Jewish Art Calendar For 5774 Goes to Printer This Week

The layout for the coming year’s Jewish Art Calendar is being designed right now, and will be sent to the printer this week. You can still place an ad or have any special dates noted, such as birthdays, anniversaries, yahrzeits, etc.To place your ads and dates, please contact us by Monday morning.

Minyan Maintenance

We thank everyone who made a special effort to attend as many Minyanim as possible. The difference was palpable; the stress level was way down, and the Minyanim started on time. If everyone keeps it up, it would be greatly appreciated. Men, if you have not been attending regularly, this is one habit that you want to form!

Hebrew School Yard Signs

Skokie Chabad Hebrew School yard signs are popping up all over Skokie! If you would like to proudly display one on your lawn, please contact Rabbi Chaim.

Kiddush Sponsors

Yossi and Chani Richter in honor of his mother's Yahrzeit

Timely Reminders

During the Three Weeks period we do not make weddings, and playing musical instruments or listening to music is prohibited, as is the buying and wearing of new garments. We also do not take haircuts during this time. The Rebbe calls for increased acts of Ahavas Yisrael and studying those parts of Torah which discuss building the Bais Hamikdash, such as Navi Yecheskel beginning Ch. 40, Rambam Hilchos Bais Habechira, etc.
