Zelda, left, and Chana Eber, twin 3-year-olds, recently celebrated their birthday by lighting the traditional Shabbat candles.

NEW PORT RICHEY, FL — With gifts wrapped in Tinkerbell paper, an array of cakes and cookies, and lollipop centerpieces, it looked like a birthday party for a little princess.

It was that and much more. Yet this party didn't have pin the tail on the donkey or clowns or inflatable houses to bounce around in.

The Rebbe says:

1. In this week’s Torah portion Hashem (G-d) tells Yakov Avinu (Jacob our Forefather) that his name would no longer be called “Yakov” (Jacob), it would now be called “Yisroel” (Israel) .

2. As the preface to a question, the Rebbe now quotes the Talmud which discusses this verse:

The Talmud tells us that whoever calls our Forefather Avraham “Avram” (which was his original name), transgresses the verse, “And your name shall no longer be called ‘Avram’; it shall henceforth be called ‘Avraham’”.

Rabbi Yerachmiel Gorelik

FT COLLINS, CO — When Rabbi Yerachmiel Gorelik first asked the city to include a menorah in its Old Town holiday display two years ago, he never imagined it would become such a to-do.

Gorelik's request sparked a debate in Fort Collins over appropriate holiday displays on and inside city buildings - a discussion that gained national attention in recent weeks and which the City Council voted on Tuesday night.
