When Jewish Children Go Off To College . . .
Tarzana, CA — Jewish parents sending their children off to college want them to get a good education. But they are also right to worry about how their children’s Jewish identity will survive four years in an environment often at odds with Jewish values. Chabad campus rabbis have some insight.

The Darchai Menachem School which opened up a few years ago in Crown Heights quickly became famous for its high quality education with very specific and individual attention. Not for no reason is the school commonly referred to by residents as one of the best Moisdos in Crown Heights.
“One of the things that set Darchai Menachem apart from other schools is the small classes with 10 children, something that gives the teachers the possibility to give much more individual attention to each students need and creates a comfortable atmosphere in between students” said the principle R. Ayal Ben-Tzion

Reb Yoel: There is only ONE Derech in Chabad
In an unprecedented scathing attack in this week’s issue of Kfar Chabad magazine against the “shita” (the line of reasoning) of writing on the Rebbe “Shlitah,” Rabbi Yoel Kahn, the Rebbe’s chozer, said that this is going against the Torah and defames the Rebbe’s name. Reb Yoel stresses that he is not dealing with the “people” that have created this “shitah” but is condemning the “shitah” itself.
Reb Yoel: “When the Rebbe assumed leadership Yud Shvat 1951,” he stated clearly that the task of our generation is to complete the process of drawing down the Shechina in this world. This is done, the Rebbe said, through the dissemination of Torah, especially “Pnimiyus Hatorah.”
“To us chassidim, the real dissemination of Pnimiyus Hatorah is as expounded by the Rabbeim. The Rebbe asks in one of his sichos why did G-d have to tell Abaraham that ”I will make your name great?” Abraham was known to have been imbued with the greatest degree of humility how can one even think that he desired greatness?
Regents Park.
London (EJP) — Both Jewish and Muslim leaders have called for police to launch an official investigation into the Islamic extremism uncovered in the UK TV documentary “Undercover Mosque”, which revealed that anti-Semitic DVDs were on sale at London’s Central Mosque in Regents Park.
The films, contained the speeches by two radical preachers, Sheikh Feiz and Sheikh Khalid Yasin, which predict the mass-extermination of the Jews on a ”day of judgment,“ dismiss equal rights for women as ”foolishness," and accuse the Christian faith of deliberately spreading the AIDS virus around Africa.

1. In this week’s Parshah Hashem tells Moshe Rabbeinu (our teacher):
“The Jews should take a lamb on the tenth day of Nissan and slaughter it on the fourteenth day of the month of Nissan (Chapter 12, Verses 3 and 6). After the Jews slaughter the lamb they shall take some of the lamb’s blood and smear it on their doorposts (Chapter 12, Verse 7). The blood on their doorposts will serve as a sign (that the house is Jewish) and I will pass over their houses and you will be saved from the plague of the firstborn (Chapter 12, Verse 13)”.
2. The Rebbe now asks a question on this:
Why did Hashem tell the Jews to hold the lamb for four days? If they were supposed to slaughter the lamb on the Fourteenth of Nissan, why were they commanded to take the lamb on the Tenth of Nissan?
