It was a beautiful day on March 1, 1994, as Nachum Sasonkin, an Israeli-born 18-year-old student at the Lubavitcher Yeshiva in Brooklyn, rode in a van with his friends, returning to yeshiva from a visit to the hospital in Manhattan where their Rebbe, R’ Menachem Mendel Schneerson—lay in a coma. They were young men, teenagers, studying in yeshiva; everything was just the way they had hoped it would be. But then, all of a sudden and out of nowhere, everything went black. Someone was shooting at their school bus.
Every Jewish person was at Har Sinai when the Torah was received — men and women of every age, tiny children and even the Neshamos of future generations.
The Rebbe has always reminded us to celebrate and relive that historic unity each Shavuot by bringing every member of the family, from tiny infants up, to hear the Aseres Hadibros read in Shul.
CrownHeights.info has compiled a list of times and Shul locations around Crown Heights that are reading the Aseres Hadibros for your convenience.
It's The Jews Again!
Jerusalem (SatireWire.com) Update — Jews, whose troubled, 10,000-year term as G-d's “Chosen People” finally expired last night, woke up this morning to find that they had once again been hand-picked by the Almighty. Synagogues across the globe declared a day of mourning.
Asked if the descendants of Abraham shouldn't be pleased about being tapped for an unprecedented second term, Jerusalem Rabbi Ben Meyerson shrugged. “Of course, you are right, we should be thrilled,” he said. “We should also enjoy a good swift kick in the head, but for some reason, we don't.
”Now don't ask such questions until you watch the news, or read history, or at least rent 'Fiddler on the Roof'.“
Much of the world's re-blessed Jewish community shared that feeling. ”It's always been considered a joke with us. You know, 'Please G-d, next time choose someone else,' ha ha," said New York City resident David Bashert.
