Commemorating the Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka's 30th Yahrtzeit this week, many of the "Shluchos" - the Rebbetzins of the world - the Rebbe's emissaries - are in New York for the International Conference of Shluchos.
Each
of these amazing women have dedicated their lives to making Judaism real, joyful and practical to millions of Jews the world over! To them, every Jew is important.... and no Jewish child is ever left behind...
So while Rochy will be spending Shabbos with 3000 of her "closest
friends" (and, representing the community, Bracha is there too), THE BOYS (and a yummy little girl!) ARE HOME! Shmuly, Zalmy, & Chany will make sure you'll have an enjoyable Shabbos. It won't be the same as the girls do it, but with "a boys' twist, it should be fun!" (You might just get pringles for dinner!) Services and dinners will take place at the regular times (see below)!

On the lighter side:
Mordechai, his wife and their three children have just finished their shopping and decide to get a taxi back home.
He
hails a cab and says to the driver, "If you turn off the meter, how much will you charge to drive us to Brooklyn?"
"For you and your wife, I'll charge just $12," says the taxi driver, "and I'll take the 3 children for free. Is that OK?"
Mordechai
turns to his children and says, "Jump into the taxi, children, this nice man will take you home. Your mother and I will take the bus."

Parshah A Hypersensitive People Did you know that G-d would rather you cooked pork chops than a cheeseburger? That’s right. There is no biblical
injunction against cooking pork—although eating it is absolutely forbidden... But it is forbidden to even cook meat together with milk.
Following the revelation at Sinai, G‑d legislates a series of laws
for the people of Israel. These include the laws of the indentured servant; the penalties for murder, kidnapping, assault and theft; civil laws pertaining to redress
of damages, the granting of loans and the responsibilities of the “Four
Guardians”; and the rules governing the conduct of justice by courts of law.
Also included are laws warning against mistreatment of foreigners;
the observance of the seasonal festivals, and the agricultural gifts that are to be brought to the Holy Temple in Jerusalem; the prohibition against cooking meat
with milk; and the mitzvah of prayer. Altogether, the Parshah of Mishpatim contains 53
mitzvot—23 imperative commandments and 30 prohibitions.
G‑d promises to bring the people of Israel to the Holy
Land, and warns them against assuming the pagan ways of its current inhabitants.
The people of Israel proclaim, “We
will do and we will hear all that G‑d commands us.” Leaving Aaron and Hur in charge in
the Israelite camp, Moses ascends Mount Sinai and remains there for forty days and forty nights to receive the Torah from G‑d.
