elUl 18Known as Chai Elul, the “life” of Elul. Birthday of Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov (1698), founder of the Chassidic movement, and of Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi (1745), founder of the Chabad movement.
elUl 25-26After midnight, we recite Selichot (special penitential prayers). We continue doing so every weekday morning until the eve of Rosh Hashanah.
elUl 25According to Jewish tradition, this was the first of the Six Days of Creation. Rosh Hashana is celebrated on day six, when Adam & Eve were created.
rOsh hashanah
Rosh Hashanah (literally, the “head” of the year) is the beginning of the Jewish year – and the “birthday” of all of creation. It commemorates the creation of Adam and Eve, the first humans. On the day he was created, Adam acknowledged G-d’s kingship over the
entire universe. Each Rosh Hashanah, we reaffirm this with our renewed commitment to G-d and His commandments.
The shOFar
The sounding of the Shofar (the ram’s horn) is a central observance of Rosh Hashanah. The Shofar calls many things to mind: It symbolizes our coronation of G-d as King, it is a “wake up call” to return to G-d, and it presages the coming of Moshiach, whose arrival will be heralded by the “Great Shofar”.
One who missed the Shofar in synagogue should make sure to hear at least the thirty prescribed Shofar sounds before the end of the day.
TashliCh
On Rosh Hashanah, or on one of the following days, it is customary to visit a body of water containing fish and to recite the Tashlich prayer. At this service, we symbolically “cast away our sins” as we start the year anew, assured that G-d will “cast all their sins into the depth of the sea.” (Micah 7:9)

FasT OF Gedaliah
The day after Rosh Hashanah is a public fast day, commemorating the slaying of Gedaliah. Gedaliah was the leader of the small Jewish community which remained in Israel at the beginning of the Babylonian exile. Tragically, these last remnants were then dispersed as well.
yOM KiPPUr
Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. On this day, we acknowledge and regret our past sins and resolve to improve in the future. In return, G-d promises us forgiveness. This day is one of spiritual cleansing; we refrain from working, eating and drinking, washing, anointing with oils or lotions, marital relations and wearing leather shoes.
sUKKOT
After a period of sober and reverent reflection during the Days of Awe, we are ready for the joyous holiday of Sukkot, “the Season of our Joy”, rejoicing in the knowledge that G-d has inscribed us for a good and healthy new year. The name Sukkot is derived from the word Sukkah, or hut. In commemoration of the protective “clouds of glory” with
which G-d surrounded the Jewish people on their way out of Egypt, we live in makeshift huts during the seven days of this holiday.
The FOUr Kinds
During Sukkot, we observe the special mitzvah of shaking the Lulav (palm branch) and the Etrog (citron). Taken together with the Hadas (myrtle) and the Aravah (willow), these very different plant species represent the unity of disparate types of Jews who all play their part in forming the Jewish nation.
siMChaT TOrah
Simchat Torah marks the day we complete the reading of the Torah in its annual cycle. On the evening of Simchat Torah, (and in many communities, on the previous evening of Shemini Atzeret as well) we make seven Hakafot (circuits) around the table upon which the Torah is read, dancing and rejoicing with the Torah scrolls. During morning services on Simchat Torah, we complete the Torah, reading the last Torah portion. We immediately start reading the Torah from the beginning again – remembering that the Torah is an endless source of wisdom, each cycle challenging us to discover its ever-deeper meaning.

The weeKly TOrah readinG
According to our tradition, the custom of reading from the Torah in the Synagogue every Shabbat is one of the oldest Jewish customs, instituted by Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses) himself. The Torah was divided
by Moshe into 54 portions, which is the maximum number of regular readings possible during a Jewish calendar year. The regular cycle is suspended during Jewish holidays, when we read holiday-themed portions instead. Most years, it becomes necessary to occasionally group two portions together in order to complete the cycle on time for Simchat Torah. Our lives are built around the calendar cycles: The year, the month, the week. Every day, the current Torah-Reading offers a fresh source of inspiration. Though repeated again and again, there is always a new insight, a new guidance, a new commentary on the here and the now. This is the Jewish way of “living with the times.”

KisleV 19“Chassidic Rosh Hashanah” Yartzeit of Rabbi Dov Ber of Mezritch, the second leader of the Chassidic movement (1772). Release from prison of Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, founder of the Chabad movement (1798). His triumphant release marked a turning point in the spreading of Chassidic thought, and this date is celebrated in many communities throughout the world.
CelebraTinG ChanUKah
The kindling of the Menorah is the focal point of the Chanukah holiday, symbolizing religious freedom and the strength of the Jewish spirit. The menorah is kindled on each of the eight nights of Chanukah, this year beginning Tuesday evening, December 20th.
The Menorah is placed at the left side of a central doorway of the home, or at the front window. The candles should be lit
immediately following sunset. However, due to Shabbat observance, the Menorah is lit before the Shabbat candles on Friday evening and after the Havdalah ceremony at the end of Shabbat.
Prepare the Menorah so that the candles will remain lit for at least a half-hour after dusk. Gather all family members and light the Shamash, the service candle. Recite the proper blessings and light the candles beginning from the left. Finally, place the Shamash at its designated place.
OTher ChanUKah
ObserVanCes:
In addition to the kindling of the Menorah, special prayers are added to the regular services during the eight days of the holiday. Additional customs include preparing oil-rich dishes such as doughnuts or latkes; playing with the dreidel (spin-top); and the giving of Chanukah-gelt (cash gifts) to the young.

TeVeT 10Observed as a fast day. On this date, Je-rusalem was placed under siege by the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar, resulting in the destruction of the First Temple (422 BCE).
TeVeT 24Yartzeit of Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, founder of the Chabad movement (1813). KOsherKashrut: Spiritual Diet for a Small PlanetFor our physical well-being, few things are as important as a healthy diet. But the Kosher laws offer the soul similar benefits, and more. The mystical masters teach us that everything we eat has a bit of holiness – a “spark” of divine energy released when we eat foods prepared in accord with the kosher laws. Just as the body responds to the quality of the food that fuels it, so too the soul: With appropriate foods prepared in the prescribed manner, we absorb the Divine nourishment that makes for a healthy spirit. Adapting your diet to a kosher life- style is easier than you might imagine. The shelves of your local supermarket are stocked with literally hundreds and thousands of products produced under kosher supervision. All you need to do is ask – call our office for advice and information.
MezUzah
The Mezuzah is a small piece of parch-ment containing two Torah passages (the first two paragraphs of the Shema prayer), which is affixed to the door posts of Jew-ish homes and businesses.The Mezuzah reminds us of G-d’s constant presence even within our dwellings. Juda-ism begins at home – and the Mezuzah re-minds us that through our good deeds we fill our homes with holiness.A kosher Mezuzah protects our homes, too. On the back of the Mezuzah is inscribed the Divine name, Sha-Da-I, made up of three Hebrew letters which form the acronym of the phrase, “Keeper of the Gates of Israel”. The Talmud teaches: While it is customary for servants to guard the king’s palace, the Divine King, in His great love for us, guards the doors of our homes. The Mezuzah is hand-written on a parch-ment by a qualified sofer (scribe). To make sure that your Mezuzot (pl. of Mezuzah) are Kosher, it is important to purchase Mezu-zot from a reliable source and to have them checked by a professional scribe every few years. Contact our office to find out more about purchasing, checking and affixing Mezuzot.

february 2012 - shevat/adar 5772cwwga, rst-yca
sheVaT 10Yartzeit of Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, sixth leader of Chabad-Lubavitch (1950). Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak fought to preserve Jewish life in the U.S.S.R. until he was imprisoned, threatened with his life, and finally forced to leave (1927). In 1940 he came to the United States and established the network of Chabad-Lubavitch educational institutions throughout the U.S.A. and across the world.This day also marks the beginning of the leadership of his son-in-law Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, known as the Lubavitcher Rebbe.
sheVaT 15 – TU b’sheVaT
In Jewish tradition, the fifteenth day of Shevat is the “New Year” of the trees, opening the season in which trees begin to bud in the Holy Land of Israel. Just as Rosh Hashanah, the New Year for all creation, is the day on which man is judged, so too is Tu B’Shevat the day of judgment for earth’s trees.To commemorate this special day, Jews throughout the world eat the distinctive foods that are characteristic of the Holy Land, especially the five fruits mentioned in the Torah: Grapes, Figs, Pomegranates, Olives, and Dates.
sheVaT 22Yartzeit of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneerson, wife of the Lubavitcher Rebbe (1988).
shabbaT and FesTiVal Candles
Throughout the ages, light has stirred the imagination of poets, mystics, scientists and psychologists. Because its nature is so different from other material entities, it is often used to describe spiritual insight. Shabbat is a day of light; its pattern and value-orientation is different from the other days of the week. Thus it is the lighting of the Shabbat Candles that ushers in this state of awareness and inspires us to feel the way it permeates our lives. The mystics call this day of light the Shabbat Queen, and the responsibility for lighting the candles and inducing this change of perspective is the woman’s. It is she who welcomes the Shabbat Queen into the home.
Young girls, from about the age of three, are encouraged to light their own candles, to involve and educate them in this profound and beautiful mitzvah.
The Shabbat Candles are lit 18 minutes before sunset.

PUriM
The actual story of Purim, as told in the Scroll of Esther, is as fascinating and spell-binding as any best seller. Yet, though it is sacred scripture, we do not find the name of G-d mentioned even once! But within the intricate details of the Megillah, we can detect the unmistakable hand of Divine Providence. And the closer we examine the story, the more we discover that even seemingly insignificant events are precisely arranged by the hand of the Al-mighty.
The MiTzVOT OF PUriM are:
• The Fast of Esther, held before Purim, to commemorate the day of prayer and fasting which the Jews held before their victory.
• Listen to the reading of Megillat Esther (the Scroll of Esther) at night and day, recounting the story of Purim.
• Send gifts containing at least two types of ready-to-eat food to one or more friends on the day of Purim. These gifts, called Mishloach Manot (“sending portions”), should preferably be sent via a third party.
• Give Matanot L’evyonim (“gifts of charity to the poor”). While Tzedakah (charity) is a year-round responsibility, it is a particularly special Mitzvah on Purim. Give to at least two needy individuals on Purim day.
• Celebrate with a special festive and joyous meal.
• It is traditional to give 3 half dollar coins to charity before Purim, to commemorate the annual half-shekel given by each Jew in the times of the Holy Temple. This mitzvah is usually performed in the synagogue.
we wish yOU all a JOyOUs PUriM!

nisan 11Birthday of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson (1902).
CelebraTinG PesaCh (PassOVer)
Pesach is celebrated by refraining from eating or owning any chametz foods for the duration of the holiday, and by participating in a Seder dinner on the first two nights of the holiday.
reMOVal OF ChaMeTzChametz (leaven) is defined as wheat, barley, oats, rye or spelt which have been mixed with water and then had time to rise. During Pesach it is forbidden to eat, derive benefit or even own chametz, or any mixture containing chametz.We prepare for Pesach by thoroughly clean-ing our home, workplace or other place we own, and removing any trace of chametz we may find. Sinks, tables, counter tops, and dishes not used exclusively for Pesach need to be koshered. All food products used on Pesach must be certified Kosher for Passover.On the evening before Pesach begins (this year on Thursday evening, April 5), we formally search the entire home for any remaining chametz. Any chametz we don’t plan on destroying is placed in a special
room or closet, sealed, and sold - through a Rabbi - to a non-Jew for the duration of the festival. Unsold chametz must be destroyed the morning be- fore the Festival. The seder
The Pesach Seder, conducted each of the first two nights of Pesach, is the central event of the Passover festival.dUrinG The seder, we:• Drink four cups of wine (or grape juice),
reminding us of the redemption and its four stages.
• Ask the Four Questions and recite the Haggadah, which tells the story of Passover and describes the miracles of our redemption.
• Eat Matzah, the plain unleavened bread which symbolizes both the simple bread of slaves and the swiftness of the redemption from Egypt, which did not give our ancestors time to let their dough rise.
• Eat Maror (bitter herbs), which reminds us of the bitterness of the enslavement.
The lasT day OF PesaCh
The eighth and final day of Pesach is associated with Moshiach and our fervent hope for his imminent arrival. In many communities, a festive “Moshiach Meal” is organized toward the evening, to emphasize this day’s special dimension.

COUnTinG OF The OMer:
Beginning the second evening of Pesach, we count seven weeks until the arrival of the festival of Shavuot. They correspond to the seven weeks, starting from the night of the Exodus, during which our ancestors eagerly awaited the receiving of the Torah at Mount Sinai.
iyar 14 – PesaCh sheni
When the Holy Temple stood in Jerusalem, this day offered a second chance to offer the Passover sacrifice for those who, because of distance or ritual impurity, had been unable to bring their offering at the appropriate time.
iyar 18 – laG ba’OMer
On this date, in the early 2nd century, the students of Rabbi Akiva, the greatest sage of that era, ceased to die from an epidemic. Years later on this same date, his student Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, Mishnaic sage and author of the Zohar (the seminal work of Kabbalah) passed away. Having fulfilled his mission in this world he asked that the anniversary of his death be celebrated as a joyous occasion. Through- out the Land of
Israel – and indeed in Jewish communities throughout the world – this day is marked with festivities and bonfires. In particular, thousands journey to rejoice in the town of Miron, site of Rabbi Shimon’s resting place. The hOliday OF shaVUOT:
The festival of Shavuot celebrates the giving of the Torah, G-d’s gift to every single Jew. The Torah provides humankind with directives to lead a meaningful, productive life. It gives us the insight to see beyond the outer layers of our physical existence and behold the G-dliness within, and the means with which we can refine our lives and the world around us.
shaVUOT ObserVanCes:
• All night Torah study on the first night of Shavuot. This is the best preparation for receiving the Torah!
• Reading of the Ten Commandments in the synagogue on the first day of Shavuot. Bring your children too!
• A festive dairy meal is served on the first day of Shavuot. Our ancestors had not yet learned to prepare Kosher meat!

TaMMUz 3Passing of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson (1994). The Rebbe’s contribution to Jews and Judaism in this generation is immeasurable. Under his leadership and guidance, thousands of young couples have dedicated their lives, through the global network of Chabad-Lubavitch institutions, to spread Yid-dishkeit throughout the globe. His vision and promise of an imminent re-demption, and a world filled with G-dli-ness, peace and harmony continues to inspire millions throughout the world. Through our efforts, it shall surely soon become a reality.
The UPCOMinG redeMPTiOnThe belief in the upcoming redemption is one of the foundations of our faith, and has been promised to us by almost every one of our prophets, beginning with Moses
himself. Maimonides included it in his famous Thirteen Principles of the Jewish Faith. Throughout the ages, even during the most trying times, our ancestors have always prayed for and looked forward to the coming of Moshiach, our redeemer.
leT’s welCOMe MOshiaChLed by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, many prominent Rabbis proclaimed this generation to be the one destined to usher in the final redemption. We can prepare for this special time by studying the relevant passages in the Torah and its commentaries, by raising our awarness of The Rdemption, and by increasing in acts of goodness and kindness. This will not only help us prepare for the redemption – this will hasten its arrival!

July 2012 - Tammuz/Menachem av 5772cwwga, ct ojbn-zun,
TaMMUz 12Birthday of Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak, sixth leader of Chabad-Lubavitch (1880), and his release from Bolshevik imprisonment (1927). He was imprisoned and threatened with his life for his struggle to preserve Judaism in the Soviet Union. His release was celebrated throughout the Jewish world as a victory for Jewry and Judaism.
FasT OF TaMMUz 17The 17th of Tammuz marks the beginning of a three-week period of mourning. This is a tragic time on our calendar during which many calamities befell our nation in the course of history. On the 17th of Tammuz in particular, after years of siege, the walls of Jerusalem were breached. The Jew-ish forces continued to defend the Temple Mount for another 19 days, until it too fell on the 7th of Av. The Beit HaMikdash, the Holy Temple, was torched late on Av 9. Thus the “Three Weeks” begins with a fast on the 17th of Tammuz and concludes with a full day (25-hour) fast on the Ninth of Av. During this period, we do not celebrate weddings and in general hold no festivities.This year, both fasts are delayed by a day so as not to interfere with Shabbat observances.
The nine days OF MOUrninGWhile the mourning period begins on
Tammuz 17, it intensifies when the month of Av enters. From the First of Av until after the Ninth of Av (excluding Shabbat), we refrain from consuming meat or wine and from various pleasurable activities as a sign of additional mourning.
Tish’a b’aV – The ninTh OF aVThe Ninth of Av has been a sad day on the Jewish calendar from the earliest days of our history as a people. Just one year after our forefathers left Egypt, it was on this date that G-d punished that generation, decree-ing that they would wander the desert for forty years, never entering into the Holy Land. Much more recently, World War I began on Av 9. The focus of our mourning, however, is on the destruction on this date of both the first Temple (422 BCE) and the second Temple (68 CE). The observances of the fast of Tish’a B’Av are similar to those of Yom Kippur. These include refraining from any food or drink, wearing leather shoes, washing or showering, anointing oneself with oils or lotions, and from marital rela-tions. Additionally, on the eve of the fast, the scroll of Eichah (Lamentations) is read in the synagogue in a unique chant, melancholy yet reassuring. Until noon we sit on low seats only, as a mourner does during Shiva.May we merit seeing the ultimate re-demption and rebuilding of the Temple by Moshiach, now!

aV 15
The Mishnah (Tractate Ta’anit) recounts: “There were no greater holidays for the Jewish people than that of the 15th of Av and of Yom Kippur.” Several joyful events have occurred on this date, including the end of the 40-year decree upon the Jewish people to wander and die in the desert after leaving Egypt. This date is particularly joyful as it occurs just as we conclude the mourning period over the destruction of the Temple.
elUl
The month of Elul, the last of the Jewish calendar, is the time to reflect on our actions of the passing year, and to find ways to correct any shortcomings. In synagogues around the world, extra prayers are recited daily and the Shofar is sounded every weekday.
TeFillinTefillin, or phylacteries, are donned every weekday by Jewish men and boys over the age of 13. The Torah describes Tefillin as a sign, a public statement of Jewish involvement. By donning Tefillin daily, an individual gives expression to his basic feeling of Jewish identity and its importance to him.
The Tefillin are placed on the arm facing the heart, and on the head. This signifies the binding of one’s emotional and intellectual powers to the service of G-d. The straps, stretching from the arm to the hand and from the head to the legs, signify the transmission of intellectual and emotional energy to the hands and feet, symbolizing deed and action.

elUl 18Known as Chai Elul, the “life” of Elul. Birthday of Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov (1698), founder of the Chassidic movement, and of Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi (1745), founder of the Chabad movement.
elUl 21-22After midnight, we recite Selichot (special penitential prayers). We continue doing so every weekday morning until the eve of Rosh Hashanah.
elUl 25According to Jewish tradition, this was the first of the Six Days of Creation. Rosh Hashana is celebrated on day six, when Adam & Eve were created.
rOsh hashanah
Rosh Hashanah (literally, the “head” of the year) is the beginning of the Jewish year – and the “birthday” of all of creation. It commemorates the creation of Adam and Eve, the first humans. On the day he was created, Adam acknowledged G-d’s kingship over the entire universe. Each
Rosh Hashanah, we reaffirm this with our renewed commitment to G-d and His commandments.
The shOFar
The sounding of the Shofar (the ram’s horn) is a central observance of Rosh Hashanah. The Shofar calls many things to mind: It symbolizes our coronation of G-d as King, it is a “wake up call” to return to G-d, and it presages the coming of Moshiach, whose arrival will be heralded by the “Great Shofar”.One who missed the Shofar in synagogue should make sure to hear at least the thirty prescribed Shofar sounds before the end of the day.
yOM KiPPUr
Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. On this day, we acknowledge and regret our past sins and resolve to improve in the future. In return, G-d promises us forgiveness. This day is one of spiritual cleansing; we refrain from working, eating and drinking, washing, anointing with oils or lotions, marital relations and wearing leather shoes.
