West Boynton — Dozens of Jewish congregants observing the Sabbath and worshipping daily gather in a two-story home less than a half-mile from the mammoth Chabad Lubavitch of Greater Boynton synagogue.

But neighbors want them to stop.

The irritated residents say they want no more daily religious services conducted in the cream-and-champagne-colored home in the 6200 block of Madras Circle in the Indian Wells subdivision.

Agents of Change: Community Leaders and their Special Needs Children

R. C. Berman – Lubavitch.com
Gitti Perman gives a speech using her special voice output device.

Toronto, Canada — They are teachers, principals, administrators and community leaders. They are also mothers, often with large families. Sometimes, they are mothers of special needs children. How does a Chabad Shlucha [f. representative] reconcile the altogether consuming demands that come with being a mother of a special needs child, and those of being a community leader?

Motzei Shabbas Farbrengan with Tiferes Bochurim

“One with very bad vision does not leave their bedside without their glasses, else they would be blind and bump into walls, practically not being able to live. Similarly, today we are mostly spiritually blind. Just as a person who is legally blind goes no where without their glasses, so too is a Jew unable to take a step each morning without contemplating Hashem’s greatness or daven without first studying Chassidus.”

These words prevailed at Yeshiva Tiferes Bochurim where Rabbi Ginsberg, a Shliach in Boro Park, and Reb Leib Segal, a Tiferes graduate, came to Farbreng Motzei Shabbas. With Purim coming soon, the Bochurim have been enhancing their studies, outreach, and Chassidishe Farbrengens to prepare for the yom tov.

A Farbrengen With the Rebbe

It has become a tradition in Lubavitcher Yeshivos world-wide, that on special days, the Yeshivah gathers to watch a ‘Farbrengen’. This means an hour-and-a-half length video, a portion of one of the Rebbe’s Farbrengens on that day. The Sichos are studied, discussed and Farbrenged about, thereby giving bochurim the opportunity to learn from the Rebbe himself.

In connection with the upcoming Yom-Tov of Purim, ‘Vaad Talmidei Hatmimim’ has released a special DVD.

Miami, FL — The Chabad Jewish Student Center at Florida International University, known to students as ChabadFIU, will be celebrating the dedication of their new student center near the FIU University Park campus, on Sunday, March 11, beginning at 11:00 am.

ChabadFIU opened its doors in August of 2004 and quickly outgrew the townhouse they rented just west of the University Park campus. The purchase of the spacious new center, at 10031 SW 15 Terrace, a short walk from the campus dormitories, will enable the Jewish Student Center to accommodate more students at their programs, and will be more accessible to the Jewish student population.
