BIG Calendar Jewish Calendar 2010–2011 א ״ תשע 5771SAMPLE CELEBRATING SUKKOT IN JERUSALEM BY NATHAN BRUTSKY— AVIRAM ART GALLERY Rosh Hashanah: September 9–10 Rosh Hashanah celebrates the beginning of creation, when G-d gave breath to human beings. On this day, G-d charged Adam with the responsibility of helping the world reach perfection. Rosh Hashanah, therefore, is a time for us to reflect on the purpose of creation and resolve to make our lives more meaningful by contributing to all of creation. The Shofar: On Rosh Hashanah we hear the sounding of the shofar, the ram’s horn. It is the oldest and most soulful of wind instruments, sounding like a primal outcry from the depth of the soul. The sounding of the shofar has many meanings. It heralds a special occasion, signifying that we proclaim G-d as King of the universe. It’s thrilling blasts awaken us to repent and return to G-d and remind us of the shofar heard at Mount Sinai when we accepted G-d’s commandments for all time. Tashlich: On the first afternoon of Rosh Hashanah it is customary to visit a natural body of water that contains fish. There we cast our sins down the river of SAMPLE time from which they will never return.

It contains the section of the Shema that includes the basic principles of Jewish faith and practice. A mezuzah is placed on the entrances of the home to reflect the holiness of the home that one is about to enter. The decorative case makes the mezuzah more beautiful, but a case without a mezuzah is like the wrapper without the candy. A mezuzah is made in the same manner as the Torah itself: handwritten on sacred parchment in Torah script by an ordained and dedicated scribe who carefully follows the 4649 laws governing its 713 letters and 22 lines. When you purchase a mezuzah for yourself or as a gift, be sure to ascertain its validity. The mezuzah is affixed: 1. On the right door post as one enters the house. 2. In a slanted position with the top pointed toward the inside of the room. SAMPLE 3. In the upper third of the doorpost height. The mezuzah is seen as a special blessing of safety for all who dwell in this particular home, wherever they may be. Since the mezuzah is usually on the outdoor post of the home, exposed to inclement weather conditions and the heat of the sun, it is important to have it checked regularly. ùïëì úùò”à çùåï/ëñìå ◆ November 2010 Cheshvan /Kislev 5771 Kislev molad: Saturday, 6 November 2010, 9:04 PM + 3 Chalakim SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY ë”ã çùåï ë”ã çùåï ë”ä çùåï ë”å çùåï ë”æ çùåï ë”ç çùåï ë”è 1 24 CHESHVAN 2 25 CHESHVAN 3 26 CHESHVAN 4 27 CHESHVAN 5 28 CHESHVAN 6 29 CHESHVAN Toldot ì’ çùåï çùåï ì’ ëñìå à’ ëñìå á’ ëñìå â’ ëñìå ã’ ëñìå ä’ ëñìå å’ 7 30 CHESHVAN 8 1 KISLEV 9 2 KISLEV 10 3 KISLEV 11 4 KISLEV 12 5 KISLEV 13 6 KISLEV Rosh Rosh Vayetzei Chodesh Chodesh Kislev Kislev æ’ ëñìå æ’ ëñìå ç’ ëñìå è’ ëñìå é’ ëñìå é”à ëñìå é”á ëñìå é”â 14 7 KISLEV 15 8 KISLEV 16 9 KISLEV 17 10 KISLEV 18 11 KISLEV 19 12 KISLEV 20 13 KISLEV Vayishlach é”ã ëñìå é”ã ëñìå è”å ëñìå è”æ ëñìå é”æ ëñìå é”ç ëñìå é”è ëñìå ë’ 21 14 KISLEV 22 15 KISLEV 23 16 KISLEV 24 17 KISLEV 25 18 KISLEV 26 19 KISLEV 27 20 KISLEV SAMPLE Vayeshev ë”à ëñìå ë”à ëñìå ë”á ëñìå ë”â OCTOBER DECEMBER 21 KISLEV 22 KISLEV 23 KISLEV S M T W T F S S M T W T F S 28 29 30 1 2 1 2 3 4 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 26 27 28 29 30 31 31 CHANUKAH— A SPIRITUAL BATTLE BY MICHOEL OGINCE Chanukah: December 2–9 Chanukah celebrates the miraculous victory of the Maccabees over the Syrian- Greek armies. When the Jewish nation recaptured the Beit Hamikdash, the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, they found a little jug with just enough oil to light the menorah for one day. Miraculously, the oil burned for eight days until more arrived. To commemorate this miracle, we light the menorah (preferably with olive oil) for the eight days of Chanukah, and we savor traditional foods, such as potato latkes, fried in oil. The Menorah: The lit menorah dramatizes and publicizes the Chanukah miracle. Therefore, we light the menorah at night when it shines brightest (except on Friday, when it is lit before sunset) and we put it in a doorway or window so passersby can share the light of the menorah. All family members should participate in this beautiful ceremony of light. We involve the children by customarily distributing Chanukah gelt. On the eve of the first day of Chanukah we light one candle on the menorah, adding one more candle each The Greeks fought to make Judaism a culture and void of G-dliness. night until eight are lit on the night of SAMPLELighting the menorah is our battle emblem—the victory of light over darkness.

  • 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.

  • Reb Yisroel Duchman Obm
    B"H A glimpse into the life of reb Yisroel Duchman obm 8 Tishrei 5689 - 6 Iyar 5749 Reb Yisroel Duchman FAMILY ROOTS In 5651 (1891), Reb Yisroel's father, Reb Shneur Zalman, was born. Growing up in Homel under the protection/instruction of his grandfather, Reb Mordechai Yoel, Reb Shneur Zalman was able to soak in the joy, energy, and depth of chassidic life, the love and self-sacrifice for all Jews, and a deep sense of hiskashrus, bonding with the Rebbe, that Reb Mordechai Yoel and the Homel community as a whole radiated forth. In 5666 (1906), his parents sent him to Lubavitch to study in Yeshivas Tomchei Temimim, under the guidance of the Rebbe Rashab and the directorship of the Rebbe Rayatz. These were the days of the flowering of the yeshivah, the years in which the students were totally submerged in the sea of Torah and the sea of Chassidus. All that was on their minds was prayer, study, and the Rebbe whose teachings had inspired this unique atmosphere. There Reb Shneur Zalman studied for several years. Afterwards, he married his partner for life Chayah Gruniah Minkowitz, the daughter of Reb Leima Minkowitz, one of the pillars of the chassidic community of Neville. Though Neville had also earned a distinguished place in the annals of Lubavitch history, Reb Shneur Zalman chose to make his home in Homel. There he and Chayah Gruniah took their places as active members of the community, reaching out to others in difficulty (these were the years of World War I and the Bolshevik Revolution, when poverty and tribulations plagued the entire Jewish community), sparking chassidic life in the town, and maintaining their own - and inspiring others to - bond with the Rebbe Rashab and then the Rebbe Rayatz In 5684 (1924), shortly after the Rebbe Rayatz moved the center of the Lubavitch movement from Rostov to Leningrad, Reb Shneur Zalman set up his own home in that city, only a few blocks from the Rebbe's home.

In the letter, he mentioned that he had asked his mashpia for permission to go to college, and that his mashpia had indeed given him the necessary permission. The Rebbe’s answer to the mazkirus was brief. "l'varer me hu hamashpia" (determine who is the mashpia). Upon investigation, the following story emerged. Apparently, the bochur had asked a friend of his to act as his “mashpia,” and had asked this “mashpia” whether he should enroll in college. Evidently, the “mashpia,” not very impressed with this scheme, retorted to the bochur "tu vos du vilst" (go do what you want).
