As these lines are being written, our extended Jewish family is under fire. Rockets are raining down on Israeli cities and war looms.
Every Jew is asking him or herself: What can I do to help? The Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, taught us the power of a mitzvah.
Let us not underestimate the power of good! With a single good deed on our part, here and now, we can each contribute toward the victory and safety of our fellow Jews in Israel.
Here are 3 suggestions: You can study Torah, say a prayer, give charity and help someone in need.
Tonight, 8:00 PM, Chabad of Tucson will be holding a Men's Farbrengen Night at the home of Rabbi Yossie Shemtov at 2411 E Elm Street.
Farbrengen is an informal Chassidic gathering characterized by inspirational songs, uplifting talk and stories, L'chaim and refreshments.
Israel will be on our minds and Rabbi Shemtov will be speaking about what our collective Jewish response should be.
(In addition, if you are inspired to put on Tefillin, stop by Cong. Young Israel from 4:30PM until sunset and we'll help you do the mitzvah).
