As a young generation of Russian-American Jews grows up, one organization makes changes in the way it reaches out.
As 30 Jewish teens, all first and second generation Russian immigrants, snapped their boot bindings into their skis and leapt aboard Hunter Mountain’s lift, they were continuing a tradition of Jewish education begun by Friends of Refugees of Eastern Europe (F.R.E.E.) in 1969. Back in the 70s and early 80s, when Soviet Jews arrived with few or no possessions but a passion for religious freedom, F.R.E.E. served as benefactor, offering practical necessities – dishes and clothing – and spiritual growth opportunities with a yeshiva, Jewish camp, and brit milah services. All still exist: F.R.E.E. recently performed its 13,200th circumcision; its Brooklyn day camp attracted 150 kids last summer; the F.R.E.E. high school is still open on Ocean Parkway. But the organization’s focus has evolved with the changing needs of the Russian-Jewish community.

New issue is full of ethnic history, creativity, and favorites from Sussex communitySparta - “Creative Kosher Cooking” is not just another Kosher cookbook. Into its pages and recipes are woven the fabric, makeup and story of its contributors. The history and legends of the foods reflect the story of the Jewish community of Sussex County.
Shmuel Lewis, the rabbi of the Chabad Synagogue of Sussex County, often relates that every time he meets a Jew living in the metropolitan area of New York and tells them that he is a Rabbi in Sussex County, they are always shocked: “You mean there is a Jewish community nestled in the woods and farms of the northwestern tip of New Jersey?” Actually he receives the same surprised response from the Jewish people in the area: “We never knew there were so many Jews living in the area!”

The Rebbe presents a solution to finally bring Moshiach... and guess what? It's up to you! Also on Living Torah this week: * We ... all want Moshiach Now! * Until Moshiach comes there is a need... and therefore an opportunity. * A Time to build.
The Weekly Living Torah – Help Bring Moshiach
The Rebbe presents a solution to finally bring Moshiach… and guess what? It’s up to you! Also on Living Torah this week: * We … all want Moshiach Now! * Until Moshiach comes there is a need… and therefore an opportunity. * A Time to build.
The Rebbe says:
1. This week we begin the second book of the Five Books of Moses, the second book in the Torah. The second book in the Torah is called “Shemos - Names”.
2. In the beginning of this week’s Parshah the Torah enumerates for us the names of Ya’akov Avinu and his children which had gone down to Egypt earlier on.
[Earlier on when Yoseph made it known to his brothers that he was in fact their brother and not just an Egyptian ruler he told his family to come down to Egypt and live there. And so it was that Ya’akov (Yoseph’s father) and all his family went down to Egypt].

Colel Chabad has acquired the Arcadia Hotel located on King George and Jaffa Roads in the heart of Central Jerusalem. The facility will house the Fenya Krugman Women’s Institute of Colel Chabad.
Colel Chabad, charities of Rabbi Meir Baal Haness, was founded by the Alter Rebbe and headed by each Lubavitcher Rebbe since. On many occasions the Rebbe wrote regarding the overabundance of love that each one of the Rabbeim had for the institution of Colel Chabad.

Rabbi Yossi Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL
It happened in those days that Moshe grew up and went out to his brethren and he observed their burdens . . . – Exodus 2:11
“And he observed their burdens:” He focused his eyes and heart so as to feel their suffering and grieve for them – Rashi Exodus 2:11
Among the volunteers that came, after World War II, to visit and aid the thousands of survivors who found themselves in displaced-persons (DP) camps throughout Germany and Poland, was Rabbi Eliezer Silver.
One day, as they were distributing Siddurim (prayer books), the Rabbi came across a man who emphatically refused to accept anything of a religious nature. “After seeing with my own eyes the way religious Jews behaved in the concentration camp,” the man declared disdainfully, “I no longer wish to have any involvement with religion!”
