Lightin g t h e L a m p of J e wi s h Li f e Chabad-Lubavitch of Winnipeg opened its doors in 1972 and recently built the Jewish Learning Centre, a centre of Jewish living and learning. Motivated by a profound love for every Jew and spurred by a boundless optimism, Chabad-Lubavitch sets into motion a dazzling array of educational programs and social services, providing spiritual warmth, joy and purpose to Jews from all walks of life, regardless of background, affiliation, or level of commitment.
Insp ir i n g J ud a i sm w i t h a S m i l e Affiliated with the worldwide Chabad-Lubavitch movement, a workforce that comprises many thousands of representatives with over 3300 institutions operating in 83 Countries, Chabad-Lubavitch pioneered the notion of modern Jewish outreach and is considered to be the most dynamic force in Jewish life today. Chabad-Lubavitch does not believe in separating Jews into factions of Orthodox, Conservative and Reform. Those terms are labels and labels are divisive. Labels are for shirts, not for people. At Chabad-Lubavitch, we think of all Jews as one - simply Jewish, no labels attached.

SIMCHAT TORAH
THE YEAR OF HAKHEL
Simchat Torah marks the day we complete the reading of the Torah in its annual cycle. On the evening of Simchat Torah, (and in many communities, on the previous evening of Shemini Atzeret as well) we make seven Hakafot (circuits) around the table upon which the Torah is read, dancing and rejoicing with the Torah scrolls. During morning services on Simchat Torah, we complete the Torah, reading the last Torah portion. We immediately start reading the Torah from the beginning again–remembering that the Torah is an endless source of wisdom, each cycle challenging us to discover its ever deeper meaning.
The Jewish year 5776, which began this past Rosh Hashanah, follows the year of Shmitah, the Sabbatical year, and is known as the year of Hakhel.
CHESHVAN 11 Passing of our Matriarch Rachel, wife of Yaakov. Rachel passed away in 1563 BCE as Yaakov was returning home to his parents. She is buried in Bethlehem.
During the Temple times, a special service was held in Jerusalem on the second day of Sukkot. The entire nation, men, women, and even children gathered as the king read selected verses of the Torah, reminding everyone of our commitment to following its teachings. This gathering, like the Sabbatical year which preceded it, occurred once in seven years, and the entire year was called the year of Hakhel (gathering). Though this mitzvah isn’t practiced today, it is customary for there to put an extra focus on Jewish unity during the year of Hakhel, especially through gatherings in which words of Torah are shared.

THE WEEKLY TORAH READING According to our tradition, the custom of reading from the Torah in the Synagogue every Shabbat is one of the oldest Jewish customs, instituted by Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses) himself. The Torah was divided by Moshe into 54 portions, which is the maximum number of regular readings possible during a Jewish calendar year. The regular cycle is suspended during Jewish holidays, when we read holiday themed portions instead. Most years, it becomes necessary to occasionally group two portions together in order to complete the cycle on time for Simchat Torah. Our lives are built around the calendar cycles: The year, the month, the week. Every day, the current Torah Reading offers a fresh source of inspiration. Though repeated again and again, there is always a new insight, a new guidance, a new commentary on the here and the now. This is the Jewish way of “living with the times.” SHABBAT AND FESTIVAL CANDLES Throughout the ages, light has stirred the imagination of poets, mystics, scientists and psychologists. Because its nature is so different from other material entities, it is often used to describe spiritual insight. Shabbat is a day of light; its pattern and value-orientation is different from the other days of the week. Thus it is the lighting of the Shabbat Candles that ushers in this state of awareness and inspires us to feel the way it permeates our lives. The mystics call this day of light the Shabbat Queen, and the responsibility for lighting the candles and inducing this change of perspective is the woman’s. It is she who welcomes the Shabbat Queen into the home. Young girls, from the age of three or younger, are encouraged to light their own candles, to involve and educate them in this profound and beautiful mitzvah. The Shabbat Candles are lit 18 minutes before sunset.

The kindling of the Menorah is the focal point of the Chanukah holiday, symbolizing religious freedom and the strength of the Jewish spirit. The menorah is kindled on each of the eight nights of Chanukah, this year beginning Sunday night, December 6th. The Menorah is placed at the left side of a central doorway of the home, or at the front window. The candles should be lit immediately following sunset, and should be prepared so that they will remain lit for at least a half hour after dusk. In keeping with Shabbat observance, the Menorah is lit before the Shabbat candles on Friday evening and after the Havdalah ceremony at the end of Shabbat. Gather all family members and light the Shamash, the service candle. Recite the proper blessings and then light the candles beginning from the left. Then place the Shamash at its designated place, separated from the other candles. TEVET 10 Observed as a fast day. On this date, Jerusalem was placed under siege by the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar, resulting in the destruction of the First Temple (422 BCE).

TEVET 24 Yartzeit of Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, founder of the Chabad movement (1813). SHEVAT 10 Yartzeit of Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, sixth leader of Chabad Lubavitch (1950). Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak fought to preserve Jewish life in the U.S.S.R. until he was imprisoned, threatened with his life, and finally forced to leave (1927). In 1940 he came to the United States and established the network of ChabadLubavitch educational institutions throughout the U.S.A. and across the world. This day also marks the beginning of the leadership of his son-in-law Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, known as the Lubavitcher Rebbe. SHEVAT 15 – TU B’SHEVAT In Jewish tradition, the fifteenth day of Shevat marks the “New Year” for the trees, opening the season in which trees begin to bud in the Holy Land. It is customary to celebrate this date by enjoying some fruit, especially the five fruits mentioned in the Torah in connection with the Land of Israel: Grapes, Figs, Pomegranates, Olives, and Dates.

THE JEWISH CALENDAR The Jewish calendar is the only calendar to which both the monthly and annual units are governed by real astronomical events: The lunar month, and the solar year. The word for month in the Torah is either chodesh (“renewal”), or yerach (“moon”), both hinting at a lunar month. At the same time, the Torah commands us to ensure that the holiday of Passover always occurs in the spring, hinting at a solar year.

PURIM The actual story of Purim, as told in the Scroll of Esther, is as fascinating and spellbinding as any best seller. Yet, though it is sacred scripture, we do not find the name of G-d mentioned even once! But within the intricate details of the Megillah, we can detect the unmistakable hand of Divine Providence. And the closer we examine the story, the more we discover that even seemingly insignificant events are precisely arranged by the hand of the Almighty. THE MITZVOT OF PURIM ARE: • The Fast of Esther, held before Purim, to commemorate the day of prayer and fasting which the Jews held before their victory. • Listen to the reading of Megillat Esther (the Scroll of Esther) at night and day, recounting the story of Purim. • Send gifts containing at least two types of ready-to-eat Kosher foods to one or more friends on the day of Purim. These gifts, called Mishloach Manot (“sending portions”), should preferably be sent via a third party. • Give Matanot L’evyonim (“gifts of charity to the poor”). While Tzedakah (charity) is a year-round responsibility, it is a particularly special Mitzvah on Purim. Give to at least two needy individuals during Purim day. • Celebrate with a special festive and joyous meal.

NISAN 11 Birthday of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson (1902). CELEBRATING PESACH (PASSOVER) On Pesach we celebrate the birth of the Jewish nation with our miraculous redemption from Egypt. Pesach is celebrated by refraining from eating (or evening owning) any foods which are chametz (leavened), and by participating in a Seder dinner on the first two nights of the holiday. THE SEDER The Pesach Seder, conducted each of the first two nights of Pesach, is the central event of the Passover festival. • We drink four cups of wine (or grape juice), remembering the redemption and its four stages. • We ask the “Four Questions” and recite the Haggadah, retelling the story of Passover and the miracles of our redemption.
APRIL 2016
• We eat Shmurah Matzah, unleavened bread which isn't allowed to rise, remembering both the simple bread of slaves and the swiftness of the redemption from Egypt. • We eat Maror (bitter herbs), remembering the bitterness of the enslavement. THE LAST DAY OF PESACH The eighth and final day of Pesach is associated with the ultimate redemption through Moshiach, and our fervent hope for its imminent arrival. In many communities, a festive “Moshiach Meal” is organized toward the evening, to emphasize this day’s special dimension. WE ARE HERE TO HELP Contact our office for more information about removal and sale of chometz, shmurah matzah, Seder preparations, or anything else you need to know about the holiday.

COUNTING OF THE OMER:
Beginning the second evening of Pesach, we count seven weeks until the arrival of the festival of Shavuot. They correspond to the seven weeks, starting from the night after the Exodus, during which our ancestors eagerly awaited the receiving of the Torah at Mount Sinai.

When the Holy Temple stood in Jerusalem, this day offered a second chance to offer the Passover sacrifice for those who had been unable to bring their offering at the appropriate time.
Kashrut: Spiritual Diet for a Small Planet
IYAR 18 – LAG BA’OMER On this date, in the early 2nd century, the students of Rabbi Akiva, the greatest sage of that era, ceased to die from an epidemic. Years later on this same date, his student Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, Mishnaic sage and author of the Zohar (the seminal work of Kabbalah) passed away. Having fulfilled his mission in this world he asked that the anniversary of his death be celebrated as a joyous occasion. Throughout the Land of Israel – and indeed in Jewish

For our physical wellbeing, few things are as important as a healthy diet. But the Kosher laws offer the soul similar benefits, and more. The mystical masters teach us that everything we eat has a bit of holiness – a “spark” of Divine energy released when we eat foods prepared in accord with the kosher laws. Just as the body responds to the quality of the food that fuels it, so too the soul: With appropriate foods prepared in the prescribed manner, we absorb the Divine nourishment that makes for a healthy spirit. Adapting your diet to a kosher life style is easier than you might imagine. The shelves of your local supermarket are stocked with

THE FESTIVAL OF SHAVUOT:
TEFILLIN
Shavuot celebrates the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. It is on this day that we became G-d’s “chosen people”, and He formed a bond with us which shall never be broken.
Tefillin, or phylacteries, are donned every weekday by Jewish men and boys over the age of 13. The Torah describes Tefillin as a sign, a public statement of Jewish involvement. By donning Tefillin daily, an individual gives expression to his basic feeling of Jewish identity and its importance to him.
SHAVUOT OBSERVANCES: • All-night Torah-study on the first night of Shavuot. This is the best preparation for receiving the Torah! • Reading of the Ten Commandments in the synagogue on the first day of Shavuot. Bring your children too! • A festive dairy meal is served on the first day of Shavuot. Like milk for an infant, we receive all our spiritual nourishment from the Torah!
The Tefillin are placed on the arm facing the heart, and on the head. This signifies the binding of one’s emotional and intellectual powers to the service of G-d. The straps, stretching from the arm to the hand and from the head to the legs, signify the transmission of intellectual and emotional energy to the hands and feet, symbolizing deed and action.

TAMMUZ 3 Passing of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson (1994). The Rebbeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution to Jews and Judaism in this generation is immeasurable. Under his leadership and guidance, thousands of young couples have dedicated their lives, through the global network of Chabad Lubavitch institutions, to spread Yiddishkeit throughout the globe. His vision and promise of an imminent redemption, and a world filled with G-dliness, peace and harmony continues to inspire millions throughout the world. Through our efforts, it shall surely soon become a reality. TAMMUZ 12 Birthday of Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak, sixth leader of Chabad Lubavitch (1880), and his release from Bolshevik imprisonment (1927). He was imprisoned and threatened with his life for his struggle to preserve Judaism in the Soviet Union. His release was celebrated throughout the Jewish world as a victory for Jewry and Judaism. A PERIOD OF MOURNING The 17th of Tammuz is observed as a fast day. On this date, in the year 68, the walls of Jerusalem were breached by the Romans after years of siege. The Jewish forces continued to defend the Temple Mount for another 19 days, until it too fell on the 7th of Av. The Beit HaMikdash, the Holy Temple, was torched late on Av 9. This entire period, totalling 21 days, is observed by not scheduling any weddings,
uwwga, zun,qiuhx
as well as by avoiding festive music and dancing. This year, because the fast days fall on Shabbat, they are both postponed to Sunday. THE UPCOMING REDEMPTION The belief in the upcoming redemption is one of the foundations of our faith, and has been promised to us by almost every one of our prophets, beginning with Moses himself. Maimonides included it in his famous Thirteen Principles of the Jewish Faith. Throughout the ages, even during the most trying times, our ancestors have always prayed for and looked forward to the coming of Moshiach, our redeemer. LETâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S WELCOME MOSHIACH Led by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, many prominent Rabbis proclaimed this generation to be the one to usher in the redemption. We can prepare for this special time by studying the relevant passages in the Torah and its commentaries, and by increasing in acts of goodness and kindness. This will not only help us prepare for the redemption â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this will hasten its arrival!

TISH’A B’AV – THE NINTH OF AV The Ninth of Av has been a sad day on the Jewish calendar from the earliest days of our history as a people. Just one year after our forefathers left Egypt, it was on this date that G-d punished that generation, decreeing that they would wander the desert for forty years, never entering into the Holy Land. The focus of our mourning, however, is on the destruction on this date of both the first Temple (422 BCE) and the second Temple (68 CE).

ELUL The month of Elul is the time to reflect on the passing year, to examine our behavior and to correct any shortcomings. In synagogues throughout the world, extra prayers are recited daily and the Shofar is sounded every weekday. THE KING IS IN THE FIELD When the king leaves his guarded palace and travels through the fields, he makes himself accessible to all – and the people stop what they are doing and come out to greet him, excited by the rare opportunity to see their king up-close. During the month of Elul, G-d is more accessible to us, His people. This notion compels us to stop and reach out to him through repentance, prayer and charity. ELUL 18 Known as Chai Elul, the “life” of Elul. Birthday of Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov (1698), founder of the Chassidic movement, and of Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi (1745), founder of the Chabad movement. ELUL 21-22
