Menahem Mendel Bredoire (Paris, France) to Haya Mouchka Sebag (Paris,France)
The Rebbe says:

1. A big part of this week’s Torah portion discusses judgments/laws that Hashem laid down for us. One of the laws is about lending a poor person interest-free money:

The Torah says “Eem Kesef Talveh Es Ami, Es Heh’ani Ee’mach, Lo See’he’yey loy K’no’sheh, Lo S’see’moon Alav Neshech – If you will lend money to My people, to the poor person who is with you, do not act towards him as a creditor, do not place interest upon him” (Chapter 22, Verse 24).

The Jewish Ledger
Rabbi Sholomo Yaffe
West Hartford, CT — Jennifer Hartwell never felt the emotional connection to Judaism that so many of her Jewish friends experienced. Raised in a Reform Jewish family in which the attachment to Jewish life was more cultural than religious, she was, in her words, a “reluctant Jew.”

“I was skeptical of organized religion. I didn’t buy the endless number of “shoulds” - you should marry a Jew…you should feel something special for Israel — without meaningful explanations as to why,” says Hartwell, who moved to West Hartford from Boston three years ago with her husband and two young children.

Chof Beis Shvat In Manchester England

On Sunday night over 90 ladies gathered in Beis Menachem to commemorate the 19th yahrzeit of Rebbetzen Chaya Mushka, organised by N’shei Chabad.

On entering, we were greeted with a beautifully laid out hall in black and burgundy. Once we were all seated , the evening began with a welcome by Mrs Susan Jaffe, followed by the first ever performance by the Nshei Chabad ladies choir. Their rendition of chassidshe nigunim was so good they had to do an encore at the end of the evening.

Melbourne, Australia — Prominent Chabad identity Rabbi Joseph Gutnick has been named for the second time as the target of a terrorist assassination plot.

A French court last week heard that Rabbi Gutnick’s name was listed in a notebook filled with coded messages belonging to terror suspect Willie Brigitte.

The court heard that the notebook, found in Brigitte’s home in the Sydney suburb of Lakemba, also contained the names of Jemaah Islamiah spiritual leader Abu Bakar Bashir and Jack Roche, who is serving a nine-year jail sentence for conspiring to blow up the Israeli embassy in Canberra.

West Palm Beach, FL — Marc Benayer, the alleged shooter in the Chabad Weltman Synagogue killing in October 2005, was charged on Tuesday with solicitation of a hitman to kill a lawyer and a witness in the case and with witness tampering.

Benayer, 80, is being held in the Palm Beach County Jail and awaiting trial in the synagogue shooting during Rosh Hashanah services that left Jonathan Samuels mortally wounded. Samuels, 44, was shot twice in the back in the attack. He died in July 2006. Benayer was initially charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault. Medical officials and investigators are trying to determine if Samuels died from the gunshots in the alleged attack, if so charges could be upgraded to murder.

Students Rejoice As They Meet Their Classmates For The First Time!

“A Day of Celebration” commenced in Chovevei Torah last Thursday afternoon as over 130 girls and mothers attended the Yaldei HaShluchim Online School program during the Women’s Kinus, celebrating the success of their children and the school. The boys celebrated with a similar program during the Men’s Kinus in Cheshvan.

For the first time classmates who have never met each other in person sat together with their teachers. There were a lot of hugs and excitement exchanged as the students came in and took their seats. Mothers were also thrilled to talk to their daughter’s teacher in person. They enjoyed delicious food and listened to special guest speakers. Students received certificates during the awards ceremony and later, participated in actual classes.
