  • The Rosh Chodesh Planner Was Designed to Serve As a Resource for Shluchos When Planning Women's Programs. Many Years Ago, When
    בס"ד PREFACE The Rosh Chodesh Planner was designed to serve as a resource for shluchos when planning women’s programs. Many years ago, when one of the first shluchim arrived in Pittsburgh, PA, prepared to combat the assimilation of America through hafotzas hamayonos, one of the directives of the Rebbe to the shlucha was that it did not suffice for her to only become involved in her husband’s endeavors, but that she should become involved in her own areas of activities as well. Throughout the years of his nesiyus, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Nesi Dorenu, appreciated and valued the influential role the woman plays as the akeres habayis. This is evident in the many sichos which the Rebbe dedicated specifically to Jewish women and girls worldwide. Involved women are catalysts for involved families and involved communities. Shluchos, therefore, have always dedicated themselves towards reaching a broad spectrum of Jewish women from many affiliations, professions and interests. Programs become educational vehicles, provide networking and outreach opportunities for the participants, and draw them closer in their unified quest for a better and more meaningful tomorrow. Many shluchos have incorporated a schedule of gathering on a monthly basis. Brochures are mailed out at the onset of the year containing the year’s schedule at a glance. Any major event(s) are incorporated as well. This system offers the community an organized and well-planned view of the year’s events. It lets them know what to expect and gives them the ability to plan ahead. In the z’chus of all the positive accomplishments that have been and are continuously generated from women’s programs, may we be worthy of the immediate and complete Geulah.

  • Tina Hamrin-Dahl
    TINA HAmrin-DAHL This-Worldly and Other-Worldly A Holocaust pilgrimage Pilgrims and the Holocaust Częstochowa is a town known for a shrine to the Black Madonna and every year millions of pilgrims from all over the world come to this Virgin Mary town in south-west Poland. My story is about another kind of pilgrimage, which in a sense is connected to the course of events which occurred in Częstochowa on 22 September 1942. In the morning, the German Captain Degenhardt lined up around 8,000 Jews and commanded them to step either to the left or to the right. This efficient judge from the police force in Leipzig was rapid in his deci- sions and he thus settled the destinies of thousands of people.1 After the Polish Defensive War of 1939, the town (renamed Tschenstochau) had been occupied by Nazi Germany, and incorporated into the General Government. The Nazis marched into Częstochowa on Sunday, 3 September 1939, two days after they invaded Poland. The next day, which became known as Bloody Monday, approximately 150 Jews were shot dead by the Germans. On 9 April 1941, a ghetto for Jews was created. During World War II about 45,000 of the Częstochowa Jews were killed by the Germans; almost the entire Jewish community living there. The late Swedish Professor of Oncology, Jerzy Einhorn (1925–2000), lived in the borderhouse Aleja 14, and heard of the terrible horrors; a ghastliness that was elucidated and concretized by all the stories told around him (Einhorn 2006: 186–9). Jerzy Einhorn survived the ghetto, but was detained at the Hasag-Palcery concentration camp between June 1943 and January 1945.

Knowing that G-d is everything, you may wish to reject all that the ‘world’ stands for. Since everything is emptiness and vanities, you may deny yourself even necessities, living far and removed from the banalities of mankind, engaging only in the truths of the spirit, running from the confines of physical, mundane life. This is the easier path. On the other hand, knowing than within each thing G-d can be found, you may be inspired to refine and elevate our world, struggling with all its facets to find their true purpose, seizing every opportunity to coax out a little more of the world’s inherent good, living a spiritual life by using physical things in an enlightened way. Both paths are true paths, and great sages have tread them both. But the second, more difficult one, is the one we will all have the most benefit from, especially today.

    Chabad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedivisiteda on 1/6/2015 Page 1 of 12 Chabad From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Chabad, also known as Habad, Lubavitch, and Chabad-Lubavitch,[1] is a Orthodox Jewish, Hasidic movement. 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.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-19163-0 - The Visual Culture of Chabad Maya Balakirsky Katz Excerpt More information Introduction Illuminating Hasidism The Hasidic image fascinates. Perhaps more than any other images purport- ing to represent prewar Jewish life, photographer Roman Vishniac’s work for Jewish relief organizations in the 1930s, published under the telling title A Vanished World, supplied American audiences with their quintessential images of Eastern European Hasidim.1 Vishniac’s work, which takes as its subject the waning days of shtetl life in the 1930s, illustrates the tension between the ways Hasidim serve as ethnographic subjects – especially as symbols of the Holo- caust – and the ways they act as producers of their own image. In describing his experience as an ethnographic photographer among ultra-religious Jews, Vishniac emphasized the clandestine nature of his art, reporting the need to keep his camera hidden from his “ultra-Orthodox members of the [Jewish] community, [as] he had to be mindful of the suspicion with which photogra- phers and other ‘image-makers’ were greeted.”2 This oft-quoted musing buoys the raw authenticity of Vishniac’s images, but also reveals a fundament of early-twentieth-century art theory that pinned Jews against Art and that histo- rians Kalman Bland, Steven Fine, and Margaret Olin successfully unraveled in the last decade.3 Despite the exposure of the “artless Jew” as a literary fiction, 1 Jeffrey Shandler charts the complex reception history of Vishniac’s photographs as they pro- gressed from “images of urgency” for relief organizations working on behalf of Eastern European Jewry in the 1930s to “images of doom” in the 1940s to emerge as “images of legacy” after the Holocaust.
