The Rosh Chodesh Planner Was Designed to Serve As a Resource for Shluchos When Planning Women's Programs. Many Years Ago, When
בס"ד PREFACE The Rosh Chodesh Planner was designed to serve as a resource for shluchos when planning women’s programs. Many years ago, when one of the first shluchim arrived in Pittsburgh, PA, prepared to combat the assimilation of America through hafotzas hamayonos, one of the directives of the Rebbe to the shlucha was that it did not suffice for her to only become involved in her husband’s endeavors, but that she should become involved in her own areas of activities as well. Throughout the years of his nesiyus, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Nesi Dorenu, appreciated and valued the influential role the woman plays as the akeres habayis. This is evident in the many sichos which the Rebbe dedicated specifically to Jewish women and girls worldwide. Involved women are catalysts for involved families and involved communities. Shluchos, therefore, have always dedicated themselves towards reaching a broad spectrum of Jewish women from many affiliations, professions and interests. Programs become educational vehicles, provide networking and outreach opportunities for the participants, and draw them closer in their unified quest for a better and more meaningful tomorrow. Many shluchos have incorporated a schedule of gathering on a monthly basis. Brochures are mailed out at the onset of the year containing the year’s schedule at a glance. Any major event(s) are incorporated as well. This system offers the community an organized and well-planned view of the year’s events. It lets them know what to expect and gives them the ability to plan ahead. In the z’chus of all the positive accomplishments that have been and are continuously generated from women’s programs, may we be worthy of the immediate and complete Geulah. -

The Tragedy of Chabad-Lubavitch Responding to the Unthinkable
The Tragedy of Chabad-Lubavitch Responding to the Unthinkable While there’s been a great deal written concerning the acceptability of some beliefs held by some members of the Chabad community, I think it’s worthwhile examining the rhetorical strength of their actual claims. It seems to me that there are four main classes of belief that distinguish Chabad Jews from mainstream orthodox Judaism. While not all Chabad members will agree to all four, there are many who feel that these classes represent the core claims of modern Chabad (Click here for selected background sources). w that Rabbi Schneerson was the greatest Torah scholar and righteous man of his generation (nasi hador) and perhaps of all generations, a prophet (navi) and infallible. w that Rabbi Schneerson was (or is) the Jewish messiah. w that a Chassidic rebbe can nullify himself before God to the point where he becomes “indistinguishable from Him.” Many Chabad Chassidim believe that Rabbi Schneerson was such a man (and therefore is alive, divine, all-knowing, all-powerful and worthy of our prayers). w that Chabad Chassidism is the only completely authentic branch of Judaism and that all Jews are obligated to study and live by the tenets of the Chabad movement. Put in their own language: any Jew who doesn’t learn Toras Chabad (i.e., who doesn’t live and study the principles and curriculum of Chabad Chassidism as manifested by the teachings of their grand rabbis and especially Rabbi M. Schneerson) is holding back the redemption – God’s ultimate goal for all creation. Now, let us approach these claims as honest and open-minded skeptics. -

Likkutei Sichos - Mishpatim
ב"ה Likkutei Sichos - Mishpatim Three Interpretations; Three Categories of Mitzvos On the verse:1 “These are the judgments which you shall place before them,” our Sages and ”.translated as “before them , לפניהם Rabbis offer several interpretations of the Hebrew a) Judgments must be passed “before them,” i.e., a dispute between Jews must be settled before Jewish judges who rule according to Torah law, and not before gentile magistrates. Even when the secular law is no different than that of the Torah, litigation must be brought before a Rabbinic court. ,which has several meanings ,פנים ,shares a connection with the Hebrew word לפניהם (b including “inner dimensions.” In this context, the verse instructs us that when teaching a student these judgments, one should expose him to their inner meaning. He should not be taught the laws as a dry canon, but should be shown the motivating principle behind them. Moreover, instead of telling a student: “This is the law. Discover the motivating principle yourself,” the concepts should be taught in a manner which sits well within the student’s understanding. c) The Alter Rebbe explains4 that “inner dimensions” refers to the student. The Torah’s judgments are Divine knowledge, and this knowledge must be implanted in the inner dimensions of a Jew’s soul. Within our spiritual makeup, we have a number of different levels, some revealed and some hidden. The Torah must permeate even the most hidden of our spiritual potentials. Like all concepts in Chassidus, the above is also alluded to in Nigleh, the revealed dimensions of Torah law. -
