Dear Friends,

Tuesday, June 19, marks the 13th Yartzeit of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. The day of passing of a Tzaddik is an auspicious day to reflect and to ask the Tzaddik to intercede on High on our behalf. It is a special day for prayers to be answered. I will therefore be in New York, together my family and tens of thousands of other people from around the world, to pray at the Rebbe's Ohel, resting place, on this propitious time. As in the past, if you send me your name and mother's name (preferably the Hebrew or Yiddish names), and those of anyone else you would like me to mention, I would be glad to have them in mind as well, while I pray at the Rebbe's Ohel.. If there's a specific need you would like me to pray for, please mention it as well. May all our prayers be fulfilled. The Rebbe enjoyed nothing more than one Jew doing one Mitzvah. Please commemorate his Yartzeit by doing a mitzvah, or good deed, in his memory. 

Now, some Uptown babblings:

  • This Shabbos, Parshas Shlach: Friday Services 7:30 pm, please join us for dinner; just let us know if you can make it. Saturday 10 am followed by Kiddush and the best cholent (and kishke!) this side of the Mississippi.(Candle Lighting 8:03 pm; Shabbos ends: 9:02 pm)
