FROM THE MAILBOX: "Dear Rabbi Chaim & Chanie, Thank you very much for the incredible Passover Seder and your hospitality. Warm wishes to you, your children and your congregation".
Thank you all for making Chabad of Uptown the magnificent, warm and welcoming place it is.
Well, the Pesach excursions continued with a visit to Sky Zone - a trampoline walled playing field. It is a child's heaven and costs almost as much as well. We also had a
nice visit to Brazos State
Park - AKA the Alligator Park. Mendel got to ride his new bike as we rode for a few miles and came face to face within inches of a few alligators.... EEK!
The last days of Pesach were uplifting and inspiring as we closed out the holiday with prayer and song. Especially the completion of Pesach with the Seudas Moshiach with four cups of wine, matzah, inspiration, song and more!
This week, was back to reality. Classes are all on schedule, including plans for a wonderful Lag B'omer at Chabad of Uptown and citywide.... See below for more.
Can the world survive on ethics devised by human reason? Well, we tried. It's called the 20th century.
A sword or gun, or fire or water, can affect only the physical body or the soul’s connection to the body, but never the soul itself . . .
