The Most Influential Rabbi in the 20th Century? |

| | ב"ה |
What a beautiful Shavuot this was for our community!
The all night study had us eating dinner together and then reading the 613 commandments. A nice group stayed up until dawn to study more!
The morning services and lunches were uplifting and enjoyable, and the special celebration with the reading of the Ten Commandments and a dairy dinner was just outstanding and very well attended!
Thank you Richard & Carol Lieberman for your enlightening talk and for sponsoring the events. Thank you Kate Braverman, Smanatha Bosquiez, Zevulun Edrei, Joan Grossman, Yaszmina Nedboy and Mussi, Sara and Esther Levertov for preparing everything especially the holiday meals!
Last week, and over the holiday, I mentioned an important book which will be available in stores on Tuesday: "Rebbe:
The Life and Teachings of Menachem M. Schneerson, the Most Influential Rabbi in Modern History"by bestselling author Joseph Telushkin, published by HarperCollins. With the 20th anniversary of the Rebbe's passing just around the corner, interest is mounting and more and more people wish to learn about this amazing individual who inspired our generation and continues to be our guiding light.
Some of you may be unsure if all the talk about the Rebbe and his legacy is warranted, and you may wonder if there's any reason that you should learn about the life of this special individual.
But let me say that I got my hands on an advanced copy of the book, and was blown away! While the author disagrees with the Rebbe on some of the issues he writes about, he pretty much conveys an accurate glimpse into the life of this extraordinary individual. He also gives us information and lessons that we can incorporate into our lives. I recommend that you purchase a copy and find out for yourself. I’m happy to be able to share a special link
with you that will enable you to order it on Amazon with a 30% discount. Hastings at Devargas Mall will be having an event for the book, on Tuesday 5:30. I hope you can join me there.
Then on Wednesday we have the Women's Circle meeting (with Krav Maga by Heather Rider!) and Thursday a special two-part class on some fundamental teachings of the Rebbe, which I'm sure we can all benefit from!
Our heartfelt Mazal Tov to Lief Rosenblatt and Johanna Judah on their wedding! May G-d bless you that you should build an everlasting home together on the foundations of our Torah and mitzvoth!
Happy Birthday to David Albin and Stephen and Jane Hochberg! May G-d bless you with continued long, happy, meaningful lives and may this year be a year of spiritual growth for you!
Happy Anniversary to Bruce and Karen Tobin! Many more happy years together!
I hope to see you tonight and tomorrow! Shabbat Shalom!

| WEEKLY PARSHAH |
Parshat Behaalotecha
Aaron is commanded to raise light in the lamps of the menorah,
and the tribe of Levi is initiated into the service in the Sanctuary.
A “Second Passover” is instituted in response to the petition “ Why
should we be deprived?” by a group of Jews who were unable to bring the Passover offering in its appointed time because they were ritually impure. G‑d instructs Moses on the procedures for Israel’s journeys
and encampments in the desert, and the people journey in
formation from Mount Sinai, where they had been camped for nearly a year.
The people are dissatisfied with their “bread from heaven” (the manna), and demand that Moses supply them with meat.
Moses appoints 70 elders, to whom he imparts of his spirit, to assist him in the burden of governing the people. Miriam
speaks negatively of Moses, and is punished with leprosy; Moses prays for her healing, and the entire community waits seven days for her recovery. |
