- This Monday is Yud Shevat, and will mark Sixty Years to the day since our beloved Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson of righteous memory, was asked to assume leadership of the Lubavitch movement on the passing of his father in law and predecessor. On the first Yarzeit of the passing of the previous Rebbe, when the Rebbe finally accepted leadership of the movement, in his "Mission Statement" on that historic day, the Rebbe established the foundation of his vision on three loves; "Ahavat Hasherm" - love of G-d, "Ahavat HaTorah" love of Torah, and central to the three of them - "Ahavat Yisrael" love of your fellow man.
We have been preparing for this special day with an in depth study of the monumental Maamar, - Chassidic discourse - Basi Legani 5710. Although the class was only supposed to last three weeks, by democratic (actually, unanimous) vote it has been determined to continue learning this maamar until conclusion. Please join us for some very thought provoking and introspective study and conversations! No prior knowledge required! - So a 17 year old puts on teffilin on a plane. Everyone freaks out. News everywhere are now talking about teffilin. Nothing make me happier than to see all the news agencies including the Houston Chronicle promoting teffilin! Read about teffilin at www.chabadtexas.org/tefillin. USA Today "The less we know, the more we fear both Muslims and Jews" as if anyone thought he was a Jewish terrorist! They have changed the article title since.... But, hey, if some Jew sees it and is inspired to learn more about teffilin - that is cool!
- Mazel tov to Ohad and Efrat Nezer upon the birth a baby boy, Yaron! May we only share simchos!
