Wow! What a great celebration of 19 years! The delightful reception set the tone for a wonderful Dinner evening.
Our esteemed honorees - Ben Landa, Richard Kessel, Chaya Teldon and Rabbi Ilan & Devorah Weinberg - all spoke eloquently and briefly and the Rabbi went on and on as usual. The lucky winners of the exciting silent auction and split the pot went home with fabulous prizes and big smiles on their faces!
The honorees and I were touched by all who made the effort to join us at the dinner and truly appreciate the thoughtfulness of the many who submitted tribute listings for the Commemorative Scroll. It's been most encouraging to see that our community and friends value and appreciate the vital work carried out by Chabad.
I would also like to express our overwhelming gratitude to the honorees, Guest of Honor Ben Landa, Dinner Chairman Howard Fensterman and Chabad president Adam Katz for making this dinner a great fundraising success.
Special thanks to: Randye Hubsher, Tami Ruben, Sheryl Pinner, Peggy Klat, Carol Arnold, Shmuly Friedman, Joel Avalarde, Gil from Jewishdj.com for donating the DJ service, Rob Salzbank our legendary photographer for graciously donating his services (see our photos on his website rampagestudios.com or click here), Noam Segal (our fiddler on the roof), and so many others I'm sure I missed.
Wishing you a Shabbat Shalom and I look forward to seeing you in Shul! (Don't miss Lenny's fabulous cholent tomorrow @ shul).
See you at shul on Shabbos.
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Shalom M. Paltiel

Great op-ed by Jonathan Mark regarding the recent book about the Rebbe:
Submitted by Jonathan Mark on Fri, 06/18/2010 - 18:10
Nothing is easier - or more intellectually sloppy - than to take shots at Chabad for believing that the Lubavitcher rebbe is still alive or for thinking that the rebbe is the messiah.
Here, take a look at the official Chabad-Lubavitch website. Go ahead. Here's the link to their section on the rebbe. Find even one reference to the rebbe being alive or the messiah. You won't find it...

The Land of Milk and Honey
By: Rabbi Aron Moss
Sydney, Australia
Our dream to move to Israel is finally becoming reality. We are making aliyah next month. I know it will be challenging. Any advice?
Answer
Israel is unlike any other country in the world. Every other place you could live, as long as you like it there all is fine. But with Israel it isn't enough that you like it there. Israel has to like you too.
Israel is a land with a soul of its own. It is the Holy Land, the place of divine blessing. If Israel finds you worthy, she shares her blessing with you, and no matter how hard life gets there, you will feel at home. But if you are undeserving of her holiness, you won't feel settled there for long.
The move to Israel is called making aliyah, which means "going up." This is not merely because Israel has a higher altitude to its surrounding countries. You need to go up to Israel because Israel is one step closer to heaven than the rest of the world. To reach Israel you need to be going upwards in your spiritual life. It is a land of higher spiritual frequency that has little tolerance for stagnant souls. Only those who are willing to grow can feel at home there.
So along with all the paperwork and preparations for moving, prepare your soul for the journey ahead. Take a step up in your own spirituality by choosing a new mitzvah to observe, and taking on a new project of Torah study. The aliyah ascent begins now, long before you set foot in the Holy Land.
Life in Israel is not always easy. But for a soul on the way up, it really is a land flowing with milk and honey.

the parshah in a nutshell |
 |
|
|
ParshatBalak
Balak, the King of Moab, summons the prophet Balaam to curse the people of Israel. On the way, Balaam is berated by his ass, who sees the angel that G‑d sends to block their way before Balaam does. Three times, from three different vantage points, Balaam attempts to pronounce his curses; each time, blessings issue instead. Balaam also prophecies on the end of the days and the coming of Moshiach.
The people fall prey to the charms of the daughters of Moab and are enticed to worship the idol Peor. When a high-ranking Israelite official publicly takes a Midianite princess into a tent, Pinchas kills them both, stopping the plague raging among the people.
