Rabbi Gershon Avtzon writes: It is no secret that educational institutions and Chabad Houses need money to operate, function and grow. While the primary purpose of the institution is to cater to the spiritual needs and their students or congregation, it would not be possible without the special partner and funders giving their support. That is why so much time, effort, and energy is put into fundraising strategies and events that cultivate donors and grow the relationship between the institution and the donor • Full Article

In Bamidbar, we find ourselves immersed in the Torah’s counting of the Jewish people and all twelve tribes. The Shalo Hakodosh points out that this book is named after the census of the Israelites—a counting commanded by G-d, which, he writes, “is a significant act that can never be nullified.” But this act of counting is not simple.

The synagogue sexton, Asher Baghdadi, and his son ran back into the smoldering synagogue to gather the pages of the Crown. Eventually, in 1958 the codex was wrapped in cheesecloth and smuggled out by a dairyman to Israel. It arrived in Jerusalem and was delivered to the President of Israel. The incredible story of this Codex mirrors the story of our people • Full Article

Op-ed by rabbi Gershon Avtzon: This shabbas, Bamidbar 5785, is the Shabbas before the Yom Tov of Shavuos, when we celebrate the receiving of the Torah. The custom between Chassidim is to wish each other that we should accept the Torah with Simcha and “Pnimius” (it should affect us in a real and internal way). This would be an appropriate time to talk about an important topic in education: The importance of having joy and excellence in a part of learning and Yiddishkeit • Full Article

G-d willing, this upcoming Monday and Tuesday—June 2nd and 3rd, 2025—we will joyfully celebrate the major Holiday of Shavuot, 3,337 years since the giving of our Holy Torah, the greatest blessing ever bestowed upon us.

Rabbi Gershon Avtzon writes: It is at this time of the year that schools begin in earnest to focus on the upcoming year and to make sure that they have the right staff in place for the various classes and grades.

There are three main components of a successful teacher • Full Article

The relationship between the Torah and quantum mechanics is a subject that has fascinated both scientists and Torah scholars. In this article, I aim to show how the rules and wisdom of the Torah actually reflect and even anticipate some of the most foundational discoveries in quantum mechanics, the science that explores how the tiniest parts of our universe behave • By Rabbi Shlomo Ezagui •  Full Article

Quantum physics reveals that reality isn’t fixed—things remain undecided until observed. This powerful idea echoes a core Torah truth: the future is never sealed, and with prayer and faith, anything can change. By Rabbi Shlomo Ezagui • Full Article
