Happy New Year! Surprised to hear that greeting from a rabbi? Take a look at psalms 87:6 - “The L-rd counts with the register of the Nations”. Although its not nearly as significant as Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year which is the anniversary of all of creation, it still is valid and appropriate to wish friends a Happy New Year. Besides, in the harsh and unfriendly world that we live in, it never hurts to spread good wishes to those around us. We should only have too much of that. When in doubt, greet a friend...
Here's an excellent New Year's Resolution: Sign up to attend the Judaism 101 course beginning next week at Chabad. It will be given by our very own Rabbi Weinberg and will cover important topics about Judaism including prayer, Mitzvot & Jewish Law, the Jewish life cycle adn more (see below). Join this course to get answers to all your questions in Judaism that you wanted to know to know but were afraid to ask...
Shabbat Shalom!
Rabbi Shalom M. Paltiel

Appreciation

Thank you for being the greatest community!
Last week we made an appeal for help for chabad to get us through a difficult year-end. It is heartwarming how the community responded with last minute gifts to help get us over the hump. Gifts came in, both large and small, each of which is appreciated as each is a sign of community support.
if you have not had a chance yet to support our year-end canpaign pls consider still doing so by clicking the link below. Every gift, large and smnall, matters; many small gifts add up to big numbers; we're all in this together.

What is the Jewish View on Martyrdom? |
| I know that there are religions in which it's a great thing to die for your faith, and doing so makes you a saint or gets you a ticket to paradise. What is the Jewish view? Is a person supposed to die for his beliefs? |

the parshah in a nutshell |

ParshatMikeitz
Joseph's imprisonment finally ends when Pharaoh dreams of seven fat cows that are swallowed up by seven lean cows, and of seven fat ears of grain swallowed by seven lean ears. Joseph interprets the dreams to mean that seven years of plenty will be followed by seven years of hunger, and advises Pharaoh to store grain during the plentiful years. Pharaoh appoints Joseph governor of Egypt. Joseph marries Asenat, daughter of Potiphar, and they have two sons, Menasseh and Ephraim.
Famine spreads throughout the region, and food can be obtained only in Egypt. Ten of Joseph's brothers come to Egypt to purchase grain; the youngest, Benjamin, stays home, for Jacob fears for his safety. Joseph recognizes his brothers, but they do not recognize him; he accuses them of being spies, insists that they bring Benjamin to prove that they are who they say they are, and imprisons Shimon as a hostage. Later, they discover that the money they paid for their provisions has been mysteriously returned to them.
Jacob agrees to send Benjamin only after Judah assumes personal and eternal responsibility for him. This time Joseph receives them kindly, releases Shimon, and invites them to an eventful dinner at his home. But then he plants his silver goblet, purportedly imbued with magic powers, in Benjamin's sack. When the brothers set out for home the next morning they are pursued, searched, and arrested when the goblet is discovered. Joseph offers to set them free and retain only Benjamin as his slave.

The Last War
Some people are waiting for a final, apocalyptic war. But the final war is not fought on battlefields, nor at sea, nor in the skies above. Neither is it a war between leaders or nations. The final war is fought in the heart of each human being, with the armies of his or her deeds in this world.
The final war is the battle of Chanukah and the miracle of light.
From the wisdom of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, of righteous memory; words and condensation by Tzvi Freeman. To order Tzvi's book, "Bringing Heaven Down to Earth, click here.
