A Chabad post, where men of all ages are encouraged to try tefillin for the first time.

The familiar sight of Chabadniks inviting youths to put on tefillin may suffer a serious setback if a bill proposed by Labor MK Ophir Paz-Pines in the Knesset on Monday becomes law. The bill would prevent adults from placing pressure on anyone under the age of 18 to increase or decrease their religious involvement.

According to Paz-Pines, too much pressure is placed on youths to alter their religious traditions. Pressing youths to observe or discard religious practices can “cause the break-up of a family and cause damage to minors,” he said.

Yud Tes Kislev At Rabbi ‘O’s Yeshiva (YNS) Like Never Before

It all started at 4:00 p.m. when everyone washed & sat down for the beautifully prepared Seuda which was followed by a farbrengen headed by Rabbi Yaacov Orimland and joined by mashpia, Rabbi Levi Wilschanski, our magidei shiurim, Rabbi Landesman and Rabbi Rottenberg and our madrich, Habochur Moshe Benshimon.

Preparations for Yud Tes Kislev started “shloshim yom kodem ha’chag” when the mivtza of saying Chitas and being makpid in putting on Rabbeinu Tam, was introduced to the bochurim. Yasher Koach to those bochurim who accomplished and stood firm with their hachlotah and will IY”H be rewarded with an exciting outing of night jeeping in the Golan.

Yud Tes Kislev Farbrengen in South Florida

They came from near and from far to partake in the celebration at The Shul of Bal Harbour. Close to 700 strong attended the Farbrengen and were moved by the words of Chassidus of the Rebbe’s Shliach to the upper Midwest, Rabbi Moshe Feller and were inspired by the depth and richness of the Alter Rebbe’s niggunim performed by the Menagen Mayer Rivkin.

Rabbi Sholom Lipskar, the Rebbe’s Shliach, founder and spiritual leader of The Shul of Bal Harbour, welcomed the assembled and explained the significance and deep meaning of this joyous day. Segments of the new JEM production “The Early Years” were then shown, to the delight of all.

Rabbi Yechiel Baitelman of Chabad of Richmond holds a Menorah in City Hall. A Hanukkah Family Festival will be held Sunday and the public is invited to take part in building an eight-foot tall Menorah out of Lego.

Richmond, British-Columbia, Canada — How is it that the simple act of lighting candles can have so much meaning?

When it's the Menorah - a nine-stick candelabrum - it possesses deep and historical symbolism rooted in Jewish religious freedom.

At around 2:00am a few Bochurim were walking home and when crossing the intersection of Union and Schenectady a car struck one of the Bochurim.

Hatzalah and 911 were called and arrive on scene immediately they treated the Bochur for a severe injury to his leg. The Bochurim who were with him described the fleeing car as a white Chevy Impala. Police filled out a report and the Bochur was transported to Kings County Hospital.
