Jewish Art Calendar 5778ה‘תשע“ח • 2018–2017 ב"ה JEWISH ART CALENDAR 5778ה‘תשע“ח • 2018–2017 Elul 5777—Tishrei 5778 אלול ה‘תשע“ז–תשרי ה‘תשע“ח SEPTEMBER 2017 THE MONTH OF ELUL Last month in the Jewish year, Elul is a time of introspection and self-examination in preparation for the coming new year. It is customary to blow Shofar after morning prayers (except Shabbat) to remind us of approaching days of judgment--Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. ELUL 12 Birthday of RaMBaN, Rabbi Moshe ben Nachman (1194-1270), renowned Talmudic and Biblical commentator, Halachist, Kabbalist, teacher and leader of Spanish Jewry--one of the greatest minds Jewry has produced. Forced to debate with a Jewish apostate and Dominican friar in front of the King, he eminently succeeded in rebutting all arguments and was rewarded by the King. But he was forced to leave Spain for the land of Israel, where he revitalized the defunct Jewish community of Jerusalem and passed away there. ELUL 18 Birthday of Rabbi Yisroel Baal Shem Tov, founder of Chassidism, renowned for his love of every Jew. Birthday of Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, founder of Chabad intellectual branch of Chassidism. ELUL 25 First day of Creation, according to one Talmudic opinion.

Included as well are overviews of those exhibitions for which no guidebook was published, based on contemporary reports, reviews and photographs. The total number of exhibitions held by the Library has been 14 – on a variety of subjects. In 2010 (5769), in conjunction with the exhibition entitled "Treasures from the Chabad Library" (Exhibition 11), the Library published an album volume entitled "Treasures from the Chabad Library," featuring 154 special items from the Library’s archives.

    Chabad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedivisiteda on 1/6/2015 Page 1 of 12 Chabad From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Chabad, also known as Habad, Lubavitch, and Chabad-Lubavitch,[1] is a Orthodox Jewish, Hasidic movement. Chabad is today one of the world's best known Hasidic movements and is well known for its outreach. Organizationally, it is the largest Jewish religious organization in the world.[2][3] ,Wisdom" :( המכח , הניב , תעד ) is a Hebrew acronym for Chochmah, Binah, Da'at ( בח "ד :Founded in 1755 by Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, the name "Chabad" (Hebrew Understanding, and Knowledge" which represent the intellectual underpinnings of the movement.[4][5] The name "Lubavitch" is the Yiddish name for the originally Belorussian village Lyubavichi where the movement's leaders lived for over 100 years. The Chabad movement represents an intellectual-mystical school of thought established and led by a dynasty of Hasidic rebbes. The movement was based in Lyubavichi (Lubavitch) for over a century, then briefly centered in the cities of Rostov-on-Don, Riga, and Warsaw. From 1940[6] until the present day, the movement's center has been in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn.[7][8] In 1950, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson became the seventh and last Rebbe of Chabad-Lubavitch, and transformed it from a small hasidic movement, into the largest Jewish movement in the world today. He established a network of more than 3,600 institutions that provide religious, social and humanitarian needs in over 1,000 cities, spanning 80 countries and 49 of the 50 American states.[9][10][11][12][13][14] Chabad institutions provide outreach to unaffiliated Jews, and humanitarian aid, as well as religious, cultural and educational activities at Chabad run community centers, synagogues, schools, camps, and soup kitchens.

  • It's Only Natural a Myth Debunked
    The World of Lubavitch A publication of Chabad-Lubavitch, Toronto SPRING 2014 Vol. 39 No. 1 (141) PESACH 5774 It’s Only Natural A Myth Debunked By Yanki Tauber Pundits love generalizations. Half the world is this, the other half is that, and that explains just about everything. Here, then, is our own generalization: the world consists of pagans and transcendentalists. Pagans eat, drink and sleep; transcendentalists work for world peace. Pagans believe that the way things are is the way things should be; transcendentalists believe that we were placed on this earth to change the way things are. Pagans worship nature; tran- scendentalists worship G-d. The Egyptians were pagans, the Hebrews were transcendentalists. The Hebrews were slaves to the Egyptians; then G-d intervened, humiliated the Egyptians, freed the Hebrews and set them loose upon the world. This, in 30 words (more or less), is the story of the birth of the Jewish people. Thus we read of ten plagues visited upon the Egyp- tians. These are usually understood as punishments for their cruel treatment of the Jews. But a closer reading of the Torah’s account reveals that they also served a more basic function: to discredit the gods of Egypt so that “you shall know that I am G-d.” The Nile -- Egypt’s source of sustenance and most revered deity -- turns to blood; the soil turns to ver- min, the skies rain a lethal deluge of fire and ice, the light of day turns to inky blackness. Nature is transformed from a nurturing mother into a capri- Twins From France to Perform cious witch.

  • Not for Perks and Benefits New Torah to Honour Stalwarts
    The World of Lubavitch A publication of Chabad-Lubavitch, Toronto SEPTEMBER 2018 Vol. 44 No. 2 (150) TISHREI 5779 Not For Perks And Benefits Chabad moved to Iceland earleir this year, marking the 100th country/territory exposed to Chabad’s reach. Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky, Chairman of Chabad-Lubavitch Educational/Social Services, describes the motivation be- hind establishing centers all over the world. And you shall be gathered one by one, children of Is- rael (Isaiah 27:12) With the opening of Chabad in the 100th country/ter- ritory and now in ever smaller communities, the idea of a future in which no individual among our people is lost, resonates anew. It is astounding to anyone paying attention that, in 2018, new Chabad Houses open at a steady rate. That this is the case now, after all of the major cities and towns around the world are already well served by Chabad rep- resentatives, so that new appointees must travel farther afield, sometimes to places very remote, is more astound- ing yet. Add to this that the men and women who vie for the privilege of lifetime appointments as the Rebbe’s shluchim have never met him (most were born around the time of his passing almost twenty-four years ago)—and the as- tonishment grows. And if that isn’t enough, there are no compensation packages with benefits and perks awaiting the Rebbe’s emissaries. Still, they strive to join the ranks of those who live to realize the promise of the prophet. The challenges are often formidable. Many of the com- munities that Chabad’s young men and women—usually newlyweds starting their own families—relocate to, have tiny populations, and even tinier Jewish numbers.

In the 1930s, the sixth Rebbe of Chabad, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, moved the center of the Chabad movement from Russia to Poland. After the outbreak of World War II, he moved the center of the movement to the United States. In 1951, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson formally accepted the leadership as the seventh Chabad Rebbe. He transformed the movement into one of the most widespread Jewish movements in the world today. Under his leadership, Chabad established a large network of institutions that seek to satisfy religious, social and humanitarian needs across the world.[7] Chabad institutions provide outreach to unaffiliated Jews and humanitarian aid, as well as religious, cultural and educational activities. Unlike most ultra-Orthodox groups, which are self-segregating, Chabad operates mainly in the wider world and caters to secularized Jews.
