Author of the acclaimed book “Why Marry Jewish?”

“I am not religious; is it rational for religion to be a factor in my choice of soul-mate?”

“I just want to know one thing: beyond the paranoia,
aside from the ‘parent factor’, forget the rabbis, is there
one good reason to date or not date Jewish?”

A Jewish response to Christian Missionaries - by Tovia Singer, founder and Director of Outreach Judaism, a national organization dedicated to countering the efforts of Christian groups and cults who target Jews for conversion.

]]> Mon, 10 Nov 2008 12:10:23 GMT Talmudic Ethics - A Course by the Jewish Learning Institute http://www.chabadchevra.com/blog.asp Talmudic Ethics: Finding Your Way to Good Decisions

Wednesdays, November 19, December 3 & December 10 7:30pm @ GSU Room 333

Sooner or later, it happens to almost everyone. You face a tough ethical decision, and you have to pick a course of action that will let you live with yourself. You feel like you are lost in a maze of possibilities, unsure which courses of action will lead you out of your turmoil, and which will leave you in a end of regret and self-recrimination.

Traditionally, Jews have looked to the Talmud to help them unravel tangled instincts. Because the Talmud recognizes that ethics is complex, subtle, and multi-valenced. It knows that complicated questions cannot be answered with a simple yes or no. And it offers discussion and perspective to help you make sense of life's most wrenching dilemmas.

In this course, you will tackle big issues like abortion, euthanasia, freedom of expression, and fair business practice. You will learn how the best Jewish minds struggled with hard choices for thousands of years, and trace their search for satisfying resolutions. And you will discover how Judaism offers a moral compass to help you find direction through the labyrinth of life.

We can't promise to provide you with all the answers. But we guarantee to give you a new way to think about the questions.

The young couple, Rabbi Gavriel and Rivka Holtzberg o.b.m., traveled far from their homes and communities. They journeyed to Mumbai not for themselves but for the sake of others. They came to create a home and center of Jewish life for those Jews who live or travel to this corner of the world.

Running a Chabad House anywhere is a difficult task for any young rabbi and wife, especially in a place like India, far from every Jewish community. It is difficult to find kosher food, basic necessities of Jewish life, essentials that a young Chassidic couple needs. Nevertheless they went out and managed to build a center for Jewish life there.

Knowing what kind of homes they came from, I am certain that it is the education they received, which fostered in them this selfless dedication to assist others, to help Jews in need wherever they may be. They were educated in, and lived their lives by the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe.

The Rebbe's words, relentlessly positive vision, and his personal example of leadership, expressed in 24/7 dedication to the Jewish people's needs, is what inspired these young people and gave them the strength to undertake the demanding task to which they devoted their lives.

When events like this happen, we have no way of understanding G-d's thinking or plan. One thing we do need to learn from this - to take the wonderful values this young couple had and emulate them and the life they led, by increasing acts of kindness and goodness, especially strengthening the three pillars of Judaism - Torah, prayer and acts of kindness such as charity.

This Friday, all women and girls should make an effort to light Shabbat candles (no later than 4:02 p.m. in the Hartford area) and continue to do so from now on. The power of those candles will light up our lives and hopes and our future.

Men should make an effort to accept the mitzvah of Tefillin. The Talmud teaches us that one of the special qualities of Tefillin is that it creates an awe of us in our enemies by demonstrating that G-d's power rests upon us. At a time like this, we should also make sure that we have kosher mezuzot on all our doors, both at home and in our workplace.

When G-d sees the Jewish people translating this tragedy into an increase in spirituality, holiness and observance, He will grant us protection, health, happiness and the ultimate redemption, with the coming of Moshiach now.

Shalom, and may we only share good news from now on. ]]> Sun, 30 Nov 2008 16:17:57 GMT Kulek Mazel Tov: It's a Girl! http://www.chabadchevra.com/blog.asp
We look forward to raising our newest addition along with her siblings Menucha Rochel, 2, Chaya Mushka, 3, Shterna Sara, 5, Devora Leah, 7 and Yehuda Levoie, 8, in the shlichus, dispatch of the Rebbe and the Chabad movement, in West Hartford, CT. With the help of G-d may she be a source of pride, and grow up to help with our work with communit and students at the University of Hartford.

There will be a celebration to thank G-d an in the baby's honor on February 14, the 20th of Shevat, at the Chabad House 2352 Albany Ave, West Hartford. A special luncheon will be held at 12:45pm following 10:00am Shabbat Morning services. All are cordially invited to join in our simcha.

    Blankets 4 Babies was a resounding success, thanks to the hard work and efforts of Phi Mu. At least six other organizations participated, the teamwork and solidarity was fantastic.

    Blankets were handmade in memory of Rabbi Gaby & Rivki Holtzberg and in honor of their orphan son, Moshe. Blankets will be going to the St Francis NICU and an orphanage in Safed.
