Our Chabad's annual dinner is just around the corner.
This year we salute Felix Sater and Alan & Barbara Rosenzweig, staunch pillars of our Shul who have made monumental contributions to our growth and success. Alan Salzbank, our dinner chairman, is clearly a man of great dedication to our Chabad.Let's honor these individuals(and help our Chabad) by coming out to salute their efforts.
This year's event will be extraordinary in that we will be completing the writing of a Torah scroll, written in honor of Felix's father of blessed memory. This is a momentous occasion, not something that happens every day in Port... Please make sure not to miss this historic event!
Is it not too late to make your dinner reservation. Dinner Scroll of Honor deadline is Friday morning at 10am.
Keep in mind that the new Torah will be read at our Shul for the very first time on Wednesday morning (June 4th) which is Shavuos, the day of the giving of the Torah & Ten Commandments! Mark your calendar to be here for that important day, which comes along with a delicious dairy Kiddush and ice cream party. Bring the kids (they can miss a day of school... it's Shavuos!)
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Shalom M Paltiel
P.S. It is very important for each of us, men, women and children, even small children and infants, to hear the TEN COMMANDMENTS on Wednesday. This is a not-to-be-missed event. For this reason we will have two readings (and ice cream parties), one in the morning during services, and another at 7pm. Please make it your business to ensure your family attends one of these readings. It's a big deal... and a source of important blessings.

Why Is Shavuot So Easy?
Question: Yesterday, I attended a class called "The Laws of Shavuot." Being relatively new to Judaism, I expected a class similar to those before Passover or Sukkot. Many technical laws. Lots of "do"s and "do not"s.
To my surprise, other than going to synagogue to hear the reading of the Ten Commandments, there are very few laws unique to Shavuot. Unlike Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, there are no lengthy prayers. And unlike Sukkot and Passover, we can eat whatever we like, as well as wherever we like. Sure there are the customs related to flowers, blintzes, and cheesecakes, but hey, it's a piece of (cheese)cake compared to the other holidays.
Am I missing something here? Shouldn't the holiday on which we received the many laws of the Torah have some laws of its own?

Torah and Us
The Torah and a Jew are one.
So much so, that even a Jew who claims he has no connection with the Torah-when pushed up against a wall, even that Jew will hold the Torah as the most precious thing in life.

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.
