We hasten to add, however, that complete as this list seems, it is a work perpetually being updated. The very nature of the Chabad movement and its ever-expanding number of institutions precludes the possibility of a completely finalized directory. We are proud of the fact that new schools are founded every year and that keeping pace with the continuously expanding Chabad education world is an almost impossible task. Clearly, compiling this directory required diligence, persistence, and organizational skills and we are grateful to Miss Esther Silberstein for undertaking this project and bringing it to fruition. In spite of the difficulty of keeping pace, we do our best to keep our records current and encourage schools to inform our office as soon as any change occurs.

  • 10 Tips and Meditations for a Post-Harvey Passover
    10 TIPS AND MEDITATIONS for a Post-Harvey Passover By RABBI CHAIM LAZAROFF any waters cannot quench “ the love, nor can rivers flood Mit,” writes King Solomon (Song of Songs, 7:7). On Passover we remember how G-d visited 10 plagues on the Egyptians and saved our ancestors from slavery, including a miraculous trip through raging waters. Our community has seen its fair share of plagues, courtesy of Harvey, and many are still waiting for G-d to help them through the waters that engulfed their homes this past fall. During the Seder, we read from Talmud Pesachim, how in every generation, every Jew is to envision oneself leaving Egypt. Having expe- rienced tragedy on so many levels, the notion of suffering and redemption is all that much more real for all of us. The Passover rituals are not mere actions, to be mechanically performed by rote. Rather, they are keys to the soul, helping us touch the untouchable and imagine the unimaginable. As we prepare for Passover, and commemorate the 10 plagues, I’ve collected 10 tips and medi- tations for a more meaningful Seder in a post- Harvey Houston. 1) “Wheat Since Talmudic times, and perhaps ear- lier, Jews have been collecting money before Passover, to ensure that everyone has what they need to celebrate the Holiday of Freedom in princely style. In ancient times, these funds would help families procure flour with which to bake their own matzah. That’s why they are generally known by the two Hebrew/Aramaic names of maot chitim (wheat money) or kimcha DePischa (Passover flour).
