This Shabbos we are joining tens of thousands of Jews from all across the globe who will join together to eat, drink, and celebrate a Shabbat dedicated to the future Redemption... everyone is invited! Our Sages teachus that Shabbat is a Taste of the World to Come: "In that time there will be no hunger or war, no jealousy or rivalry. For the good will be plentiful, and all delicacies available as dust. The entire occupation of the world will be only to know G-d." So do the prophets and sages of Israel describe the Age of Redemption -- the "seventh millennium" that will constitute the realization and fulfillment of six millennia of human history and endeavor to make this world a "home for G-d." Shabbat is our weekly taste of this future world. More at www.chabaduptown.org/oneshabbat
This Shabbos also marks 60 years since the 10th of Shevat 5711 (1951) when the Rebbe officially assumed the mantle of leadership of the Chabad Lubavitch movement. A special farbrengen will be held to commemorate this day.
This Shabbos is also called the "Shabbos of Song", since this week's Torah reading contains the "song at the sea" sung by the Children of Israel upon their deliverance from the Egyptians, when the Red Sea split to allow them to pass and then drowned their pursuers. Hence this Shabbat is designated as Shabbat Shirah, "Shabbat of song." Our sages tell us that the birds in the sky joined our ancestors in their singing; for this reason it is customary to put out food for the birds for this Shabbat (to avoid the possibility of transgressing the laws of Shabbat, the food should be put out before Shabbat).
