CHABAD LUBAVITCH OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH

In Kabala, it explains there are four categories that everything in this world is divided into 1) doimim- inanimate objects, i.g. rocks, etc. 2) tzomaich- vegetation, things that grow from the ground, i.g. grass flowers and trees 3) chay- animals 4) midaber- humans. Made up the tabernacle primarily out of vegetation and animal hide. Made up the Temple of inanimate objects. It is known that in the Temple, there were more significant revelations from G-d, being that made it primarily up of the lowest category, G-d was showing that his interest and our job and mission is to reveal G-dliness specifically into the weakest of all places and reveal how G-d is constantly recreating each thing and giving it life.

Mazal Tov! At Chabad of Sunny Isles Beach, we celebrated a Pidyon Haben last week. Every Jewish boy has a Bris on the eighth day, but did you know there is a special celebration for the firstborn boy when he turns thirty days old?  It is called a Pidyon Haben.  As the Mitzvah is prescribed in the Torah, the firstborn boy is redeemed for five silver coins from the Cohen. This is a commemorative of G-d sparing the Jewish firstborn during the final of the ten plagues in Egypt. For more information http://sunnychabad.org/pidyonhaben

Tuesday night was full of excitement at Chabad of Sunny Isles Beach, as Toby's Jewish Women's Circle got together for an exciting event. The theme was "Celebration of Light."  Toby began the evening by explaining the day's significance, as the corresponding Hebrew date was 19 Kislev. The day we celebrate the liberation of the first Chabad Rebbe from Czarist imprisonment. On this day, Chassidic philosophy gained freedom as well, as the Rebbe's teachings were vindicated. We celebrate as beneficiaries who can now enrich our lives and relationship with each other and Hashem.  "The unique gifts that women were bestowed with allow us to materialize the lofty ideas of Chassidic philosophy into practical outcomes," said Toby, as she introduced Rivkah Goldstein, a noted and famous author who spoke about bringing light into our marriage, parenting, and self-worth.
