A word from the Rabbi



At risk of beating this thing to a fault, I want to make one last “pitch” for our Jewish New Year calendar campaign. As you can imagine, the calendar campaign is not Chabad’s biggest fundraiser of the year by a long shot. However, it has special meaning because it brings our entire community together as all our names are listed right there on the calendar. If you haven't yet participated, please take a few moments to sign up by clicking here.

In addition to listing your family’s name, please consider having each of your family members’ birthday and perhaps wedding anniversary appear on the actual date in the calendar. This way, we can all celebrate with you on your special dates.

Shabbat Shalom,

Rabbi Shalom M. Paltiel

From the Desk of our Head Counselor, Etti

Can you believe we have finished 4 awesome weeks of camp already?!? Time is flying by so fast because we are having so much fun!!!

This week we focused on our Brachos. Each day we learned and practiced one or two Brachos that we make on our foods before we eat. We have to thank Hashem for yummy food we're going to eat.

Monday we started with the Brachos we make on cakes, cookies and most drinks: Mezonos and Shehakol. We gave out yummy cookies and juice for snack so we can learn the Brachos on some fun food. We went to jump in the nice cool pool. We figured out that the water we were swimming in was also the Bracha Shehakol; only if we would drink it :) We continued our day with my day my way and some of the children chose the group of making chocolate edible birds nests. These were very cute and of course ... CONTINUE

the parshah in a nutshell
ParshatMatot

Moses conveys the laws governing the annulment of vows to the heads of the tribes of Israel.

War is waged against Midian for their role in plotting the moral destruction of Israel, and the Torah gives a detailed account of the war spoils and how they were allocated amongst the people, the warriors, the Levites and the High Priest.

The tribes of Reuben and Gad (later joined by half of the tribe of Menasseh) ask for the lands east of the Jordan as their portion in the Promised Land, these being prime pastureland for their cattle. Moses is initially angered by the request, but subsequently agrees on the condition that they first join, and lead, in Israel's conquest of the lands west of the Jordan.

 

 
Daily Thought
Moses Inside

In each one glows a spark of Moses. He is our teacher. A teacher's job is to open a small window for the inner knowledge to pour down into the conscious mind.

How do you awaken Moses? By waking yourself.

How do you awaken yourself? By finding someone in whom Moses is awake.

Only the awakened can waken others.
