Celebrating 95 years!
Inspiring Judaism with a smile!
Chabad-Lubavitch has been serving Winnipeg's Jewish community for almost a century. The Lubavitcher Shul on Magnus Avenue was founded in 1922. Under the leadership of Rabbi Avrohom Altein, the activities of Chabad-Lubavitch have grown to include a private day school, summer and winter day camps, an early childcare centre, adult education institute, Jewish library, kosher kitchen, community mikvah, family workshops, youth groups and holiday programming. Now operating from the Jewish Learning Centre in River Heights, Chabad-Lubavitch provides Jewish education, outreach and social service programming for thousands of families and individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and affiliations.
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 ChabadLubavitch, we think of all Jews as one - simply Jewish, no labels attached.
Become a partner in our important work! We are not supported by any central office nor do we charge membership. We depend entirely on charitable contributions from local individuals and corporations to cover our 1.3 million dollar operating budget. Behind each life we transform, there's someone-just like you--whose generosity made it possible. And 100% of every donation stays local for Winnipeg's Jewish community. Your kind and generous gift will enable us to share the beauty and depth of Judaism with the next generation.

A Message from Your Chabad Rabbis Greetings to our dear friends, It is our pleasure, on behalf of all of us at Chabad-Lubavitch, to send you our warmest greetings for the Jewish New Year 5777. Chabad-Lubavitch is part of an international organization on the front lines of Jewish education and activism. Now numbering over 2,500 centers around the globe, Chabad-Lubavitch provides care, inspiration, hospitality and knowledge to Jews from all walks of life. We hope this easy-to-read calendar will be useful to you, serve as an inspiration for the coming year and help you to appreciate our rich heritage. Within its pages you will find a month-to-month schedule of information on candle lighting times, a guide to the Jewish holidays and insights into our tradition. We fervently hope that these tidbits of Jewish laws, customs and insights will serve as a catalyst, and will stimulate the user to delve into the ocean of knowledge that is our rich heritage and faith. The calendar is another one of our educational and social service programs, which are all designed to make Judaism an accessible reality to all Jews, regardless of affiliation or background. May the Almighty grant each and every one of you and your families a healthy, happy and sweet New Year, and may you be inscribed in the Book of Life, Peace and Prosperity. Shanah Tova! Rabbi Avrohom & Brocha Altein Rabbi Boruch & Chana Heidingsfeld Rabbi Shmuly & Adina Altein
A Message from Mayor of Winnipeg

It is my pleasure to extend greetings to everyone using this calendar. I am particularly pleased to offer my warmest wishes for a happy and healthy Rosh Hashanah to Winnipeg’s Jewish community.
On behalf of Manitoba’s New Government, I am pleased to extend greetings to the members of our province’s Jewish community as you welcome a new year, with all of the joy and optimism the occasion inspires.
The goal of the Jewish Learning Institute to change the way people feel about being Jewish through learning and discovery and the Chabad Lubavitch commitment to “Judaism with a smile” are inspirational and welcoming for Jews and non-Jews alike. I would like to thank Winnipeg’s robust Jewish community for your support of local business, arts and culture. Our rich diversity makes Winnipeg a great place to live, work and raise a family.
Manitoba’s Jewish community is a vibrant contributor to Manitoba’s cultural mosaic, admirably preserving and promoting its heritage as a tribute to the past, a celebration of the present and a gift for the future. Organizations such as Chabad Lubavitch reflect the thriving spirit of cultural pride and philanthropy that enriches and strengthens our province.
On behalf of the City of Winnipeg and my City Council colleagues, I am happy to wish you ‘Shanah Tovah!

October 2016 ELUL 5776-TISHREI 5777 ROSH HASHANAH
SUKKOT
Rosh Hashanah (literally, the “head” of the year) is the beginning of the Jewish year – and the “birthday” of all of creation. It commemorates the creation of Adam and Eve, the first humans. Man was the first to acknowledge G-d’s kingship over the universe, and on Rosh Hashanah we renew this commitment to G-d and His commandments.
The name Sukkot is derived from the word Sukkah, or hut. In commemoration of the protective “clouds of glory” with which G-d surrounded the Jewish people on their way out of Egypt, we live in makeshift huts during the seven days of this holiday.
THE SHOFAR The sounding of the Shofar (the ram’s horn) is a central observance of Rosh Hashanah. The Shofar calls many things to mind: It symbolizes our coronation of G-d as King, it is a “wake up call” to return to G-d, and it heralds the coming of Moshiach, whose arrival will be heralded by the “Great Shofar”. YOM KIPPUR Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the Jewish calendar. It is a day of spiritual cleansing: We acknowledge our shortcomings and transgressions, with a firm resolution for a better future; G-d promises us forgiveness, and the chance for a fresh start. We refrain from work, and avoid any food or drink, as well as washing, using oils or lotions, marital relations and regular (leather) shoes.
510 Main Street Winnipeg, MB R3B 1B9 (204) 986-5232 mmorantz@winnipeg.ca
During Sukkot, we observe the special mitzvah of shaking the Lulav (palm branch) and the Etrog (citron). Taken together with the Hadas (myrtle) and the Aravah (willow), these very different plant species represent the unity of disparate types of Jews who, each in their own way, are vital components of the Jewish nation.
www.martymorantz.ca
SIMCHAT TORAH 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.

Torah Tots Jewish Preschool
TISHREI-CHESHVAN 5777
Give the little people in your family a strong Jewish foundation. 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.
Chabad Torah Tots is a community for children where the seeds of positive learning, proud Jewish identity, language communication, and independence are planted. We see each child entrusted into our care as a unique and precious gift with infinite potential to absorb, grow, and become. As a Manitoba licensed early childcare centre, we provide a uniquely Jewish experience which inspires all areas of development, producing a wellmannered, well-adjusted, happy and gracious individual.
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.�

December 2016 KISLEV-TEVET 5777 KISLEV 19 “Chassidic Rosh Hashanah”. Yartzeit of Rabbi Dov Ber of Mezritch, the second leader of the Chassidic movement (1772). Release from prison of Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, founder of the Chabad movement (1798). His triumphant release marked a turning point in the spreading of Chassidic thought, and this date is celebrated in many communities throughout the world. CHANUKAH 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 at the conclusion of Shabbat on December 24th. 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.

January 2017 TEVET-SHEVAT 5777 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 (1812). KOSHER Kashrut: Spiritual Diet for a Small Planet 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 literally hundreds and even thousands of products produced under kosher supervision. For more information about Kosher, or if you need help koshering your kitchen, please contact our office.

February 2017 SHEVAT-ADAR 5777 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 Chabad-Lubavitch 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 Israel: Grapes, Figs, Pomegranates, Olives, and Dates.
SHEVAT 22 Yartzeit of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneerson, wife of the Lubavitcher Rebbe (1988). 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 even 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.

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. 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) food 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.

April 2017 NISSAN-IYAR 5777 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 even owning) any foods which are chametz (leavened), and by participating in a Seder dinner on the first two nights of the holiday.
Tzivos Hashem Youth Groups We believe in the power of youth! Children discover the joy of Judaism with exciting handson educational experiences, in a stimulating, fun and creative atmosphere.
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. • We eat Shmurah Matzah, the plain 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.

May 2017 IYAR-SIVAN 5777 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 of the Exodus, during which our ancestors eagerly awaited the receiving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. PESACH SHENI 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. 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 communities throughout the world – this day is marked with festivities and bonfires. In particular, thousands journey to rejoice in the town of Meron, site of Rabbi Shimon’s resting place. THE FESTIVAL OF SHAVUOT 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. 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!
Taking care of the world’s most important money… yours.® scu.mb.ca
Bar/Bat Mitzvah Club Don't just celebrate a Bar/Bat Mitzvah... BECOME ONE! At Chabad-Lubavitch, we take a unique approach to Bar or Bat Mitzvah training, regardless of where the celebration and service will be taking place. Our emphasis in preparing B’nai Mitzvah is to foster an awareness that Bar/Bat Mitzvah is seen as the beginning, not the end.

Camp Gan Israel
June 2017 SIVAN-TAMMUZ 5777 TAMMUZ 3 Passing of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson (1994). The Rebbe’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. 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. LET’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 – this will hasten its arrival!
Where Jewish kids are happier and happy kids are Jewisher! Camp Gan Israel is both a summer and winter day camp that provides a great camping experience including sports, drama, crafts, swimming, and a whole lot more. Camp Gan Israel has been the camp of choice for hundreds of families of diverse Jewish backgrounds and affiliations for over 40 years. But more importantly, Gan Izzy is unique in that within the fun and excitement, it inspires a love and warmth of Jewish life.

The Mikvah @ Chabad
July 2017 TAMMUZ-MENACHEM AV 5777
The tradition of Mikvah and the laws of family purity are central to Jewish life.
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 is since celebrated throughout the Jewish world as a victory for Jewry and Judaism. A PERIOD OF MOURNING The 17th of Tammuz is observed as a day of fasting. 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. The entire period, totaling 21 days, is observed by not scheduling any weddings, as well as by avoiding festive music and dancing. TEFILLIN 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. 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.
Chabad-Lubavitch operates a ritual Mikvah exclusively for women at the southeast corner of its Jewish Learning Centre. With world-class amenities, contemporary furnishings and refreshing décor, the women’s Mikvah is stateof-the-art, conforms to the highest standards of Orthodox halachic ruling, and provides a modern, hygienic and luxurious experience in total privacy and comfort.

Shabbat Weekend Retreat
MENACHEM AV-ELUL 5777 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). From the beginning of the month of Av (excluding Shabbat), we refrain from consuming meat or wine and from various pleasurable activities as a sign of additional mourning. The Ninth of Av itself is observed as a fast day similar to Yom Kippur. We refrain from food and drink, as well as from wearing leather shoes, washing or showering, using oils or lotions, and marital relations. Additionally, on the eve of the fast, the scroll of Eichah (Lamentations) is read in the synagogue in a unique chant, which is mournful yet reassuring. Until noon we sit on low seats only, as a mourner does during Shiva. May we merit seeing the ultimate redemption and rebuilding of the Temple by Moshiach, now! AV 15 Several joyful events have occurred on this date, including the end of the 40-year decree upon the Jewish people to wander and die in the desert after leaving Egypt. This date is particularly joyful as it occurs just as we conclude the mourning period over the destruction of the Temple.
Experience an unforgettable and magical weekend! Join us at the luxurious Lakeview Hecla Resort for an unforgettable and worry-free community retreat. Relax with family, meet new friends and experience life unplugged. Together we will learn, laugh, grow, forge new friendships and create wonderful memories that will last a lifetime!

A handpicked team of rabbinical students visit Winnipeg each year to offer a Summer Yeshiva experience. It's Judaism unlocked; your pace, your subject, your Torah!
September 2017 ELUL 5777-TISHREI 5778 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 25-26 After midnight, we recite Selichot (special penitential prayers). We continue to recite Selichot every morning until Rosh Hashanah. ROSH HASHANAH Rosh Hashanah (literally, the “head” of the year) is the beginning of the Jewish year – and the “birthday” of all of creation. It commemorates the creation of Adam and Eve, the first humans. Man was the first to acknowledged G-d’s kingship over the universe, and on Rosh Hashanah we renew this commitment to G-d and His commandments. Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the Jewish calendar. It is a day of spiritual cleansing: We acknowledge our shortcomings and transgressions, with a firm resolution for a better future; G-d promises us forgiveness, and the chance for a fresh start. We refrain from work, and avoid any food or drink, as well as washing, using oils or lotions, marital relations and regular (leather) shoes.

It is considered a great mitzvah and responsibility to honor the Shabbat by lighting candles 18 minutes before sunset on Friday evening. Until marriage, women and girls light one candle. Post-marriage, women light (at least) two candles. Some add an additional candle for each child: e.g., a woman with three children lights five candles.
Blessings Before Lighting Shabbat & Yom-Tov Candles Blessed are You, L-rd our G-d, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments, and commanded us: before Shabbat
to kindle the lamp of the holy Shabbat before Rosh Hashana
to kindle the lamp of the Day of Remembrance before Rosh Hashana that falls out on Shabbat
to kindle the lamp of Shabbat and of the Day of Remembrance before Yom Kippur
to kindle the lamp of the Day of Atonement
before Yom Kippur that falls out on Shabbat
to kindle the lamp of Shabbat and of the Day of Atonement before Yom-Tov
to kindle the lamp of Yom-Tov
before Yom-Tov that falls out on Shabbat
to kindle the lamp of Shabbat and of Yom-Tov before Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, and before every Yom-Tov, except for the last two days of Pesach, say also this:
Blessed are You, L-rd our G-d, King of the universe, who has granted us life, sustained us, and enabled us to reach this occasion
