Salvador, (Bahia) Brazil — Seeking sun, sand and samba lessons, 20,000 Israeli backpackers a year wind their way through the ancient ruins and beachside paradises of South America. For IDF soldiers, it’s a much needed relief from the stress of army service and the intensity of life on Israel’s borders.

Monroe, NJ — The Chabad Jewish Center of Monroe has opened a religious school for elementary-age pupils, only the second in Monroe Township.

“We are calling it a pilot program,” said Chanie Zaklikovsky, the school’s director and wife of the Chabad rabbi, Eliezer Zaklikovsky. “We have eight children enrolled, ages eight to 11,” for the Sunday morning classes. “If we get more children or younger children, we will open the school to them as well.”

Despite the area’s reputation as a haven for retirees, the Zaklikovskys predict there is a need to be filled among Jewish families who have moved into the housing developments that have blossomed in Monroe Township in the past few years.

Rabbi Shayah Susskind and his wife, Chana, moved to Asheville from Brooklyn, NY to do outreach and teach about the Jewish faith. They run the WNC Chabad Lubivitch Center for Jewish Life.

Asheville, NC — “I go to the grocery store, and I know people are curious,” says Susskind, an Orthodox Jewish rabbi and head of The Western North Carolina Chabad Lubavitch Center for Jewish Life, referring to the beard and traditional Orthodox Jewish clothing he wears.

Susskind and his wife, Chana, were raised in Brooklyn, N.Y. They came to Asheville earlier this year to reach out to Jews and non-Jews alike, to teach them about Judaism.

Yosef Y. Jacobson - Algemeiner
Chapter 13 of Genesis, this week’s portion, describes Abraham's disengagement from his nephew Lot. The background to this development is clear. Both Abraham and Lot have become quite wealthy, their flocks have become numerous; the grazing lands are no longer large enough to meet their needs. Disputes brake out between the shepherds of Abraham and Lot.

So Abraham tells Lot (1): "Let there be no arguments between the two of us or between our shepherds, because, after all, we are brothers.” Abraham suggests that they part ways. “If you go left then I will go right, and if you go right then I will go left.” Immediately agreeing to Abraham's proposal, Lot chooses the Jordan plain and Abraham settles in the Land of Canaan. They separate.

The story seems straightforward. Yet sensitive, as always, to subtle nuances in the biblical narrative, our sages exposed another dimension to the story.
