    Fantastyiccprogram-Calendar-2018

    a message from the factory ceO This year we have chosen as the theme for our Program Calendar, The FantastYICC Chocolate Factory . One might think that this is a colorful and charming theme; but in truth it is much more. It reflects the Jewish approach to teaching Torah. Every morning we begin the Shacharit service with blessings called Birkhot HaTorah. Among the blessings we declare l,ru , hrcs ,t ubhvkt ‘v tb crgvu – “ Please, Lord our God, make the words of Your Torah sweet in our mouths. ” The 18th century rabbinic thinker and prolific author, Yaakov Emden, noted that this is a pragmatic request. We pray that Torah will be sweet for everyone to enjoy, making it universally desirable among all Jews. A number of years ago, on a visit to our Shul, the President of the Los Angeles Jewish Federation, Jay Sanderson, remarked how impressed he was that children come over to me on Shabbat to receive lollipops. He exclaimed that encouraging children to come to their rabbi for something sweet will guarantee the future of our people. He further ruminated, “We also need lollipops for the adults so that they too will be excited by their Judaism.” It is our hope that in this Program Calendar, filled with exciting and stimulating programs, many of which are appearing for the first time, you will find the sweetness of Torah that will stimulate your thought and expand your Jewish education. It is our intent that our outstanding array of speakers, as well as all our diverse programs, will challenge your mind and engage your heart.

A lot of this information was volunteered in response to the last edition. We thank those who took the effort to provide this information and be mezakeh the Klal in this way. We would like to stress that this is not intended as a comprehensive listing of Kiruv organizations. Only those organizations which have resources directly available to other organizations were included. The list is by no means exhaustive and we certainly did not intend any evaluative innuendoes by the selection of those we included and excluded. In general, we restricted our list to resources located in the USA or serving the USA. In addition, the organizations we did mention were described with an emphasis to their utility value to other organizations rather than a comprehensive description of their activities. There are many local organizations which have programs and other things of value to contribute. Generally, these were left out. We were certainly not able to include all resources here, nor even make an appropriate prioritization. We apologize for all the omissions. If you were left out, please understand and, in case we were not aware of you, please do tell us about yourself and what you have to offer. We will attempt to include some of this information in a subsequent edition.

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.
