A Chabad car is an important piece of equipment to be able to transport tons of food from stores, transport even more food & equipment to and from events and make miracles happen for Chabad. When the car sounds like a train taking off (because it it needs a complete rebuild), it can run for a while longer. When the passenger side door won't open, the car has problems. When the car A/C breaks, that is the endof the car's life in Houston. Chanie needs a new car. Contribute to the "Chanie needs a new car Fund" atwww.chabaduptown.org/donate :)

#ThrowbackThursday This week we will take out the "Ponevech Torah" that we dedicated two years ago today (PHOTOS), to read the special section for Parshat Parah, The Red Heifer. It details the laws and process by which a person rendered ritually impure by contact with a dead body was purified. When the Holy Temple stood in Jerusalem, every Jew had to be in a state of ritual purity in time for the bringing of the Passover offering in the Temple. Today, though we're unable to fulfill the Temple-related rituals in practice, we fulfill them spiritually by studying their laws in the Torah. Thus, we study and read the section of Parah in preparation for the upcoming festival of Passover. Links: The Parah reading with commentary; The Calf's Mother.
