Boruch Dayan Hoemes - Shluchim Rabbi Gavriel and Rivka Holtzberg OBM

Through tears i am screaming.....We NEEED Moshiach Now!!!!!!! Enough is Enough.

Rosh Chodesh Kislev

Today is the day the Rebbe "went home". The Rebbe suffered a major heart attack 1977 and stayed in his office of 770 for 5 weeks recovering. I am thinking of this today because of our fellow Shluchim in Mumbai. I am sure by now most have heard the devasting news and i pray that Hashem will help these young Shluchim. The Rebbe said in times like this we must think in this Chasidic manner......“Think positive, and it will be positive.” The truth is as i am trying to be positive but i am devistated. Today has been a day... My family was all suppose to go to NY for a wedding and Shabbos, but my baby has croup and i am also feeling yuck also. I stayed home with the baby and my husband and older son went. I have been home all day missing my family and wishing i was with them. Due to my sad ways today i have been glued to the computer waiting for updates from Mumbai. Since i am at home all day i have no distactions and i am becoming obssesed. I just want them all to be safe. Is that asking so much Hashem? Updates here

New video...

I found this video add for Malibu Chabad and i love it. I guess its based on an Obama add, i really don't know since i did not follow the election. I think its interesting because just recently on Frumhouse there was a post here about the way yidden feel about public menorahs and other Chanukah stuff. I tried to express how i felt in a comment on her blog but i really think this video sums it up for me. By the way if you need a Menorah please contact me i will send you one for free, and maybe some other crafty goodies also!

Ummm i'm really not sure what to think...

These posters went up this week in Crown Heights. Now i understand the tznius issue Lubavitchers are having, but with all that said is this the best approach. I felt it was so inappropriate, and really if i didn't dress tznius for say would i then read this poster and say " oh wow now i'm going to wear longer skirts". There is something so much deeper going on with our Shluchas so much more than this. Come on N'shai Chabad get it together. I thought this reader comment on crown heights info really summed it up. Click on the image to see the full poster. What do you think??

who put these signs up? who approved them the rabonim?since when is this a chasidishe approach? you are quoting the Rebbe, Reb ZS Dworkin, and the torah. how about checking with them if this is the proper approach. the Rebbe gave very specific directive of how to deal with this issue, y dont we just follow that. people dont need to live in ch for this type of life. there r other sects of Judaism and neighborhoods for ppl to go and abide by these type of signs. and y not tell the men not to touch their beards, and not to where tight fitting clothing etc. this is so gehtto like, and klein keppeldik. it does not deal with the core issue. we need mashpiem, we need role models! there needs to be ppl we can look up to and speak to, and that have knowledge and inspiration to speak to us. speak to the woman and girls, inspire them. encourage the men to ensure this as u say “ with soft words, and yet with determination”. this is humiliating, telling ppl in the street for all practical purposes to put on stockings!? how do u think that will work? what about the outsiders that see these signs? how do u think they will feel? well the same way they feel about coming to any closed off frum neighborhood like, new square. so it wont do much for nishei ubnos chabad and it wont help bring others closer to chabad. what is the goal? this is so ugly!v

Follow me

I need followers. My little follower tab looks so sad . You don't even have to follow me for real just add me so i don't look like the girl sitting at the lunch table alone.

Are you in a centerpiece mood, because i'm not

After making 23 centerpieces for a Chabad banquet. I will happily enjoy a centerpiece free table this Shabbos at my house, because if i look at one more centerpiece one more time i might loose it. I was happy to recycle these branches from my son's Bar Mitzvah. It is amazing how the same thing can have such diffrent looks. See Bar Mitzvah post below

My baby is getting so big!!!

My little guys 2nd birthday is coming i can't believe it. I've decided to have a Mitzvah car theme because he loves cars and Mitzvahs! I know i shouldn't make such a big party the year before his Upersherin , but i love birthdays and to me every year is a big deal! Anyways i wanted to show the invitation i made i think its just as cute as him!

Procratinating Posting....

I feel like such a procrastiposter ( i just made that word up) but the truth is i just haven't found the time. I am working so hard to get illustrations done and printed up for a little project i'm working on and my little Cheder is a huge time consumer, but honestly the time change is my enemy. When it gets dark i feel like i should be getting ready for bed, but low and behold its only 4:30. Uggg i guess the Arizona in me is still fighting the concept of " changing the clocks".
Anyways i haven't been posting as much, because well i haven't been so crafty lately .... but then i thought about it all i am is crafty day in and out ... Hello i teach preschool. So i thought maybe i should start posting some of my classromm crafts. I thought i'd start with my bulliten board. I think these menchies are so cute and i love them.....
