We invite all of the women in our Jewish community to join us for a very special event that features Rhoda Dermer, wife of Ron Dermer, Israel’s Ambassador to the United States, as our special guest speaker. This all transpires Tuesday, February 2, which falls on Shevat 23, the day after the Yahrzeit of, and honouring Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneerson, OBM, our beloved Rebbe’s soul-mate. This year’s unique event is being co-sponsored by Chabad Flamingo and the Jewish National Fund/Keren Kayemet L’Yisrael. A wide range of Jewish women from across our diverse community will be joining together to be encouraged, inspired and empowered. The cover charge to participate in this beautiful Hakhel Dinner event is only $45 per person; attendance is by RSVP only: [email protected]. A resident of Jerusalem, Mrs. Dermer will be joining us from Washington, DC, where she now temporarily lives with her husband, the current Israeli ambassador, and their five young children. They are the first Shomer Shabbat couple ever to hold this position. Mrs. Dermer is an impressive woman in her own right: a brilliant scholar, an articulate speaker and an iconic example of Torah-true femininity. Reserve early, so that you don’t miss this electrifying annual celebration of heroic Jewish femininity before we sell out! For more information you may visit our website. Please look-out for your e-vites that will, please G-d, be arriving in your inboxes on Monday! A Digest of Hakhel Happenings at Chabad Flamingo ~ Where All Ages Are Getting Together! Women Infusing the Hakhel Spirit – All the women of our community are invited for a special Tehillim & Cookies Hakhel get-together this Shabbat afternoon, beginning at 3:15 pm at the home of Tali Elhadad, 494 Highcliffe Drive. Then, on Sunday, January 17, a large women’s only Hakhel gathering will be held at the Bachar home, 11 Markwood Lane. It’s being organized and co-hosted by Barbra Orvitz and Sari Bachar. The event will feature Rebbetzin Esther Zirkind, a noted educator and lecturer who will share her thoughts on “How-to Infuse Ahavat Yisrael into our Everyday Lives.” More information about this exciting exclusively woman’s #unitethenation get-together to follow soon! Micro-Burst Men’s Hakhel – Each Thursday evening, following the Chavruta Program, Rabbi Yossi will lead a brief (less than 15 minute!) Micro- Burst Hakhel Event. Each will include a brief D’var Torah, a few moments of Tefillah L’zechut for those in need of Refuah (healing), and Tzedakah. All the gentlemen of our community are invited to participate in the entire Chavruta, or arrive at precisely 8:20-ish to join this high-octane Hakhel! Boyz In The Hakhel – In addition to Moshe’s Mishna-Hakhel that happens most Shabbat afternoons at Shul, many parents have been helping their children to host regular weekday Hakhel gatherings at their private homes too. The next such event will be hosted by Yoni Kagal and his parents at their home 392 Highcliffe Drive on, Wednesday, January 20, from 6:30 to 7:30 pm. Also, an exciting Father and Kids Hakhel initiative under the leadership of Rabbi Avrumi as well as several dads is also now being planned, so stay tuned for the fresh details to be released next week! You Go Girl! Hakhel – The first Hakhel event for the young girls of our community takes place Sunday, January 24 from 4 to 5 pm at the home of Chana and Esther Engel. We thank their parents for helping to arrange and facilitate this first such #unitethenation get-together for the young girls of our Flamingo community and urge others to follow suit. To start making arrangements to host an event, please contact Rebbetzin Faygie! A Very Special Book Club – Inspired by the Unite for Hakhel ideal, and mindful of the incredibly potent, positive energy G-d endowed to all Jewish women, Annie Sugar warmly invites the ladies of the Flamingo community and beyond to be part of a very special Monthly Tehillim "Book Club." This special Book Club will gather each month at her home to offer praise and thanksgiving to G-d for the blessings we are fortunate enough to enjoy, as well as to beseech heaven on behalf of our brothers and sisters in Eretz Yisrael, and the members of our local community who require divine blessings for healing and long life. At each event we’ll be dividing and reciting psalms the entire Sefer Tehillim together and meaningfully including others in our Kavana (thoughts). Following the recitation of Tehillim at each monthly meeting, we’ll have the opportunity to learn the meaning behind the verses as well as hear from a guest speaker. Please join us in this wonderful Hakhel opportunity to enjoy each other's company, learn a little and do something meaningful for someone in need. Feel free to bring friends as well as the names of anyone in need of Tehillim. This month’s event takes place for Yud Shevat, falling on Wednesday, January 20, and is hosted by Annie at her home, 161 Renaissance Court. Shabbat Mivarchim Shevat - Parshat Vayiera ~ In this Hakhel Year, Growing More United than Ever in Yiddishkeit! A Warm Shabbat Trumps a Cold Winter’s Day – While it’s cold out there, it’s warm in here! This Shabbat has upgraded warmth and energy because it’s Shabbat Mivarchim; so it offers power to draw forth blessings for the entire new Hebrew month of Shevat. It was in this month just 76 years ago that the Global Chabad Lubavitch movement was launched into the modern age with the inauguration of leadership of our beloved Rebbe on Yud Shevat, (Yud = 10th). Five short days later, we’ll all celebrate Tu B’Shevat, (Tu = 15th) the Jewish New Year for Trees, because that’s when winter begins to thaw in our beloved homeland, Israel, and the almond trees on the hillsides around Jerusalem begin to bloom. Certainly, Shevat is a month ripe with spiritual warmth and the power to increase our Yiddishkeit and inspire new growth for Am Yisrael. To help actualize these blessings and successfully harness this energy, we’ll gather at 7 am for our traditional recitation of the entire book of Tehillim, which will be especially dedicated for the merit of our dear Shul members, Akivah Yaakov ben Etel and Arye Leib HaLevy ben Batya, followed by a very special edition of our weekly Chassidic Reader class, Torah Ohr. Following the Congregational Kiddush, everyone is warmly invited to stay for a dynamic, friendly and lively Mivarchim Farbrengen. So, while you’re here in this frosty city, step into our welcoming summery spiritual camp Shul for warm up energy! Youth Redeemed – We welcome all the vacationers back to our popular weekly Shabbat Morning Youth Minyan! Thanks to our Youth Rabbi’s devotion to the children, programming at the Youth Minyan is always creative, new, fun and exciting.
