Rabbi Chalom Boudjnah. says all students are welcome
San Diego, CA — More than 400 college students are expected to gather at San Diego State's Chabad House this weekend to rest, relax and celebrate life.

SDSU was selected to host this year's West Coast “Shabbaton,” an extended Jewish Shabbat festival held once a year.

Shabbat, or Sabbath, is the seventh day of the week and a time to rest, said Chalom Boudjnah, SDSU's Chabad House rabbi.

“In Jewish homes around the world, families get together every Friday night,” Boudjnah said. “On Saturday, they spend all day together, go the synagogue, participate in Shabbat and have a meal. It's time to disconnect from the crazy, busy times of the week. It's time to turn off your cell phone and spend time with family and friends.”

The Rebbe says:

1. In this week’s Torah portion the Torah tells us about two wars the Jewish people had (Exodus, Chapter 14, Verses 5-31 and Chapter 17, Verses 8-16). The Egyptians came to wage war with them at the Reed Sea and then later the nation of Amalek attacked them in the desert.

2. The Rebbe now observes how the two wars were handled:

With regards to the war with the Egyptians the Torah tells us that the Jewish people did not lift a finger to fight the Egyptians, Hashem (G-d) fought the war for them. Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses our teacher) told the Jewish people “Hashem will do battle for you, and you shall remain silent” (Exodus, Chapter 14, Verse 14).

Conejo Valley, CA — Construction of an eruv in the Conejo Valley was nearly complete last month when area residents began complaining to public officials about aesthetics and safety concerns as well as a lack of proper permits. Last week the eruv's organizers ordered all remaining portions along the enclosure's 5-mile perimeter be dismantled.

“We are sorry that mistakes were made and that the eruv was put up in an incorrect way,” Eruv Committee spokesman Eli Eisenberg told a hostile crowd of about 60 Conejo residents during the Oak Park Municipal Advisory Council (MAC) meeting on Jan. 23.
