"Love you fellow Jew as yourself". This famous quote is from this week's Torah portion at such an appropriate time of year and when loving kindness is being shared across the world.
- The outpouring of love going on in far flung Nepal, where the Shluchim Rabbi & Mrs. Lifshitz are literally saving lives while their children have been sent to safety in Israel, is simply breathtaking. As we learned tonight in Tanya, end of Igeres Hakodesh chapter 10, unbridled care for others, creates Hashem's unbridled care for his people. See the many stories coming out of the area, with pictures, video and how you can

- Sunday, May 3, is Pesach Sheni, a day when Hashem's love is so strong He gives us a second chance. #eatmatzah
- Wednesday night, May 6, is Lag B'omer. "Love", in a word, is the story of Lag BaOmer—the story of Rabbi Akiva and his greatest disciple, Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai. Rabbi Akiva is the the one who taught that “‘Love your fellow as yourself’ is a cardinal principle in the Torah”; indeed, this is the most famous of his teachings. Excited to announce that the group Let Them Drum is joining us around the fire on Wed night!! They'll lead us in an African Drum Circle and teach us how to drum authentic African Beats.
