Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL
Spotting an extraordinary teacup, a middle age couple who shared a deep appreciation for fine antiques and pottery, asked the proprietor of a local antique shop if they might have a closer look: “We’ve never seen a cup quite as beautiful,” they told the lady while she handed them the delicate article.
“I've not always been a teacup, you know,” whispered the antique as they took her into their hands. “There was a time when I was just a lump of clay.” “Oh, please tell us more,” urged the awestruck couple.
"As I said, I was once just a lump of red clay when my master took me and rolled me and repeatedly pounded and patted me. 'Don’t do that,' I yelled. 'I don’t like it!' But he only smiled and gently repeated, 'Not yet, not yet.'
Then, wham! I was placed on a spinning wheel and suddenly I was spun around and around. 'Stop it! I’m so dizzy, I’m going to be sick!' I screamed. But the master only nodded and muttered quietly, 'Not yet'.
He spun, poked and prodded and shaped me to suit himself and then put me in the oven. I never felt such heat. I yelled and knocked and pounded at the door. 'Help! Get me out of here!'

Christine Christine - Star Ledger

BASKING RIDGE, NJ — On a recent chilly evening, more than 150 people gathered inside a fancy hotel ballroom to witness an uncommon 3,318-year-old tradition.

As all eyes watched, the white-bearded rabbi in the black robe and yarmulke bent over an animal hide parchment scroll. He dipped his turkey quill into black ink, lifted his unhelpful spectacles to his brow, and pressed the pen to parchment.

Yehuda L. Ceitlin - Chabad.org

A group of 10 members of Montreal's Jewish community sit down every morning to learn a section of the Tanya.

MONTREAL, Canada — Some would call the way 10 Jewish men and women in Montreal push off their work days in order to learn a Jewish text for 45 minutes downright stubborn. But while these professionals admit that they're nothing if not persistent, they contend that their daily study of the Tanya, the bedrock text of Chabad Chasidic thought, is a necessity in a harried world.
