Mazel Tov to Phyllis & Emet Bargrasser upon the Bat Mitzvah of their daughter, Rebecca. May she be a source of nachas to her family and all of Bnei Yisroel!
This upcoming Sunday celebrates a unique in the Chabad calendar - the fifth of Teves. You can read more about it here.
Next Friday (Dec 17) will be the tenth of Teves - the only fast day that is kept on it day (and not rescheduled) even though it falls on Friday. Mincha and Maariv next Shabbos will therefore be at sunset so we can make kiddush and break our fast as soon as possible. Watch out next week for complete email. More the Asara BTevet here
