets) continue to report as fact, many baseless rumors and every negative allegation they can find regarding the Agriprocessors plant in Iowa, we feel compelled to bring to light some qualities of the Rubashkin family which the media fails to report.

We serve as Jewish leaders in our respective communities and are first hand witnesses of the kindness and selfless concern that the Rubashkin family, led by the Reb Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin, show for thousands of communities, families and individuals around the world. We live in areas with a miniscule kosher clientele, where Kosher meat and poultry is difficult to find. Knowing the importance of the Mitzvah of Kashrut, and appreciating its fundamental place in Jewish life, as emphasized by our mentor the Lubavitcher Rebbe zy"a, the Rubashkin Family always goes out of its way to ensure that the Jewish families in our outlying and far-flung communities receive quality service and fresh products that we so greatly need.

The Rebbe says:

1. This week’s Torah portion discusses the Manna which fell from Heaven for the Jewish people.

2. Regarding the Manna the Talmud says:

“It is written in one verse, ‘When the dew would descend upon it’, which implies that the Manna fell in the camp itself, and it is written elsewhere, ‘And the people shall go out and collect each day’s portion of Manna’, which implies that the Manna fell just outside the camp, and it is written in yet another verse, ‘The people would roam and collect it’, which implies that they had to wander far from the camp before encountering the Manna’.

How do we reconcile these three conflicting verses?

ST LOUIS, MO — Rabbi Yosef Landa was devastated when he opened the arc at Bais Menachem-Chabad during a Sabbath service and discovered one of the Torahs was missing. But his attitude today is positive. “We can all learn lessons from this,” he said. “We’re looking to make lemonade out of lemons. We’ll take this event and grow from it. We’re already contemplating commission of a new Torah scroll and that will be a joyous occasion.”

MOSCOW, Russia [JTA] — A chief rabbi of Russia said that nationalism and compulsory Christian education are major problems in the country.

Berel Lazar, one of two chief rabbis in Russia, in an interview with the German newspaper Deutsche Welle said he believes that nationalist groups — skinheads, anti-immigration groups, far-right ideologues — were not as numerous as some estimate, but that such groups would grow in force if no one fights against them.
