Rabbi Zvi Drizin, of Chabad of Dallas,
helps Darren Fishman put on tefillin.
Rabbi Drizin makes his way through the
Metroplex each Friday.
It’s an outstretched arm — actually dozens of them that greet Chabad of Dallas’ Rabbi Zvi Drizin each Friday as he makes his way through the city, helping men complete the mitzvah of putting on tefillin. “Just before the Six-Day War, the Lubavitcher Rebbe began a campaign for Lubavitchers to help soldiers in Israel by having soldiers put on tefillin,” he said. “Since that time, yeshiva students and other Lubavitchers have made it their mission to reach those who might not otherwise have the mitzvah. Tefillin are associated with Jewish pride and strength.”

The Rebbe says:

1. The Haftarah (a short selection from the Prophets, read every week after the regular Torah portion) of this week’s Torah portion is part of a series of “seven Haftaros of comfort” which we read between the Ninth of Av1 and Rosh Hashanah (the New Year).

The “seven Haftaros of comfort” are called thus because they speak about our final redemption and this gives us comfort and strength to overcome this dark exile.

2. The Rebbe now explains that the Torah portion after which the “Haftarah of comfort” is read must also be a Torah portion of comfort:

Question: Six years after 9/11, do you still fear another catastrophic attack here?

I see the same signs that this might happen again, though they won’t try the same methods. I would hope we’ve learned from 9/11 and that we’re better trained and prepared to spot the warning signs of another possible terrorist attack.

S Francisco, CA — When little Gary Langer tagged along with his father to Oakland Oaks games, the thought certainly passed through his mind: What if that were me up there, with everyone cheering?

Half a century later, it happened. By now he was Rabbi Yosef Langer, and when the San Francisco Giants desperately needed a hit they called on him — to blow his shofar.

Unfortunately on that evening in August of last year, Langer’s shofar blast did not spur the team to victory. But when the stadium’s scoreboard operators coined the term “Rally Rabbi,” 40,000 fans roared in approval.
