1 Shabbat Yitro Shevat 21-22, 5767 February 9-10, 2007 Candle Lighting: 5:04 PM Shabbat Ends: 6:06 PM V OLUME I F RIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, SHEVA T, 5767 I SSUE XXIV Brooklyn Union West Side Rebbetzins Join Chabad Women From Around the World for International Kinus HaShluchos This weekend, over 2 thousand Chabad Rebbetzins, directors of Chabad Houses, educators and teachers will converge on Crown Hieghts, Brooklyn for 4 days of inspiration, sharing of ideas, studying and renewing of friendships. The Kinus HaShluchos, or conference of Chabad women emissaries, is a yearly convention that meets at Lubavitch Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneerson World Headquarters every year around the date of 22 Shevat, the Yarhzeit of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushkas Schneersohn, wife of the Rebbe. Shluchos come from all over the world to participate in the Kinus. Dozens of workshops are held covering an array of topics ranging from teaching teens to website administration to establishing preschools to harmonizing one s public and private life. Our very own Keren Blum, co-director of Chabad at Columbia University, will be leading a round table discussion entitled Different Strokes For Different Folks which will focus on the different roles a Chabad Campus Shlucha has on a private, public or Ivy League campus. The highlight of the Kinus is the Grand Banquet, to be held this Sunday evening at the Brooklyn Marriot. As one Shlucha wrote after last years banquet, The most amazing part of the Kinus Hashluchos is the energy within the room at the time on the banquet, when all women hold hands and dance around the room, together. Clearly, this type of unity will help bring Mashiach. 101 WEST 92ND STREET NEW YORK, NY chabad@chabadwestside.org Chabad of the West Side & Chabad Early Learning Center Weekly Bulletin Inside: s xc Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka By Sara Esther Crispe The year was I had recently moved to Crown Heights, Brooklyn after graduating from college in San Diego, California. It was quite a change for me, the geographical shift from the beaches of La Jolla to the noise and cold of New York being the least of it. More so, I had left my politically correct, and extremely liberal college environment to immerse myself in intensive Judaic studies and try to get a glimpse of understanding into the life long question, "Who am I?" I had left my politically correct, and extremely liberal college environment Although spiritual knowledge was something I was seeking, eating was also one of my needs, so I immediately started to look for a job. I soon heard that a woman was in need of a gymnastic teacher. Having done gymnastics for years and coached during college, I was thrilled to discover that there was a small gym program being held in this woman's basement for little five year old Chassidic girls. I was ecstatic. Granted, it was not a gym like I was used to, but I knew I could improvise, and just wanted an opportunity to work with children and teach them the very things I loved so much.

2 CHABAD WEEKLY BULLETIN PAGE 2 Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka continued from page 1 Little did I know who would be teaching whom. My first day teaching I was a bit nervous. I had never lived in an "Orthodox" community before and was quite new to such a lifestyle. But having just spent a year in Israel and learning in yeshiva there, I felt like I had a pretty good idea as to what I was in for, until I started roll call. There were twelve girls registered in my class. I began to read the names: Mushka, Chaya Mushka, Mushkie, Moussia, Chaya Moussia, Mussie I kid you not, all twelve girls had different versions of the same name. At first I thought that perhaps there was some law or rule I hadn't yet learned about. I couldn't possibly fathom how every single girl had the same name. (And, needless to say, we immediately decided to call the girls by their last names ) When I asked them what their name meant, why they had been given those names, they all excitedly explained that they were named after the Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka, the Rebbe's wife. Even though they were only five, they were filled with beautiful stories of who this woman was and why they were so proud to carry her name. As I watched these little kindergartners speak, there was a pride and power that they had when talking about her, and it was immediately clear that this was a very special woman. These girls were of the first of thousands of girls to be named after her. Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka had passed away the twenty second of the month of the Hebrew month of Shevat, in I was awe struck. I had heard little of the "Rebbetzin," as she was called, but clearly she was a woman whose influence and spirit permeated all who knew her or knew of her. While I hadn't been fortunate enough to meet her in her life, I knew that my little group of Chaya Mushka's would be the beginning of my learning process of discovering who she was and what she embodied. My little group of Chaya Mushka's would be the beginning of my learning process The first thing I was shown was her picture. Unquestionably, she was a very beautiful woman. She was stunning. And yet, there was something about her that was so graceful, so royal, so holy. It spoke to me through the photograph as I stared at her face and looked into her eyes. She embodied the concept that is often attributed to her, Kol Kavoda Bat Melech Penima, "All the honor of the daughter of the King is within." This is not to say that externally she was not also beautiful, but that true beauty shines from within and illuminates all that is outside of itself. Furthermore, those who don't deserve honor often seek it. Those who are truly honorable in the recesses of their souls, need nothing external to validate that. The Rebbetzin did not have an easy life and yet she was not known to complain about it. Being married to the Rebbe, the spiritual leader of hundreds of thousands of Jews throughout the world, meant that her husband did not belong to her alone. Sharing the man you love is never easy, and yet it was something she chose to do and encouraged. She recognized his potential, his role, his ability and the way his Chassidim needed him, and made that her focus. For many, when they spoke with her or met her, they were completely unaware of who she was. She wanted it that way. She was also extremely intelligent, cultured and well read. She studied literature in university after she married, at the same time when the Rebbe was studying. And she was an avid reader. To her many friends she was Chaya Mushka. To the rest of the world, she was the Rebbetzin, the Lubavitcher Rebbe's wife. And yet, she was careful not to abuse the power that title gave her. It was not flaunted. She did not seek special privileges or treatment. Rather, she was a very private and unassuming woman, never desiring to draw attention to herself. When she would identify who she was, it was always as "Mrs. Schneersohn from President Street." She allowed the Rebbe to be Rebbe--someone who influenced and changed world Jewry She would avoid shopping or going to public places. It is understandable given the reputation and status that she had. Yet what is most fascinating, most powerful, was her reason for not going. Unlike the common situation where one would not want to deal with the attention and people pestering, for Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka the reason was quite the opposite. She didn't want to make other people uncomfortable. She knew that people would want to please her and give her special attention, and not only didn't she want or need that, she didn't want anyone else to feel the need to Continued on page 4

4 CHABAD WEEKLY BULLETIN PAGE 4 The Rebbetzin Continued from page 2 attend to her. Though she didn't want respect and acknowledgement, she most certainly received it. For all who knew her and knew of her, knew how much she deserved the utmost treatment. She allowed the Rebbe to be Rebbe--someone who influenced and changed world Jewry on a scale that we cannot possibly measure. The Rebbe was able to be who he was because of who the Rebbetzin truly was. Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka's Shabbat candlesticks And while she endured the test of biological childlessness, she most certainly had and has countless children who consider her their mother in so many ways. Not only those named in her memory and honor, but the numerous educational institutions around the world that proudly bear her name. It was known that when she would be asked if she had any children, she would respond, "The Chassidim are my children." Not only was this true then, but in some ways it is even more true now. Almost thirteen years have passed since I taught that gymnastics class. And I am still seeking to understand on a deeper level, "Who am I?" I hope to spend my life trying to know the answer. And those twelve little Chaya Mushkas are not little girls anymore. They are now nineteen year old young women who are entering their adult lives as powerful women who can make a difference in this world. Young women who carry the responsibility of a name and the legacy of a woman who has helped me understand how I want to answer my question. For the Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka taught me, taught us all, that true beauty stems from within, and that those most worthy of respect, honor, acknowledgement and awe, are those that do not seek it nor want it.

7 Notes from Noah Dear Parents: First of all I would like to introduce myself. I see some of you for a second in the hallway, but everyone is always in a rush in the mornings let me begin by saying it has been a great pleasure playing music with your children. It is a delight to watch their comprehension of musical ideas grow from week to week. Even those who seemed shy at first have really bloomed and now enthusiastically participate in singing Hebrew and English songs. We have also been doing rhythm exercises such as repeating clapping and drumming patterns and tempo variations (fast-slow, soft-loud) and it quite impressive to see how quickly they pick these concepts up. Over the past two weeks we have been singing Tu B Shevat songs and have now begun singing Purim songs. Beyond teaching them a few new songs, my hope is to instill a deep love and connection to music. I really feel that these are crucial years, and I am honored to be a part of the beginning of their musical journey. I also would like to add that I am very open to hear about any songs or musicalgame ideas you might have.

8 Spotlight on Toddler 1 While it may feel and look like winter is here, in Toddler 1 they re thinking spring! Benjamin s mom, Andrea Klein, presented the class with bulbs, soil and planters in December. The children designed and planted bulbs in personal mini pots which they presented to their families in honor of Chanukah. The toddlers are now working on their class planters. The children love watering them and eagerly look for changes each day as they sing: I ll plant a seed in the ground And water it with care After waiting for a very long time We ll see little buds growing there (repeat last two lines) The wisest man in the world cannot make things grow It s only Hashem, Hashem we love Who makes things grow we know (repeat last two lines) Zachary R Mishloach Manot Sales On Purim it is a Mitzvah to give Mishloach Manot; a gift of at least 2 types of food to a friend.

9 This week's parsha tells us that the name of Moses first child was Gershom. This name is a contraction of two words: ger shom, which means "a stranger there." Moses said at his birth that: "I was a stranger in a foreign land," alluding to the time he spent in exile, in Midian, where he met his wife Tziporah, daughter of Yitro, and where his two sons were born. The Midrash tells us that when Moses asked Yitro for permission to marry his daughter Tziporah, Yitro insisted that he would do so on the condition that Moses' first son would be for idolatry and the other children would be free to worship G- d. The Midrash concludes that Moses acceded to his request! How strange are these cryptic words of the Midrash that suggests that Gershom, Moses' firstborn, was groomed to be an idolater! Also, if Yitro was so keen about idolatry, why didn't he make that request of Moses himself - and why didn't he ask Moses to raise all of his future grandchildren that way? First, a few words of introduction about Yitro and his background are in order. Our sages teach that while Yitro was originally an idolater, he eventually converted to Judaism. He delved into every religion known at the time, studied it, and came to understand the shortcomings and falsities of each of them. Since he was a truth seeker, he ceaselessly examined each religion for its truth. Yitro finally came to the truth of Judaism because he searched for the truth. Clearly, Yitro did not want his grandchildren to be idolaters, G-d forbid. Even if he did, Moses would certainly have not agreed to that condition. Both Moses and Yitro knew that Gershom would grow up to be a G-d fearing person. Yitro rather wanted that one of Moses' sons should be given the opportunity to search for the truth by first examining other cultures and their beliefs and then, at the end, come to the conclusion that there is only one true G-d. In Yitro's mind, based on his own experience, one can much better appreciate truth when it is arrived at after painstaking research. Yitro only asked for this approach for the first-born assuming that the other children will be raised in a Jewish milieu and could not be expected to be searchers in other domains. But the firstborn, who most likely would be raised in a Midian where idolatry thrives, should be exposed to these foreign cultures, Yitro thought. What happened later did not concern him. TORAH FAX Cut To The Chase CHABAD WEEKLY BULLETIN PAGE 9 was a mistake. Although Gershom did not become an idolater, a descendent of his did become a priest for idol worship. Yitro's approach - and Moses' agreement to his father in law's condition - was not the ideal. What emerges is that there are two approaches towards discovering truth: Some are careful to examine all the different religions and isms and methodically go through the process of elimination until they ultimately realize that there is one G-d. But a second approach, which is especially pertinent when it comes to raising children - is to begin at the end. Skip the ordeal - and risk - of having to struggle with finding the truth. Let children grow up in a stress-free environment where the truth of Judaism is not challenged. Provide our youth with the pride of being Jewish without compelling them to "graze in foreign pastures," or in a "foreign land." This doesn't mean that a Jew cannot be familiar with the outside world. It does, however, mean that we should view everything through the prism of Judaism. True, there are the Yitros of today whose journey to Judaism took them through many winding paths-and more power to them. Yitro is never criticized for his approach of searching for the truth. On the contrary, our Sages tell us that G-d did not give the Torah until Yitro joined the Jewish people. But Yitro-the historical and the modern day ones-were, by Divine Providence, raised in these "foreign lands." It is to their immense credit that they possessed the intellectual integrity to let their search lead back to a Jewish way of life. But when we are presented with a challenge as to how to approach a new generation of youth, we ought to provide them with a pure Jewish attitude to everything from which all other attitudes of life will be informed. Sadly, we are not always in control of the influences that reach us and our youth. We are still in Galut/exile, a "foreign land,"which is not just a geographic phenomenon, but also a state of alienation from our own identity. Considering this, we must not allow the well-intentioned Yitros to get us more deeply into exile and its mentality. We must muster all the energy we have to liberate us from our own internal exile-our submission and surrender to the way of thinking of the "foreign land." This is what the Messianic Age is all about. At that time we will see and appreciate things in their purist state. According to the Midrash, Moses' acceptance of this condition Moshiach Matters... The AriZal writes that the last generation before the coming of Mashiach is a reincarnation of the generation of our forefathers who came out of Egypt. Just as that generation was found worthy of our people's first redemption through the agency of Moshe Rabbeinu, so will this generation, the generation of the "footsteps of Mashiach," be found worthy of our people's final and ultimate Redemption -- through the hands of our Righteous Mashiach.

Answer: A cup of coffee should be made on Shabbat in the following way: Take a dry cup. If the cup has been rinsed, it should be dried. Fill the cup with hot water from the kettle. This is a Kli Sheini (second vessel to hold the water. The first (Kli Rishon) being the pot on the fire). The hot water should then be poured into a second cup (a Kli Shlishi) in which one then puts the coffee granules. There are opinions that allow instant coffee, milk and sugar to be added to a Keli Sheni, however it is always preferable to use a Keli Shlishi. Instant tea should be prepared in the same way as coffee. One may make tea on Shabbat using a tea bag inside a Keli Shlishi. As regards removing the tea bag, one should not remove it with one's fingers but with a spoon. Furthermore, one should not squeeze the bag upon removal from the cup. Herbal teas in a bag must be prepared in a Keli Shlishi. With regard putting to a slice of lemon, one should be stringent and only add the lemon to a Keli Shlishi. Lemon juice may definitely be added to a Keli Sheni, Note: it is prohibited to squeeze a lemon directly into tea. If you have any questions you would like discussed in the Halachic corner, please them to Rabbi Fried at ryf@chabadwedstside.org. Shabbat Shalom!
