Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine –- An invaluable new initiative in the city of Dnepropetrovsk has gotten underway in aims of introducing national and religious traditions in the lives of local Jewish families. The Jewish community of Dnepropetrovsk inaugurated the project 'My Shabbat, My Soul' this week.Such a project is of particular value in modern society, given that many national traditions have been lost and very few people hold enough knowledge on celbrating the Shabbat. “This is not only a day we refrain from working, but a day that we can support a relationship with the source of our spirituality,” stated Alexander Zhukov, the Coordinator for this project.

Kostroma, Russia –- This week, Jews residing in Kostroma had good occasion for celebration, with the centennial anniversary of the city's historic Synagogue. This structure was built exactly 100 years ago by Rabbi Tzvi-Hirsh Shneiderman, whose predecessors also traveled here from far away to mark this important event. Rabbi Shneiderman, who led the rather small Jewish community at that time, drafted the architectural plans himself and oversaw the construction of this building.Kostroma Jews Mark Synagogue’s Centennial Anniversary

Sholom Aleichem. The scene was right before a meal about 110 years ago. Rabbi Sholom Ber Schneersohn, the third Chabad Rebbe known as the Rashab, was washing for bread. He was meticulous in everything and ritual washing before bread was no exception. Suddenly, his younger brother Rabbi Menachem Mendel rushed in breathlessly.“What a discovery!” exclaimed Rabbi Menachem Mendel, “Doctors in France have discovered a vein in the back of the human head. This vein can help one to concentrate or remember. When one leans forward this vein causes the blood to flow towards the part of the brain that aids concentration and helps one concentrate. When one leans back this vein causes blood to flow towards the memory part of the brain and helps one recall.”
