The Rebbe says:

1. In the beginning of this week's Torah portion Hashem tells Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses our teacher) that Pinchas deserves a great reward for “zealously avenging My vengeance” and therefore Pinchas should now become part of the Kohanim (a holy sect within the Jewish people who served Hashem in the Beis Hamikdash). (See chapter 25, Verses 10 through 13).

Omsk, Russia – The Jewish community of Omsk has just introduced a new initiative that will help its members better fulfil the mitzvah of honouring the deceased. This most recent project entails the collection of information and photos of the historic Jewish cemetery in this major west Siberian population center.

While the Jewish community regularly upholds their commitment by maintaining the cemetery, this new initiative will take that idea one step further by publishing and further developing a website dedicated to the historic Jewish cemetery. In the first stage, this site will feature photographs of each grave stone, and the biography of the Jew who is buried there.

Sara Spielman – NJ Jewish News

Brooklyn, NY — Dovid Taub has two main inspirations: Jim Henson and the Lubavitcher rebbe. Knitting threads of holy matters and kabalistic wisdom into the fabric of his puppetry, Taub has created an on-line sitcom whose witty humor and wacky characters draw legions of fans — fellow hasidim and others. The Itche Kadoozy Show features a bearded rabbi and his troublemaking young neighbor who poke lots of fun at each other and see the world through very different eyes, yet learn life lessons from each other. Through these contrasting cloth characters, Taub brings a new dimension to the genre — secularism and sacredness commingled.
