Mazal Tov!

We would like to wish Mazal Tov to the Jacobson family upon the birth of a baby boy: Gavriel Noach, he is named after the Shliach in Mumbai India Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg which was brutally murdered in Nov 2008. May he grow up to be a CHAYAL and Shalich of the Lubavitcher Rebbe.

Break of the Fast at JRC

Tonight we all gathered at the JRC for a Minyan Where Eli from Israel said Kaddish for his dear father which worked in the IDF air force, he was a kind man which did favors for many people. We then had a delicious break of fast after services.

Shabbos with Matisyahu

Here is a pose of the congregants of JRC with Matisyahu. He came to Des Moines to perform at the 80/35 festival. We had an amazing Shabbos with him.

May I pray on your behalf

This Thursday, the third of Tammuz, June 25, marks the Fifteenth Yahrtzeit of
our beloved Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson of blessed
memory (for more info visit: www.therebbe.org).

The *yartzait* of a dedicated, loving Jewish leader is an auspicious day and
a *time* when prayers are answered.

The resting place of a tzadik, is a special *place* where prayers are heard
and answered.

As in the years past, I will be visiting the Rebbe's resting place in New
York--together with tens of thousands of people--on this auspicious day; to
pray for our needs and rededicate ourselves to the Rebbe's lifelong legacy
of making this world a better, holier, more loving world.

I WOULD LIKE TO PRAY ON YOUR BEHALF AS WELL

If you would like me to do so, please SEND ME YOUR NAME AND MOTHER'S
NAME (preferably in Hebrew) and any special request you have (material or
spiritual) so that I can include you in my prayers.
May all our prayers be answered speedily, and may the world reach its
spiritual fulfillment with the coming of Moshiach now!
