Respect the Shul!

Since Shavuos, Anash communities across the world have been exposed to a new educational brochure. A group of concerned Chassidim has seen the need to raise the level of Lubavitch community awareness of proper conduct during Davening and have published a new color brochure and had it circulated amongst Lubavitch communities worldwide.

The brochure titled “ומקדשי תיראו” (“You shall revere my Sanctuary”) addresses basic yet fundamental Hanhagos and Halachos concerning proper conduct in Shul. Aimed at a Lubavitch audience, the brochure describes the vital need for proper decorum in Shul during prayer, citing brief but pointed statements from Gemara, Shulchan Aruch, and the often passionate words of the Rebbes of Lubavitch.

Michael Bagraim, National Chairman of the SAJBOD contrasted the current challenge our community faces through the anti-Israel bias we feel from Government with the ever-positive attitude that the Rebbe inspired his followers to bring to South Africa starting from the 1970’s until today. He concluded by sharing his personal story when his own decision not to emigrate was influenced by the arrival of the Chabad Lubavitch Shluchim during that period.
