PORT WASHINGTON, NY [CHI] — In an unprecedented move, the New York Islanders have invited Rabbi Paltiel of Chabad of Port Washington to perform a short pre-Chanukah ceremony at Nassau Coliseum during their game against the Boston Bruins this coming Monday night, December 3rd. The rabbi hopes to utilize the opportunity to promote the observance of the mitzvah of lighting Chanukah menorahs and its message of light, goodness and kindness, in a world sorely in need of it. He will be lighting a 9 foot menorah.

The Rebbe says:

1. In this week’s Torah portion the Torah tells us that Yoseph Hatzadik (Joseph the righteous one) was a man who was “Yefas To’ar V’Yefas Mar’eh – handsome of form and handsome of appearance” and he would curl his hair . The Torah continues and tells us that this caused the wife of his master Potiphar to cast her eyes upon him and want to lie with him , and this eventually landed him in jail . However, even while he was in jail Hashem was with him and he was successful in whatever he did .

In short, there are two parts to this story; 1) Yoseph Hatzadik was “Yefas To’ar V’Yefas Mar’eh – handsome of form and handsome of appearance”, and 2) the issue of Potiphar’s wife.
