Subsidy for Guests Distributed

��

R. Naftali Estulin, shliach of the Rebbe to California, has begun distributing the $100 subsidy that he offered to all Tishrei guests who comply with the programs arranged by Eishel-Hachnasas Orchim. The distribution began in the Ezras Nashim for the female guests. The hundreds of girls warmly thanked R. Estulin for his overwhelmingly generous assistance.

Nshei Chabad Celebrates Vov Tishrei in OT

Nshei Chabad gathering in Oholei Torah

The final Rashi in Parshas Vayeilech explains the words �After my death you will surely act corruptly.� Rashi points out that for all the days of Yehoshua�s life, they did not act corruptly. Rashi then explains that �a person�s student is as dear to him as his very self, for all the while that Yehoshua was alive it seemed to Moshe at if he himself was alive.�

Addressing N�shei Chabad on Shabbos afternoon, Parshas Vayeilech, the fifth of Tishrei, the day before the Yartzeit of Rebbitzen Chana, Rabbi Groner spoke about this Rashi and the significance it has for Chassidim who are connected to the Rebbe and who have not left the Rebbe�s tent, just as Yehoshua did not leave his Rebbe�s tent.

The event, honoring the Yartzeit of Rebbitzen Chana, was held in the ballroom of Oholei Menachem, and drew hundreds of women, despite extremely rough, stormy weather.
(Report continued in full article)

Rabbi Groner told of how Rebbetizen Chana gave conditions to the Friediker Rebbe, before she would agree to her son marrying the Friediker Rebbe�s daughter. One of the conditions was that should there be a need for the leadership to transfer, her son would be the next Rebbe� indicating that the connection of the Chassidim to the Rebbe came through his mother, Rebbitzen Chana.

Rabbi Groner explained how Rosh Hashana is the perfect time to strengthen one�s connection to the Rebbeim. On the second day of Rosh Hashana the Rebbe would speak about each Rebbe, starting with the Baal Shem Tov, Rebbe by Rebbe until the Frierdiker Rebbe.

Rabbi Groner told of how, before blowing Shofar, the Rebbe would spread his Tallis over his head and over the bags filled with Rosh Hashana Panim of the Chassidim, and how he, Rabbi Groner, would bend down and lift a corner of the Rebbe�s Tallis and listen. The Rebbe would sing verses! from the Niggunim of the Baal Shem, the Maggid and the Alter Rebbe.

As an appropriate follow up, when Rabbi Groner completed his presentation and left the room, the women began to sing Niggunim. The chairlady, Mrs. Miryam Swerdlov, who has been leading this particular event for many years, chose to sing Reb Shmiel�s Niggun which she felt would connect the women to both Rebbitzen Chana and the Rebbe.

Miryam told the story of how the Rebbe taught Reb Shmeil�s Niggun on Simchas Torah, at about five thirty in the morning. Early the next morning, Rebbitzen Chana requested that someone teach her the new Niggun that her son had just taught.

Miryam, then a young teenager, was selected to teach Reb Shmiel�s Niggun to Rebbitzen Chana.

The program was full of teachings, stories, songs, laughing and meditating. The women of N�shei Chabad left feeling uplifted and empowered to do more to bring the Rebbe and Rebbitzen Chana into their lives, with the ultimate goal to reveal Moshiach Now!

Yom Kippur
----------

Our prophets tell us: “Seek HaShem when He can be found. Call to Him as He is near.” Our sages tell us — “These are the ten days between Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur.” Although HaShem is always among us, there are times that He listens to our prayers more closely. And therefore, we set these days apart to pray more and to do teshuvah. We call these days Aseres Yimay Teshuvah — the Ten Days of Repentance.

But wait a minute. Our sages said: “Ten days between Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur.” We don’t need a calculator to figure out that there are only seven days between Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur. Since we call these days “the ten days of repentance,” we are obviously including Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur.

Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur are included in these ten days, because an important part of these holidays is teshuvah, returning to HaShem. But then why did our Sages say: “between Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur.” When we say “between,” we usually do not include the beginning and the end. If Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur are part of these ten days, what is the beginning and what is the end?

On Rosh HaShanah, we are doing teshuvah, but we have a special task that makes us reach even deeper than teshuvah. On Rosh HaShanah, we proclaim HaShem as King of the Universe. This is the beginning for these ten days.

Yom Kippur is the last of the ten days of teshuvah. On this holy day, we are also doing teshuvah. But again there is something on this day that is deeper than teshuvah.

What would happen on Yom Kippur in the Beis HaMikdash? The kohen gadol would enter the Kodesh HaKodeshim, the Holy of Holies. No one else would be with him. He would stand alone, before the Aron HaKodesh, the ark where HaShem’s holiness rests. This level of closeness with HaShem is what is most important about Yom Kippur.

Even today, although the Beis HaMikdash has not yet been rebuilt, every Jew can also share this special bond of closeness with HaShem. After we daven all day, we come to the final prayer of Neilah. Neilah means “locking.” At the end of a full day of fasting and davening, a Jew comes very close to HaShem. He is locked in, together with HaShem, like the kohen gadol in the Kodesh HaKedoshim. This special closeness is the end-point of the Ten Days of Teshuvah.
