On Monday night, after Eicha, we will show the documentary film “Nicky’s Family”.

“Nicky's Family” tells the nearly forgotten story of Nicholas Winton, an Englishman who organized the rescue of 669 Czech and Slovak children just before the outbreak of World War II.

Winton, now 104 years old, did not speak about these events with anyone for more than half a century. His exploits would have probably been forgotten if his wife, fifty years later, hadn‘t found a suitcase in the attic, full of documents and transport plans.

During the Nine Days we enter a period of more intense mourning for the destruction of the Beis Hamikdash. In addition to the restrictions of the Three Weeks, we do not eat meat or drink wine, bathe for pleasure, launder, etc. The Rebbe encourages making Siyumim, thus increasing joy in a way permissible during this time. There will be Siyumim made in Shul after Mincha on some days.
