Dedicated in honor of the Rebbe, and in memory of Yitzchak Leib (Lyle) Federman Nissan 4, 5772 · March 27, 2012 Editor's Note: Dear readers, I will never forget the scene. My grandfather, Rabbi Chaim Meir Bukiet, a Talmudic scholar, was speaking in Lexington, Mass., where my uncle Rabbi Alter Bukiet is rabbi. "The Gemara," he began, quoting the Talmud, "says that when a wife and a husband are not at peace, the mizbe'ach sheds tears," referring to the altar that stood in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. "Why specifically the altar? Why not the candelabrum or the laver? "The Kabbalistic masters taught that sacrifices were not just in the Holy Temple; they are a part of every person's daily life. When I put my needs aside for the good of another—that is sacrifice. When there is no peace in the home, no shalom bayit, we are not sacrificing enough. For this reason," Grandfather concluded, "the altar sheds tears. It weeps, thinking that we have failed to sacrifice enough." This week we read the Torah portion of Tzav, which deals largely with sacrifices. Take some time to see where you can sacrifice, for your family, your community, for the world. And of course, enjoy the many articles that delve into the various practical lessons we learn from the sacrifices in the Holy Temple. Have a great week!

Magazine This email dedicated by: Chaim & Lauren In honor of Rabbi Mendy Goldstein of Chabad of Naperville To dedicate an email, click here Kislev 10, 5772 · December 6, 2011 Editor's Note: Man, were we charged—4,500 of us packed into that huge pier-warehouse-outfitted-as-giant-ballroom. We were at a banquet of astronomical proportions, the culmination of three days of nonstop workshops, mentoring and tip-sharing. After roll-call, country by country throughout the entire globe, everyone is standing, the band strikes up, and some 4,500 rabbis and guests transmogrify into a single churning mass of hyper-adrenalized, turbo-charged joy. I saw two rabbis who barely knew each other grab one another, and dance and celebrate as eternal friends. I'm talking about the annual international convention of Chabad Shluchim. "Shluchim" means agents—basically, those out in the field doing the work the Rebbe charged us all with: Wake up Jews! Connect them with one another! Connect them with G-d and their holy heritage! Change the world! There are many sorts of conventions in the Jewish world. Some get together to put out fires—to deal with all the pressing, urgent matters of the Jewish global shtetl. Others get together to build fires as well—bonfires around which our brothers and sisters will gather and warm their hearts. Fires of joy. Fires of love. And man, were we on fire.
