ELUL 25-26After midnight, we recite Selichot (special peni-tential prayers). We continue to recite Selichot every weekday from Monday morning until Rosh Hashanah.
ROSH HASHANAHRosh Hashanah (literally, the “head” of the year) is the beginning of the Jewish year – and the “birth-day” of all of creation. It commemorates the cre-ation of Adam and Eve, the first humans. On the day he was created, Adam acknowledged G-d’s kingship over the entire universe. Each Rosh Ha-shanah, we reaffirm this with our renewed com-mitment to G-d and His commandments.
THE SHOFARThe sounding of the Shofar (the ram’s horn) is a central observance of Rosh Hashanah. The Sho-far calls many things to mind: It symbolizes our coronation of G-d as King, it is a “wake up call” to return to G-d, and it presages the coming of Moshiach, whose arrival will be heralded by the “Great Shofar”. One who missed the Shofar in synagogue should make sure to hear at least the thirty prescribed Shofar sounds before the end of the day.
TASHLICHOn Rosh Hashanah, or on one of the following days, it is customary to visit a body of water containing fish and to recite the Tashlich prayer. At this service, we symbolically “cast away our sins” as we start the year anew, assured that G-d will “cast all their sins into the depth of the sea.” (Micah 7:9).
FAST OF GEDALIAHThe day after Rosh Hashanah is a public fast day, commemorating the slaying of Gedaliah. Gedaliah was the leader of the small Jewish community which remained in Israel at the beginning of the Babylonian exile. Tragically, these last remnants were then dispersed as well.
YOM KIPPURYom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. On this day, we ac-knowledge and regret our past sins and resolve to improve in the future. In return, G-d promises us forgiveness. This day is one of spiritual cleansing; we refrain from working, eating and drinking, wash-ing, anointing with oils or lotions, marital relations and wearing leather shoes.
SUKKOTAfter a period of sober and reverent reflection dur-ing the Days of Awe, we are ready for the joyous holiday of Sukkot, “the Season of our Joy”, rejoic-ing in the knowledge that G-d has inscribed us for a good and healthy new year. The name Sukkot is derived from the word Sukkah, or hut. In com-memoration of the protective “clouds of glory” with which G-d surrounded the Jewish people on their way out of Egypt, we live in makeshift huts during the seven days of this holiday.
THE FOUR KINDSDuring Sukkot, we observe the special mitzvah of shaking the Lulav (palm branch) and the Etrog (cit-ron). Taken together with the Hadas (myrtle) and the Aravah (willow), these very different plant species represent the unity of disparate types of Jews who all play their part in forming the Jewish nation.

SIMCHAT TORAHSimchat Torah marks the day we complete the reading of the Torah in its annual cycle. On the evening of Simchat Torah, (and in many com-munities, on the previous evening of Shemini Atzeret as well) we make seven Hakafot (circuits) around the table upon which the Torah is read, dancing and rejoicing with the Torah scrolls. During morning services on Simchat Torah, we complete the Torah, reading the last Torah por-tion. We immediately start reading the Torah from the beginning again – remembering that the Torah is an endless source of wisdom, each cycle challenging us to discover its ever-deeper meaning.
CHESHVAN 7In Israel, this is considered the first day of the official rain season. Prayers for rain were held off until this day, in deference to those mak-ing their way back from Jerusalem where they spent the holidays.
CHESHVAN 11Passing of our Matriarch Rachel, wife of Yaakov. Rachel passed away in 1563 BCE as Yaakov wasreturning home to his parents. She is buried in Bethlehem.
CHESHVAN 20Birthday of Rabbi Sholom Dov Ber (1860), fifth leader of Chabad-Lubavitch.
THE WEEKLY TORAH READINGAccording to our tradition, the cus-tom of reading from the Torah in the Synagogue every Shabbat is one of the oldest Jewish customs, insti-tuted by Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses) himself. The Torah was divided by Moshe into 54 portions, which is the maximum number of regular readings possible during a Jewish calendar year. The regular cycle is suspended during Jewish holidays, when we read holiday-themed portions instead. Most years, it becomes necessary to occasionally group two portions together in order to complete the cycle on time forSimchat Torah. Our lives are built around the calendar cycles: The year, the month, the week. Every day, the current Torah-Reading of-fers a fresh source of inspiration. Though repeated again and again,there is always a new insight, a new guidance, a new commentary on the here and the now. This is the Jewish way of “living with the times.”

“Chassidic Rosh Hashanah” Yartzeit of Rabbi Dov
Ber of Mezritch, the second leader of the Chassidic
movement (1772). Release from prison of Rabbi
Schneur Zalman of Liadi, founder of the Chabad
movement (1798). His triumphant release marked a
turning point in the spreading of Chassidic thought,
and this date is celebrated in many communities
throughout the world.
KOSHER
Kashrut: Spiritual Diet for a Small Planet
For our physical well-being, few things are as im-
portant as a healthy diet. But the Kosher laws offer
the soul similar benefits, and more. The mystical
masters teach us that everything we eat has a bit
of holiness – a “spark” of divine energy released
when we eat foods prepared in accord with the ko-
sher laws. Just as the body responds to the quality
of the food that fuels it, so too the soul: With ap-
propriate foods prepared in the prescribed manner,
we absorb the Divine nourishment that makes for
a healthy spirit. Adapting your diet to a kosher life-
style is easier than you might imagine. The shelves
of your local supermarket are stocked with literally
hundreds and thousands of products produced un-
der kosher supervision. All you need to do is ask
– call our office for advice and information.

xfCELEBRATING CHANUKAHThe kindling of the Menorah is the focal point of the Chanukah holiday, symbolizing religious freedom and the strength of the Jewish spirit. The menorah is kindled on each of the eight nights of Chanukah, this year beginning Wednesday evening, December 1st.
The Menorah is placed at the left side of a central doorway of the home, or at the front window. The candles should be lit immediately following sunset. However, due to Shabbat observance, the Meno-rah is lit before the Shabbat candles on Friday evening and after the Havdalah ceremony at the end of Shabbat.
Prepare the Menorah so that the candles will remain lit for at least a half-hour after dark. Gather all family members and light the Shamash, the service candle. Recite the proper blessings and light the candles begin-ning from the left. Finally, place the Shamash at its designated place.
OTHER CHANUKAH OBSERVANCES:In addition to the kindling of the Menorah, special prayers are added to the regular services during the eight days of the holiday. Additional customs include preparing oil-rich dishes such as doughnuts or latkes; playing with the dreidel (spin-top); and the giving of Chanukah-gelt (cash gifts) to the young.
TEVET 10Observed as a fast day. On this date, Jerusalem was placed under siege by the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar, resulting in the destruc-tion of the First Temple (422 BCE).

SHEVAT 10Yartzeit of Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn,sixth leader of Chabad-Lubavitch (1950). Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak fought to preserve Jewish life in the U.S.S.R. until he was imprisoned, threatened with his life, and finally forced to leave (1927). In 1940 he came to the United States and estab-lished the network of Chabad-Lubavitch educational institutions throughout the U.S.A. and across the world. This day also marks the beginning of the leadership of his son-in-law Rabbi Men-achem Mendel Schneerson, known as the Lubavitcher Rebbe.
SHEVAT 15 – TU B’SHEVATIn Jewish tradition, the fifteenth day of Shevat is the “New Year” of the trees, opening the season in which trees be-gin to bud in the Holy Land of Israel. Just as Rosh Hashanah, the New Year for all creation, is the day on which man is judged, so too is Tu B’Shevat the day of judgment for earth’s trees. To commemorate this special day, Jews throughout the world eat the dis-tinctive foods that are characteristic of the Holy Land, especially the five fruits mentioned in the Torah: Grapes, Figs, Pomegranates, Olives, and Dates.
SHABBAT AND FESTIVAL CANDLESThroughout the ages, light has stirred the imagination of poets, mystics, sci-entists and psychologists. Because its nature is so different from other mate-rial entities, it is often used to describe spiritual insight. Shabbat is a day of light; its pattern and value-orientation is different from the other days of the week. Thus it is the lighting of the Shabbat Candles that ushers in this state of awareness and inspires us to feel the way it permeates our lives. The mystics call this day of light the Shabbat Queen, and the responsibil-ity for lighting the candles and induc-ing this change of perspective is the woman’s. It is she who welcomes the Shabbat Queen into the home.Young girls, from about the age of three, are encouraged to light their own candles, to involve and educate them in this profound and beautiful mitzvah.The Shabbat Candles are lit 18 min-utes before sunset.
SHEVAT 22Yartzeit of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneerson, wife of the Lubavitcher Rebbe (1988).

ADAR 7Birthday and Yartzeit of Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses), who led the Jewish people out of Egyptian bondage.
TEFILLINTefillin, or phylacteries, are donned every weekday by Jew-ish men and boys over the age of 13. The Torah describes Tefillin as a sign, a public statement of Jewish involvement. By donning Tefillin daily, an individual gives expression to his basic feeling of Jewish identity and its impor-tance to him. The Tefillin are placed on the arm facing the heart, and on the head. This signifies the binding of one’s emotional and intellectual pow-ers to the service of G-d. The straps, stretching from the arm to the hand and from the head to the legs, signify the transmission of intellectual and emotional en-ergy to the hands and feet, sym-bolizing deed and action.

rst PURIMThe actual story of Purim, as told in the Scroll of Esther, is as fascinating
and spell-binding as any best seller. Yet, though it is sacred scripture, we do not find the name of G-d mentioned even once! But within the intricate details of the Megillah, we can detect the unmistakable hand of Divine Providence. And the closer we examine the story, the more we discover that even seemingly insignificant events are precisely ar-ranged by the hand of the Al-mighty.
THE MITzVOT OF PURIM ARE:• The Fast of Esther, held before Purim, to commemorate the day of
prayer and fasting which the Jews held before their victory. • Listen to the reading of Megillat Esther (the Scroll of Esther) at night
and day, recounting the story of Purim.• Send gifts containing at least two types of ready-to-eat food to one
or more friends on the day of Purim. These gifts, called Mishloach Manot (“sending portions”), should preferably be sent via a third party.
• Give Matanot L’evyonim (“gifts of charity to the poor”). While Tzedakah (charity) is a year-round responsibility, it is a particularly special Mitzvah on Purim. Give to at least two needy individuals on Purim day.
• Celebrate with a special festive and joyous meal.• It is traditional to give 3 half dollar coins to charity before Purim,
to commemorate the annual half-shekel given by each Jew in the times of the Holy Temple. This mitzvah is usually performed in the synagogue.
WE WISH YOU ALL A JOYOUS PURIM!

“G-d is close to those who call to him”, Karro International Art, www.judaica-art.com
NISAN 11Birthday of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Men-achem M. Schneerson (1902).
CELEBRATING PESACH (PASSOVER)Pesach is celebrated by refraining from eating or owning any chametz foods for the duration of the holiday, and by participating in a Seder dinner on the first two nights of the holiday.
REMOVAL OF CHAMETzChametz (leaven) is defined as wheat, barley, oats, rye or spelt which have been mixed with water and then had time to rise. During Pe-sach it is forbidden to eat, derive benefit or even own chametz, or any mixture containing chametz. We prepare for Pesach by thoroughly cleaning our home, workplace or other place we own, and removing any trace of chametz we may find. Sinks, tables, countertops, and dishes not used exclusively for Pesach need to be koshered. All food products used on Pesach must be certified Kosher for Passover.On the evening before Pesach begins (this year on Sunday evening, April 17), we formally search the entire home for any remaining chametz. Any chametz we don’t plan on de-stroying is placed in a special room or closet, sealed, and sold - through a Rabbi - to a non-Jew for the duration of the festival. Unsold chametz must be destroyed the morning be-fore the Festival.
THE SEDERThe Pesach Seder, conducted each of the first two nights of Pesach, is the central event of the Passover festival.DURING THE SEDER, WE:• Drink four cups of wine (or grape juice), re-
minding us of the redemption and its four stages.
• Ask the Four Questions and recite the Hag-gadah, which tells the story of Passover and describes the miracles of our redemption.
• Eat Matzah, the plain unleavened bread which symbolizes both the simple bread of slaves and the swiftness of the redemption from Egypt, which did not give our ances-tors time to let their dough rise.
• Eat Maror (bitter herbs), which reminds us of the bitterness of the enslavement.
THE LAST DAY OF PESACHThe eighth and final day of Pesach is associ-ated with Moshiach and our fervent hope for his imminent arrival. In many communities, a festive “Moshiach Meal” is organized toward the evening, to emphasize this day’s special dimension.
COUNTING OF THE OMER:Beginning the second evening of Pesach, we count seven weeks until the arrival of the festi-val of Shavuot. They correspond to the seven weeks, starting from the night of the Exodus, during which our ancestors eagerly awaited the receiving of the Torah at Mount Sinai.

“Jerusalem, Surrounded by hills”, by Art Levin, www.artlevin.com
IYAR 14 – PESACH SHENIWhen the Holy Temple stood in Jerusalem, this day offered a second chance to offer the Passover sacrifice for those who, because of distance or ritual impurity, had been un-able to bring their offering at the appropriate time.
IT’S NEvER TOO LATE:The eternal significance of the Second Passover, says the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneer-sohn, is that it is never too late to rectify a past failing. Even if a person has failed to fulfill an aspect of his/her mission in life, so that the Torah calls him/her “contaminated by death” (i.e., in a state of disconnection from the divine source of life) or “on a distant road” from his people and G-d, there is always another chance, a second “Pass-over”, in which s/he can make good on what s/he has missed out.
IYAR 18 – LAG BA’OMEROn this date, in the early 2nd century, the students of Rabbi Akiva, the greatest sage of that era, ceased to die from an epidemic. Years later on this same date, his student Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, Mishnaic sage and author of the Zohar (the seminal work of Kabbalah) passed away. Having ful-filled his mission in this world he asked that the anniversary of his death be celebrated as a joyous occasion. Through-out the Land of Israel – and indeed in Jewish communities throughout the world – this day is marked with festivities and bonfires. In particular, thousands journey to rejoice in the town of Miron, site of Rabbi Shimon’s resting place.

THE HOLIDAY OF SHAVUOT:The festival of Shavuot celebrates the giving of the Torah – G-d’s gift to every single Jew. The Torah pro-vides humankind with directives to lead a meaningful, productive life. It gives us the insight to see beyond the outer layers of our physical existence and behold the G-dliness within, and the means with which we can refine our lives and the world around us.
SHAVUOT OBSERVANCES:• All-night Torah-study on the first
night of Shavuot. This is the best preparation for receiving the Torah!
• Reading of the Ten Command-ments in the synagogue on the first day of Shavuot. Bring your children too!
• A festive dairy meal is served on the first day of Shavuot. Our an-cestors had not yet learned to prepare Kosher meat!

“Alone with nature”, based on work by michael Khundiashvili, art@chabadhousecalendar.com
TAMMUZ 3Passing of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson (1994). The Rebbe’s contribution to Jews and Judaism in this generation is immeasurable. Under his leadership and guidance, thousands of young couples have dedicated their lives, through the global network of Chabad-Lubavitch institutions, to spread Yiddishkeit throughout the globe. His vision and promise of an immi-nent redemption, and a world filled with G-dliness, peace and harmony continues to inspire millions throughout the world. Through our efforts, it shall surely soon become a reality.
TAMMUz 12Birthday of Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak, sixth leader of Chabad-Lubavitch (1880), and his release from Bolshevikimprisonment (1927). He was imprisoned and threatened with his life for his struggle to preserve Judaism in the Soviet Union. His release was celebrated throughout the Jewish world as a victory for Jewry and Judaism.
FAST OF TAMMUz 17The 17th of Tammuz marks the beginning of a three-week period of mourning. This is a tragic time on our calendar during which many calamities befell our nation in the course of history. On the 17th of Tammuz in particular, af-ter years of siege, the walls of Jerusalem were breached. The Jewish forces continued to defend the Temple Mount for another 19 days, until it too fell on the 7th of Av. The Beit HaMikdash, the Holy Temple, was torched late on Av 9. Thus the “Three Weeks” begins with a fast on the 17th of Tammuz and concludes with a full day (25-hour) fast on the Ninth of Av. During this period, we do not celebrate weddings and in general hold no festivities.

TAMMUZ 3 - THE REBBE’S DAYA day that encourages us to bond with the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson. Evenwith the lack of his physical presence since 1994, the Reb-be continues to have an immeasurable impact on Jews and Judaism. Under his leadership and guidance, thousands of young couples continue to dedicate and devote their lives, through the global networks of Chabad-Lubavitch institutions, to spread Yidishskeit, goodness and kindness throughout the world. The Rebbe’s vision and promise of an imminent redemption, and a world filled with G-dlines, peace and harmony continues to inspire millions through-out the world. Soon it shall surely become a reality.

“Kindling the Shabbat candle”, based on work by boris Dubrov, art@chabadhousecalendar.com
THE NINE DAYS OF MOURNINGWhile the mourning period begins on Tammuz 17, it intensifies when the month of Av enters. From the First of Av until after the Ninth of Av (excluding Shabbat), we refrain from consuming meat or wine and from various pleasurable ac-tivities as a sign of additional mourning.
TISH’A B’AV – THE NINTH OF AVThe Ninth of Av has been a sad day on the Jew-ish calendar from the earliest days of our history as a people. Just one year after our forefathers left Egypt, it was on this date that G-d punished that generation, decreeing that they would wan-der the desert for forty years, never entering into the Holy Land. Much more recently, World War I began on Av 9. The focus of our mourning, however, is on the destruction on this date of both the first Temple (422 BCE) and the second Temple (68 CE). The observances of the fast of Tish’a B’Av are similar to those of Yom Kippur. These include refraining from any food or drink, wearing leather shoes, washing or showering, anointing oneself with oils or lotions, and from marital relations. Additionally, on the eve of the fast, the scroll of Eichah (Lamentations) is read in the synagogue in a unique chant, melancholy yet reassuring. Until noon we sit on low seats only, as a mourner does during Shiva.May we merit seeing the ultimate redemptionand rebuilding of the Temple by Moshiach,now!
Av 15The Mishnah (Tractate Ta’anit) recounts: “There were no greater holidays for the Jewish people than that of the 15th of Av and of Yom Kippur.” Several joyful events have occurred on this date, including the end of the 40-year decree upon the Jewish people to wander and die in the desert after leaving Egypt. This date is particularly joyful as it occurs just as we conclude the mourning period over the destruction of the Temple.
THE UPCOMING REDEMPTIONThe belief in the upcoming redemption is one of the foundations of our faith, and has been prom-ised to us by almost every one of our prophets, beginning with Moses himself. Maimonides in-cluded it in his famous Thirteen Principles of theJewish Faith. Throughout the ages, even during the most trying times, our ancestors have always prayed for and looked forward to the coming of Moshiach, our redeemer.
LET’S WELCOME MOSHIACHLed by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, many prominent Rabbis pro-claimed this generation to be the one to usher in the redemption. We can prepare for this special time by studying the relevant passages in the Torah and its commentaries, and by increasing in acts of goodness and kindness. This will not only help us prepare for the redemption – this will hasten its arrival!

“reaching out to heaven”, based on work by David Gafni, Israel, art@chabadhousecalendar.com
ELULThe month of Elul, the last of the Jewish calendar, is the time to re-flect on our actions of the passing year, and to find ways to correct any shortcomings. In synagogues around the world, extra prayers are recited daily and the Shofar is sounded every weekday.
ELUL 18Known as Chai Elul, the “life” of Elul. Birthday of Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov (1698), founder of the Chassidic movement, and of Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi (1745), founder of the Chabad movement.
ELUL 25-26After midnight, we recite Selichot (special penitential prayers). We continue doing so every weekday morning until the eve of Rosh Ha-shanah.
Elul 25According to Jewish tradition, this was the first of the Six Days of Cre-ation. Rosh Hashana is celebrated on day six, when Adam & Eve were created.
ROSH HASHANAHRosh Hashanah (literally, the “head” of the year) is the beginning of the
Jewish year – and the “birthday” of all of creation. It commemorates the creation of Adam and Eve, the first humans. On the day he was created, Adam acknowledged G-d’s kingship over the entire universe. Each Rosh Hashanah, we reaffirm this with our renewed commitment to G-d and His commandments.
THE SHOFARThe sounding of the Shofar (the ram’s horn) is a central observance of Rosh Hashanah. The Shofar calls many things to mind: It symbolizes our coronation of G-d as King, it is a “wake up call” to return to G-d, and it presages the coming of Moshiach, whose arrival will be heralded by the “Great Shofar”.One who missed the Shofar in syna-gogue should make sure to hear at least the thirty prescribed Shofar sounds before the end of the day.
TASHLICHOn Rosh Hashanah, or on one of the following days, it is customary to visit a body of water containing fish and to recite the Tashlich prayer. At this service, we symbolically “cast away our sins” as we start the year anew, assured that G-d will “cast all their sins into the depth of the sea.” (Micah 7:9).
