We each have a mission, something that drives us and gives meaning to our lives. Living with this awareness adds color to grey, spice to the bland. Discover how we can connect to our purpose as individuals, and as part of our nation. B The Chassidic Personality Test Marshfield, 3rd Floor Mrs. Chaya Epstein Forget Briggs Myers. To get a true glimpse of your personality, it’s time to enter the fascinating work of the sefirot, the ten character traits that form who we are.

What about competing claims to the land? This session takes a compelling look at the complex legal issues surrounding Israel and its capital, Jerusalem. 12:15 p.m. S How to Maximize Your Retreat Experience Monroe, 6th Floor Rabbi Shais Taub How can we stop information from going in one ear and out the other? This rich talk draws on pedagogical principles found in Tanya, which will facilitate taking full advantage of the lessons learned at the Retreat. The goal of Torah learning is not just to encounter it, but to integrate with it and take the lessons with us into our lives. This lecture outlines how. S Seekers of the Lost Ark Wilson, 3rd Floor Rabbi Dovid Flinkenstein Hidden deep in the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is the Ark of the Covenant.

  • My Plastic Pharoah by Tzvi Freeman So Here I Am, Scrubbing out the Crumbs from My Ergonomic Keyboard, Faxing in My Deed of Chametz Sale and Downloading a New Haggadah
    The World of Lubavitch A publication of Chabad-Lubavitch, Toronto APRIL 2017 Vol. 43 No. 1 (147) NISSAN 5777 My Plastic Pharoah By Tzvi Freeman So here I am, scrubbing out the crumbs from my ergonomic keyboard, faxing in my Deed of Chametz Sale and downloading a new Haggadah. In other words, its almost Passover already. I’ll soon be sitting at the Seder table with family and friends and the same question as with every one of these holidays is going to come up: What are we celebrating? What are we all here for? My kids tell me that’s no question: We’re here to celebrate our freedom. That’s what the holiday is called, “The Festival of Our Freedom.” We were slaves in Egypt, now we are free. So let’s get to the meal and celebrate. I’m glad they feel so free. As for me, I’m still a slave and Pharaoh, king of Egypt, never died. I labor for him all week long. He tricked me into it: First, he let me have all these nice things I really wanted for nothing. Later he started demanding money for them. When, one time, I didn’t pay all the money, he demanded even more money. So I have to keep working real hard to give him all the money he demands. I carry a picture of Pharaoh in his present incarnation in my wallet. It has his very intimidating new name engraved on it. He’s called “Master Card.” But my kids don’t go for that.

Second, it is possible to be a Jew and observe traditional practices in everyday life. For Jewish teenagers who may have never been in a room with more than ten other Jews, a weekend like this “changes everything, their outlook on Jewish life and what it means to be a Jew,” said a rabbi serving as spokesman for Chabad headquarters.
