Dear Community,

WATCH: Tennis & Teffilin | In 1970, Rabbi Sholom Ber Lipskar was sent to Florida as a Chabad emissary, where he continues to serve as the rabbi and director of The Shul in Bal Harbour. One day, a member of his community—a champion tennis player—invited him to meet a wealthy friend. When the man refused to put on Tefillin, Rabbi Lipskar proposed a bet: if he won the tennis match, he would agree to put them on. That wager—and putting on Tefillin—sparked a relationship that extended far beyond their first encounter. In fact, the impact of that meeting continues to benefit hundreds of children to this day.

Dear Community,

In recent weeks, the U.S. administration has shown strong support for Israel, backing its right to take necessary action.

In June 1982, after relentless PLO terror attacks, President Reagan gave Israel a similar window of opportunity. The Rebbe urged Israel’s leaders not to squander it.

📢 A short presentation on how—and how NOT—to leverage America’s support. (Hint: It won’t last forever!)
