    HaRav HaChossid Rabbi Sholmo Aharon Kazarnovsky Memento From the Wedding of Yankele & Frumie Eidelman 10th Day of Tammuz 5781 ב״ה We thankfully acknowledge* the kindness that Hashem has granted us. Due to His great kindness, we merited the merit of the marriage of our children, the groom Yankele and his bride, Frumie. Our thanks and our blessings are extended to the members of our family, our friends, and our associates who came from near and far to join our celebration and bless our children with the blessing of Mazal Tov, that they should be granted lives of good fortune in both material and spiritual matters. As a heartfelt expression of our gratitude to all those participating in our celebration — based on the practice of the Rebbe Rayatz at the wedding of the Rebbe and Rebbetzin of giving out a teshurah — we would like to offer our special gift: a compilation about the great-grandfather of the bride, HaRav .Karzarnovsky ע״ה HaChossid Reb Shlomo Aharon May Hashem who is Good bless you and all the members of Anash, together with all our brethren, the Jewish people, with abundant blessings in both material and spiritual matters, including the greatest blessing, that we proceed from this celebration, “crowned with eternal joy,” to the ultimate celebration, the revelation of Moshiach. May we continue to share in each other’s simchas, and may we go from this simcha to the Ultimate Simcha, the revelation of Moshiach Tzidkeinu, at which time we will once again have the zechus to hear “Torah Chadashah” from the Rebbe.

Teves 9, 5772 January 04, 2012 MILESTONES After Verbal Sparring, Hagee And Yoffie May Meet Email a friend print Guest Book (0) Now that they’ve called each other disrespectful, Rabbi Eric Yoffie and the Rev. John Hagee are ready to meet and discuss their differences—respectfully. The two religious leaders have been squaring off for the past week. Yoffie in a major speech called on Jews to dissociate themselves from Hagee and the organization he founded, Christians United for Israel, asserting that the pastor did not respect other faiths or the right of Israeli leaders to make territorial concessions. Hagee, a San Antonio-based evangelical mega-church leader and arguably the country’s most influential Christian Zionist, fired back in a conference call with reporters. “Rabbi Yoffie’s speech demonstrates not only a lack of respect for me but a troubling lack of respect for the truth,” he said. Hours after Hagee’s media call, however, both men were sounding a more conciliatory note. “I was told he was interested in meeting with me,” said Yoffie, the president of the Union of Reform Judaism, said. “I’d be delighted to sit down and talk to him.” Hagee’s spokesman, Juda Engelmayer, confirmed that the pastor was considering such a meeting. Yoffie’s initial speech and the potential for a rapprochement come as Hagee is working to repel a tidal wave of negative publicity unleashed by his endorsement of U.S.

    Title Ix Policy

    CENTRAL YESHIVA TOMCHEI TMIMIM LUBAVITZ TITLE IX POLICY Central Yeshiva Tomchei Tmimim Lubavitz (hereafter called “Yeshiva”) is committed to maintaining an environment where all students are granted equal access to education based on the federal Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, and subsequent revisions. The latest regulatory update was published as a Final Rule in the Federal Register on May 19, 2020 is effective on August 14, 2020. The Yeshiva will adhere to a strict policy with regard to sexual violence, which includes any form of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking or any other form of sexual misconduct. The Yeshiva has developed a policy to promptly and effectively respond to any incident of sexual violence or sexual misconduct in accordance with the Title IX Final Rule. The Yeshiva takes as a serious responsibility its obligation to address all incidents of sexual misconduct, violence and offensive or inappropriate demeanor that take place in the school’s educational program or activity. Behaviors under the following three categories will be addressed in this policy: • Quid pro quo harassment by a school’s employee • Unwelcome conduct that a reasonable person would find so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it denies a person equal educational access • Instance of sexual assault (as defined in the Clery Act), including dating violence, domestic violence, or stalking as defined in the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) While meeting its legal requirements the Yeshiva strives to go beyond compliance and is dedicated to maintain a supportive environment for victims of abuse and discrimination. As an appendix, the Yeshiva is providing a list of resources and support that are culturally sensitive to Orthodox Jewish victims.

Influenced by the writings of the educator Booker T. Washington, this Jewish philanthropist joined forces with African American communities during the Jim Crow South to build over 5,300 schools during the early part of the 20th century. Inspired by the Jewish ideals of tzedakah (charity) and tikkun olam (repairing the world), and a deep concern over racial inequality in America, Julius Rosenwald used his wealth to become one of America’s most effective philanthropists. Because of his modesty, Rosenwald’s philanthropy and social activism are not well known today. He gave away $62million in his lifetime.
