The recruitment flier, produced by the Nationalist Coalition, named Rabbi Yerachmiel Gorelik of the Chabad Jewish Center of Northern Colorado and was distributed Dec. 19 in the Parkwood East neighborhood.
One question on the flier asked whether Gorelik should be allowed to display the menorah in Old Town.
“It was in my driveway,” Parkwood East resident Ralph Smith said. “I thought it was a little newspaper.”

Video of the Day – Weekly Living Torah Video Clip
Rabbi Yehuda Leib Posner relates how at a 1940’s Farbrengen, the Rebbe taught a lesson in Avodas Hashem (divine service) from the game of chess.
1. This weeks Parshah tells us about the beginning of the redemption from our Exile in Egypt. Seven of the Ten Plagues are mentioned in this week’s Parshah, and the Ten Plagues were what caused Pharaoh to let the Jews leave Egypt (actually at the end of the tenth plague Pharaoh chased the Jews out of Egypt).
2. As we said many times, every story in the Torah is written for us to learn a lesson from.
Seemingly the Torah should be called “Chochmah – Wisdom” because the Torah is the wisdom of Hashem? Instead Hashem named the Torah “Torah” which comes from the word “Ho’ra’ah – lesson”. This is because the Torah is deeper then just having great wisdom, it is a guide book for us as to how we should conduct our daily lives in the service of Hashem.

The student group is hosting a visit by Rabbi Bentzion Kravitz, author of the book “The Jewish Response to Missionaries” and founder of Jews for Judaism International. Kravitz will speak at 8 p.m. Thursday at Colorado State University Lory Student Center, Room 230.
The talk is titled “J*s Was a Jew: But Can a Jew Be for J*s?!” Kravitz will discuss Messianic Christian groups that assert that Jews can believe in J*s as the Messiah and still remain Jewish. He also will make suggestions about how Jewish students can respond to Christian evangelists.
