Rabbi Yossi Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL
And Moshe said to the people: “Fear not, stand by and see the salvation of G-d which He will show you today; for as you have seen Egypt this day, you shall not see them again, forever. G-d shall fight for you, and you shall be silent.”
And G-d said to Moshe: “Why do you cry out to Me? Speak to the children of Israel, that they should go forward.” – Exodus 14:13-15
And G-d said to Moshe: “Why do you cry out to Me? Speak to the children of Israel, that they should go forward.” – Exodus 14:13-15
Two harrowing centuries of exile and slavery have come to a happy end, as a battery of devastating plagues – no less than ten in total – broke the resolve of the Egyptian tormenters – compelling them to release the children of Israel from their evil clutches.
With their sights now set on Mount Sinai and their long awaited rendezvous with G-d, the Israelites were free at last – well on their way to a future of promise and reward. Or so they thought.

Mesivta Menachem of Amherst (Buffalo) makes Hachonos, farbrengs with Reb Shalom, travels to the Rebbe for Yud Shvat
Hachonos for Yud Shvat began in earnest “Shloishim Yom L’fnei HaChag” with the Shluchim launching a new Mivtza titled “Who Are We.” The Mivtza had the Bachurim learning extensively, researching various Chassidishe topics, answering question sheets, and memorizing essays, all culminating in weekly tests. (The success was so great the Mivtza has been extended until Purim!)
A few days before Yud Shvat, the Bachurim participated in a farbrengen with renowned Mashpia, Reb Shalom Charitonow. Reb Shalom shared some beautiful stories of the Rebbe, delivered intrinsic insights into the Ma’mar Basi L’Gani, and offered words of inspiration.
