A Word From the Rabbi

Chabad is on the Go! At Chabad, we’re always looking out for new ways to utilize the latest technology to benefit our congregants and friends. We know you’re busy and with a full schedule to keep track of, it tends to get difficult to keep up with the rapid growth of our Chabad Center and the multitude of programs.

With this in mind, we’re proud to inform you that we’ve launched Chabad on the Go! Never miss another important event, announcement, reminder, funeral, or even a rare cancellation—we’ll text message your cell phone with short reminders of timely info. Rest assured, we’ll only send out occasional messages, not exceeding one text weekly. Be in the know—keep Chabad in your pocket!

Provide us with your cell number and provider (i.e. Verizon) and leave the rest to us. Reply to this email with the info or click here to quickly specify your text preferences.

Chabad—We never stop working for you!

Best wishes for a Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Zalman Wolowik

Question
Is Religion a Crutch?
I think that G‑d is for the weak and the needy. Don't you have the independence to get through life on your own?
 
Inner Dimensions
The Priestly Blessing
The Kohanim remove their shoes and extend their hands, fingers parted and palms stretched outwards; the congregation hide their faces under their prayer shawls. What is the deeper significance of this celestial ritual?
 
Inner Dimensions
Tasting Life's Bitter Waters
You are married, or intensely committed, to a vision, a goal, a dream. Then along comes life.
 
Kids
The Vow
Jono decides to take on a vow of silence, and stop cutting his hair after over-hearing Itche teaching about special vows in the Torah. Hilarity Ensues.

Daily Thought
At The Threshold

At the threshold of the ultimate good, where the highest sparks of G‑dliness lie on the ground before us, nobody bends over to pick them up.

Where the greatest of miracles occur, nobody lifts their eyes to notice. The table is set for a feast, but we are all asleep — and who will wake us from our dreams?

The Parshah In a Nutshell
Parshat Naso

Completing the head-count of the Children of Israel taken in the Sinai Desert, a total of 8,580 Levite men between the ages of 30 and 50 are counted in a tally of those who will be doing the actual work of transporting the Tabernacle.

G‑d communicates to Moses the law of the "Sotah", the wayward wife suspected of unfaithfulness to her husband. Also given is the law of the Nazir who forswears wine, lets his or her hair grow long, and is forbidden to become contaminated through contact with a dead body. Aaron and his descendents the Kohanim are instructed on how to bless the people of Israel.

The leaders of the twelve tribes of Israel each bring their offerings for the inauguration of the altar. Although their gifts are identical, each is brought on a different day and is individually described by the Torah.
