Dear Friends,

LAG BOMER: This past Saturday night, on Lag Bomer, Chabad of Uptown celebrated  a special Jamming night and BBQ evening together with song and great spirit. A huge thank you to all the volunteers who help setup, cook and cleanup! Chanan, Tanya, Rivital,  Ron, Ady, Moshe, Ariel and Illana were great helping set up and clean up!  On the menu? Roasted marshmallows, hot dogs, hamburgers, warm apple crumble and ice cream bar with all the toppings enjoyed by all. A special thank you to Rabbi Danny Gavin who led the musical havdalah and jamming night (and mazel tov on the recent birth of his son)! 

ISRAEL: In light of the recent back anf forth between Israel and America on the delicate situation in the Middle East, this past Monday Rabbi Chaim was interviewed on the morning show with Lana and JP on 740 KTRH. Click hear to listen.

POLICE: Chabad.org/news ran an internationally syndicated "Talk of the Planet" on the Day of Prayer Rabbi Chaim lead at the HPD headquarters. Story here.

PARSHA thought: It is customary that on the Shabbat before a wedding, the bridegroom is called to the Torah. Shavuot, the festival which coincides with the anniversary of the Giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, represents the marriage of G-d and Israel; this is why the Torah portion of Bamidbar ("in the desert") is usually read on the Shabbat (or like this year, two Shabbats) before Shavuot. More on the parsha at www.ChabadUptown.org/Parsha

SHAVUOT this year is Tuesday-Thursday, June 6-8. Join us for All night Torah Study on Tuesday evening at midnight, 10 Commandments and Dairy Luncheon & Ice Cream Party at 11:30 am on Wednesday and Yizkor on Thursday. For the complete program, candle lighting and service schedule click here. Join 10 Commandments Ice Cream Party on Facebook here.

THIS SHABBOS is Shabbos Mevarchim Sivan, a special Shabbos that will include the recitation of the entire Tehillim and a special Kiddush & Farbrengen following davenning.

BLT: Please join us on this (and now, every) Sunday morning at 9:30 am for BLT! Bagels, Lox and Tefillin! What a great way to start a new week!

I agree that this was likely the oinnepng move. So far sanctions have been little more than something between a tap on the shoulder and a pin prick. In retaliation, Iran threatens to close the strait of Hormuz. Something like this would be akin to a punch to the jaw. Wby is Iran not being condemed or at least questioned in the media about this "dangerous escalation?" I think we know the answer to that.Even the hard core left media is admitting it will not be "if" there is war with Iran it will be "when." What these people can't or won't realize is it will be Iran who initiates it rather than America. While America is geared toward defense, Iran is on offense. As such, the attack will come at a time and place of Iran's choosing. Russia and China may play a hand in the timing. Iranian agents simillar to those in Bangkok are likely already operating in America. When Iran makes its move, they will attack targets in America. Conventional bombs and unconventional weapons perhaps poison gas, dirty bombs, and portable nuclear weapons may be used. The death toll among Amerians may be in the millions. War with Iran is not to be taken lightly. If Mr. Obama thinks he is going to use something like this as an "October surprise" to get reelected, he may have a nasty surprise coming.
