Rabbi Yosef Braun, rov of Crown Heights and a member of the Beis Din, is set to headline this year’s Tzama events at Binyanei HaUma in Yerushalayim. The Yud Tes Kislev event, now in its 17th year, draws enormous crowds from every sector of Israeli society.

29 Tishrei is the yahrzeit of Rabbi Schneur Chaim Hacohen Gutnick, a pioneering rov and dedicated shliach who played a central role in strengthening Yiddishkeit in Australia and beyond.

Shluchim in Lauderhill, Florida, joined community leaders and residents for a memorial event marking the anniversary of the October 7 attacks, offering words of inspiration and tefillos in memory of the victims.

On the date designated by many as the yahrtzeit of Reb Dovber Schneerson, brother of the Rebbe, shluchim, anash and representatives of the Jewish Community of Dnipro gathered at the mass grave where he is buried, on the grounds of the regional hospital in Igren, to honor his memory and the memory of the other innocent victims of the Nazi genocide.

The Rebbe held 42 farbrengens on Shabbos Bereishis. The sichos from these farbrengens span around 770 pages in the Yiddish Hanochos in Sichos Kodesh, and around 120 pages in the 14 English Hanochos.

Construction is moving ahead on a new learning space on Union Street near Kingston Avenue, at the site of the historic Kollel building behind 770. When completed, the climate-controlled beis medrash will provide seating for more than 300 bochurim and yungeleit, adding much-needed learning space just steps from 770.

When Rabbi Chaim Binyamini began to wonder whether his disciplined approach to education was too demanding for a changing world, the Rebbe encouraged him not to compromise, insisting that seder and eidelkeit were precisely the path he should continue.

A deadly missile strike launched by the Russian military against the city of Pryluky in Chernihiv Oblast in northern Ukraine killed 22 and caused extensive damage. Miraculously, none of the Jewish residents were injured.
