by C. R. Lundy - Chabad Lubavitch

(lubavitch.com) Rosh Hashana is probably the best known and most widely observed Jewish holiday. And, with hundreds of thousands of free seats available and prayer services to meet the needs of people at every level of observance, Chabad has helped make this holiday even more accessible.

The crowds that filter in over the holiday present Chabad rabbis with a unique opportunity to reach out to Jews who might otherwise never step foot in a synagogue. But Rosh Hashanah is not without its challenges, and spiritual leaders know they must provide a meaningful and engaging program whose effects will linger on long after the holiday season over.

Chabad of Cypress, CA

As an analogy for what happens to synagogue attendance over the course of the Jewish calendar year, Rabbi Shmuel Marcus of Cypress, California, points to fluctuating attendance at gyms. “In January the gyms are always full,” says Marcus, “but by March there is a major dip in attendance. Likewise, on Rosh Hashana the synagogue is filled with great intentions: we need to make those resolutions reality.”CONTINUE... .

In memory of Rabbi Gavriel & Rebbetzin Rivkah Holtzberg HYD - Shluchim to Mumbai, India

Concerning the trouble you are having from your neighbor. We see from experience that when these troublemakers are ignored, they minimize their negative actions. The pleasure they got from bothering you will not not be there anymore. To assist you in being able to ignore them, I suggest you study and reflect on Igeres HaKodesh, chapter 25, authored by the Alter Rebbe.
Igros Kodesh, vol 21, P. 343

At a lechaim that took place at the Education Ministry, Education Minister Gideon Saar, his deputy Rabbi Meir Porush, Ministry Director Shimshon Shoshani, and hundreds of department leaders, the head shliach of Lubavitch in Tel Aviv, Rabbi Yosef Gerlitzky, gave the keynote speech.

Rabbi Gerlitzky, a personal friend of Mr. Shoshani, explained the importance of education in recognizing the role of the Creator. “It’s the main job of the Education Ministry to show every Jewish child the natural faith that exists within every Jew,” said Rabbi Gerlitzky.

After the shofar was blown, Rabbi Gerlitzky explained the

At an impressive ceremony in Tel Aviv, senior officers from various IDF units and the Rabbinate appointed Rabbi Shraga Dahan as the chaplain of the IDF planning department, promoting him to the rank of major.

This is the first time for several years that a Chabad Rabbi was promoted in this manner, a change brought about by the new IDF Chief Rabbi, Rabbi Rafi Peretz.

During the ceremony, Rabbi Peretz cited Rabbi Dahan’s work as commander of the army chaplaincy course during the past year, which included a visit to 770 in Kfar Chabad as part of studies on the value of shlichus.

At the end of the ceremony, Rabbi Dahan spoke about the importance of this time of the year and blew the shofar.

Rabbi Dahan also runs a forum providing hundreds of answers to halachic questions sent to the IDF Rabbinate by regular soldiers.

Do not think that the Messianic King will have to perform signs and wonders and bring about novel things in the world, to resurrect the dead, and other such things. It is not so...[Whoever adds or diminishes anything, or interprets the Torah to change the plain sense of the commandments, is surely an imposter, wicked, and a heretic.] (Chapter 11 of Maimonides' Laws Concerning Kings in Mishne Torah.

by Maayana Miskin and Elad Benari - Arutz-7

(Israelnationalnews.com) Terrorists wounded an Israeli girl, a resident of Har Bracha, on Thursday night in a rock attack near the Tapuach junction in Samaria.

According to reports, the girl was travelling with her parents in the family vehicle when Arabs threw stones towards the vehicle near Kfar Haras. The girl was hit in the head by a heavy stone in the attack. Her parents continued to drive until the Tapuach junction where she was given initial treatment.

The victim was taken to the Schneider Children's Hospital in Petach Tikvah. Her condition was defined as moderate, meaning that doctors do not currently fear for her life but that there is a risk of permanent handicap.

IDF soldiers are searching for the perpetrators.

Earlier in the evening an Israeli man reported that terrorists fired on his car as he drove near the town of Ofra, north of Jerusalem. IDF soldiers investigated and said the sounds the man heard were caused by fireworks, not gunshots.

The Thursday night rock attack took place shortly after Jewish civilian residents of Judea and Samaria began patrolling local roads as part of a campaign to improve safety. .

A poster was hung on all the polls and circulated all over the neighborhood announcing a public forum to "meet the Rabbonim." The impression given is that this is a neutral event that is sponsored by the election committee which is responsible for all the public activities relating to the elections, similar to the previous two elections held for the Vaad Hakohol only two months ago.

We hereby declare that this event is officially canceled.

There was a meeting held by the election committee, and we voted this idea down for two reasons: 1) Such a forum for an election for a Rav in our Kehila degrades the honor of the position of a Rav, while it will serve no purpose in helping the voter decide on who to vote for. Rabbonim must come recommended by other Rabbonim and you decide whom you trust and vote accordingly. 2) There is a Sicha of the Rebbe where the Rebbe states clearly, that to decide who qualifies to be a candidate for Rabbonus belongs to Rabbonim Gedolei Torah only, and it is unheard of that Baalei Batim should mix into the process of selecting the candidates (Matos Masei, 5746).

To have Rabbonim paraded in a campaign similar to the town dog-catcher before an election is the antithesis to what Torah and respect for Talmidei Chachomim demands from us. Even the candidates who may end up losing the election, still remain to be Rabbonim and they are certainly Talmidei Chachomim who should be treated as such.

Therefore this whole idea of a public forum at which the candidates for Rabbonus should model themselves as beauty queens on stage asking for our vote, is in bad taste to put it mildly. To add insult to injury, Rabbi Moishe Bogomilsky Shlita was called by Rabbi Eli Cohen, Executive Director of the CHJCC, to invite him in the name of the election committee, to attend this event. When rabbi Bogomilsky asked who is organizing this event, Eli told him it was the election committee headed by Yisruli Sandhaus. When asked by Rabbi Bogomilsky and what about the other members, do they agree? He replied, I'll get back to you.

At which point Rabbi Bogomilsky said, that he feels that such an event Past Nisht and is not respectable for a Rabbonim election, and therefore he will not attend such an event. So how are we to relate to posters announcing so innocently that this event is a "meet the Rabbonim" forum, which will include no less than Rabbi Bogomilsky who clearly said that he will not participate? And to rub the salt into the wound, his blaring picture adorns the poster!

This process smacks of total disrespect to Rabbonim. Period.

If any candidate or his supporters wish to sponsor an event to meet their candidate, good for them, just announce it as such. But if you plaster the neighborhood with posters, that all candidates will attend, while knowing that some will not, smacks of an evil plan.

Imagine the entire neighborhood coming to the event to meet all the candidates and one of them doesn't show up? How will it reflect on that Rav? How will the innocent bystander judge this person unbeknown to him that the invitation was a fraud?

Therefore, we as members of the election committee declare that this event was advertised as a fraud, and is hereby officially canceled.

We ask all G-d fearing Jews not to attend this event if the imposter sponsors don't cancel this event on their own.

If you want to meet any candidate they are very accessible, and some of them have their supporters organize for them events on a daily basis and you can find them there as you wish.

Rabbi Bogomilsky is always available to speak to in his office, and in Shul three times a day and you can talk to him in a respectful setting and dignified manner at your convenience.

Just don’t forget to vote this Sunday, 26th of Elul, 8:30 am – 10:00 pm in the basement of the Rebbe’s Shul – 770.

Yaakov Tzvi Sufrin
