I've got lots to say, but time is short...
So, all I'm going to say is THANK YOU!
Thank you to ALL who contributed to and participated in the amazing, MIRACULOUS success story of our Chabad's 24th Anniversary Dinner!
- The Guests of Honor - Supervisor Bosworth, Orly, Sheryl, Tami & Tammy (Tammy great speech! Read it by clicking here)
- Dinner Chairman Howard Fensterman for all you did in preparation for this successful event, and for the great opening speech
- My wife Sara for her oversight of the event in terms of set up, d?cor, catering, etc. etc. etc.
- Guest Speaker Rabbi Kotlarsky from Chabad Central for taking the house down with his humor and passion
- Board Members those who were present and those who could not be
- Gary Wallin, the events director (music, sound, video, videography, song writing of "Yesterday") all flawlessly executed!
- Peter Weiss from Prestige Caterers, as always so elegantly done! (What a sight seeing people sipping drinks at hi-boys in Florence's Israel, with views of the "Kotel," and in Florence's Caf?...)
- Rob Salzbank of Rampage Studios for outdoing himself yet again, bringing us the amazing photos (click here to view) and for portrait sessions to anyone who wanted one!
- And MOST IMPORTANTLY to EACH AND EVERY INDIVIDUAL of the DINNER GUESTS who dedicated the evening to celebrate with our Chabad.
THANK YOU ALL!
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Shalom M. Paltiel
P.S. While I'm VERY pleased at the success of the dinner, I regret the fact that dinner was served much too late. This was due in part because of the extra time it took to move the crowd from all parts of the facility to the Social Hall, and other factors. I apologize to any of our guests who had to leave before dinner. Next year dinner will be served first, before the program, my word!

 Are You a Jew in the Head?
Jews have distinct rituals: a way of dress, interesting holidays, and a unique diet. When G-d gave us these instructions He told us that He was choosing us as His special nation. But beneath those rituals, are we truly distinct? As Jews, do we think differently?

 I Just Discovered I'm Jewish!
Funny thing, nobody is ever shocked by the discovery that their mother is Inuit. What's so different about being Jewish?

Tuned In
There is a common misconception that the good things in life come from being in the right place at the right time. In truth, everything that is good comes from being on the right channel with the right reception.
This is what the sages call z'chut?sometimes translated as "merit." What it really means is a kind of fine-tuning of the soul.
How do you fine-tune the soul? You have three knobs: What you do, what you say and what you think. Adjust them carefully for static-clean reception.

Parshat Naso
Completing the headcount of the Children of Israel taken in the Sinai Desert, a total of 8,580 Levite men between the ages of 30 and 50 are counted in a tally of those who will be doing the actual work of transporting the Tabernacle.
G-d communicates to Moses the law of the sotah, the wayward wife suspected of unfaithfulness to her husband. Also given is the law of the nazir, who forswears wine, lets his or her hair grow long, and is forbidden to become contaminated through contact with a dead body. Aaron and his descendants, the kohanim, are instructed on how to bless the people of Israel.
The leaders of the twelve tribes of Israel each bring their offerings for the inauguration of the altar. Although their gifts are identical, each is brought on a different day and is individually described by the Torah.
