I’m excited to share with you that Chabad has been invited back to the Coliseum to perform a pre-Purim celebration as a sequel to the exciting pre-Chanukah Celebration with the NY Islanders. I hope to utilize this opportunity to promote the observance of the Holiday and share its inspiring message with the thousands gathered in the arena.
Please join me in bringing the joy of the holiday to the Islanders Fan on Tuesday, March 18, during their game against the Boston Bruins. You can look forward to an extraordinary evening of celebration, pride and fun with highlights including Purim-themed Thunderstix for the first 5,000 fans, personal Purim guides for all, a captivating Purim message and more.
Special promotional tickets to this historic game are available for purchase at www.IslandersPurim.com. The deeply discounted (30% - 50%) ticket prices are: $54 - Lower Level Seating | $39 - Center Ice Level | $29 - Endzone Level. The game starts at 7pm on Tuesday. Tickets ordered through Chabad will be available at the ‘will call’ window as ‘Chabad group’. For further information, email [email protected] or call Chabad of Port Washington at 516-767-8672, ext. 102.
This exciting event, sponsored by North Shore Motor Group, is the ultimate pre-Purim festivity you don’t want to miss! Chabad would like to show a crowd coming out for this game. This will encourage the Islanders to allow us to do this once again for future holidays. Please purchase as many tickets as you can and join us!
Wishing you a Good Shabbos,
Rabbi Shalom Paltiel

I'm a Failure! |
| In our world of inverted values, a person may have abandoned his third wife, be estranged from his children, have no friends and his dog ran away from him, but he's called "successful" because he makes a lot of money... |

Community, Individuality, and Why It's Frustrating to Have a Brain |
| Vayak'hel and Pekudei: why they are joined (some years), why they are seperated (other years), why Vayak'hel comes first, why Vayak'hel took Pekudei's name and Pekudei took Vayak'hel's, not to mention the fact that both Parshahs appear to be almost entirely superfluous |

Parshat Vayak'hel
Moses assembles the people of Israel and reiterates to them the commandment to observe the Shabbat. He then conveys G‑d's instructions regarding the making of the Mishkan (Tabernacle).
The people donate the required materials in abundance, bringing gold, silver, copper, blue, purple and red-dyed wool, goat hair, spun linen, animal skins, wood, olive oil, herbs and precious stones. Moses has to tell them to stop giving.
A team of wise-hearted artisans make the Mishkan and its furnishings (as detailed in the previous Torah readings of Terumah, Tetzaveh and Ki Tisa): three layers of roof coverings; 48 gold-plated wall panels, and 100 silver foundation sockets; the Parochet (Veil) that separates between the Sanctuary's two chambers and the Masach (Screen) that fronts it; the Ark and its cover with the Cherubim; the Table and its Showbread; the seven-branched Menorah with its specially-prepared oil; and the Golden Altar and the incense burned on it; the Anointing Oil; the outdoor Altar for Burnt Offerings and all its implements; the hangings, posts and foundation sockets for the Courtyard; and the Basin and its pedestal, made out of copper mirrors .
