Chabad Maple Grove

Today marks 30 years since the Rebbe, considered the most influential Rabbi in modern history, passed away.

The Rebbe's impact lives on, and quite incredibly is even stronger and wider spread universally.

Today is not about commemorating the past... It's about the Rebbe's vision and leadership that continues to guide and inspire us, empowering us to be kinder, do more, and take on that one mitzvah that'll make the world whole.

I am currently teaching the Jewish Learning Institute Course - "Advice for Life," revolutionary teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, of blessed memory, for a better way of living.

The fourth class will be delivered tomorrow, Wednesday, March 6, from 7:00 to 8:30 PM, and it is about emotional well- being. I believe that this class could be helpful for many of us, so I'm opening it to the entire community to join.

If you think you may benefit from great tools to navigate emotions or help others struggling with challenging feelings, please reply to this message, and I will be happy to share the information to join either in person or virtually.

With best regards,

Today Kfir Bibas turns one. He has been held hostage in Gaza for over 100 days. Far too long for anyone, especially a one year old. It is customary to recite the chapter of Tehillim corresponding to the number of years of life (your age+1). Let's read Kfir's new chapter, and pray for his safe and speedy return, along with all the other hostages. Leave a 🧡 in the comments when you've completed to help encourage others to say it as well.

WE DID IT!

No, we did not get to the finish line of $50,000, but I still consider this campaign a success. In Judaism, we don't only view success as getting to the finish line but how we get there and the experiences along the way, are a part of our success. As long as we are progressing in our lives and our Judaism, that itself is a success!

We raised $41,383 and it was a success.

A success of a community coming together to support Chabad, to support Judaism, to support the future of the Jewish community in Plymouth and Maple Grove!

But, we are not yet finished.

The campaign page will remain open until the end of December. If you haven't had a chance or would like to add to your contribution, please do so: www.jewishmaplegrove.com/grow

Our friends, family, acquaintances and community members here in Minnesota, thank YOU for being a part of our success, thus far.

Thank you so much for participating in our campaign and for supporting the future!

THANK YOU!

Rabbi Nissi and Mushka Naparstek

When the mind has been spinning and the heart has too many emotions to figure out...I turn to King David for words of inspiration. Today's prayer is Chapter 14 of Tehillim (Psalms). Read it in Hebrew or English, then leave a ✅ in the comments to encourage others to say it too.

As we start our day - the day when America takes time to focus on gratitude , we wonder can you feel (& express) gratitude while having a broken heart?! And the answer is YES! Our hearts ARE broken, and yet we have so much to be thankful for.

Blessed that we have moral clarity, blessed to be part of the side of goodness and truth, blessed to recognize kindness and love, blessed to be G-d's chosen people.

So with a broken heart we offer a prayer of thanksgiving and request to HaShem- to end all evil, and safely and bring true peace to our world.

This prayer which expresses our gratitude to G-d, is said every single morning upon awakening.

Comment with a ✅ when done.

Our hearts and minds are in Israel every minute of the day. We pray all day between work and making dinner.

Over the next few days I will post one short prayer a day. While you’re scrolling, take a few minutes to stop, close your eyes and pray.

Tehillim is a powerful tool in our times. Today we will focus on Chapter 54 of Tehillim (Psalms).
