Rabbi Shmuel Fuss, 27, of the Chabad Jewish Community Center in Riverside, left, watches as Andrew Malone, 16, sands an ark, a special cabinet for holding Torah scrolls, for the Chabad center.

RIVERSIDE, CA — The timing was perfect: Smooth sailing for Rabbi Shmuel Fuss' ark.

It isn't a vessel like Noah's, but a holy cabinet specially constructed to hold an ancient handwritten scroll called the Torah.

The fast end at 7:32pm (in NYC), for the Zmanim in your area visit Chabad.org

Today is a fast day mourning the assassination of the Jewish royal Gedaliah ben Achikam, governor of the Land of Israel for a short period following the destruction of the First Temple.

Gedaliah's killing spelled the end of the small remnant of a Jewish community that remained in the Holy Land after the destruction, which fled to Egypt. (According to many opinions, the assassination of Gedaliah actually occurred on Rosh Hashanah, but the commemoration of the event is postponed to the day after the festival; when the day after Rosh Hashanah is a Shabbat — as it is this year — the fast is postponed to Tishrei 4.)

The Rebbe says:

1. The Talmud tells us that “The Mitzvah of the day (of Rosh Hashanah) is blowing the Shofar”.

2. The Rebbe now quotes the Baal Shem Tov who explains the Shofar’s meaning:

The Baal Shem Tov explains the Shofar with a parable :

Blowing the Shofar is like a child crying to his father and saying, “Father, father, save me”.
