45th Annual South Florida Chanukah Festival Inspires & Uplifts A Sellout Arena Chabad of South Broward Jan 8, 2025 Dear Friend(s), The 45th Annual South Florida Chanukah Festival was nothing short of extraordinary, an unforgettable night brimming with energy, emotion, and inspiration that lit up the hearts of nearly 4,500 attendees in the sold-out arena – and thousands more worldwide who joined us online. Produced by Apex Creatives and led by the visionary Dovid Weinbaum, this spectacular event was a celebration like no other, igniting the spirit of unity and tradition in the most electrifying way imaginable. The evening kicked off with a stirring recitation of Torah pesukim, followed by the grand lighting of the Giant Menorah, beautifully led by Rabbi Yossi Lebovics, Principal of Chaya Aydel Seminary. This powerful opening ceremony set the stage for a night filled with unforgettable moments, joy, and connection. The energy skyrocketed as the Mendy Hershkowitz Band took the stage, with their performance fueling the crowd’s anticipation for the incredible musical journey ahead. That was just the beginning! The evening boasted a stellar lineup of superstars, including Avraham Fried, Shulem Lemmer, Alex Clare, Itzik Dadya, and Musical Director Yuval Stupel. Each artist brought their unique passion, electrifying the atmosphere and leaving the crowd astonished. One of the night's most unforgettable moments was the remarkable duets that demonstrated the incredible chemistry between the artists. The collaboration between Avraham Fried and Shulem Lemmer brought the house down, blending their soulful voices in a performance that resonated deeply with everyone. Avraham Fried and Alex Clare’s dynamic duet had the audience on their feet, while Shulem Lemmer and Itzik Dadya’s heartfelt moment struck a powerful chord, sending the waves of emotion through the arena. A surprise appearance by Mem, an active soldier in an elite IDF unit, took the evening to new heights, as his stirring performance captivated the audience and left a profound emotional imprint. When Shulem Lemmer dedicated a soulful rendition of “Mi Sheberach” to Mem and his fellow IDF soldiers, the entire arena stood still, united in prayer for protection and strength. The emotional bond between Mem and the audience created a moment that will forever be etched in our hearts. Rabbi Raphael Tennenhaus, Director of Chabad of South Broward, perfectly captured the essence of the evening, saying, “This festival is a testament to the power of light and unity. Jews from every background and affiliation came together tonight to celebrate our shared heritage and the miracles of Chanukah.” From the awe-inspiring menorah lighting to the unforgettable performances and deeply moving moments, the 45th Annual South Florida Chanukah Festival was truly a celebration of light, unity, and joy – a night that touched everyone and left us all inspired. We can't wait for next year’s celebration! Rabbi Raphael Tennenhaus Rabbi Moshe Schwartz Chabad of South Broward Previous Next

80 Years Of Remembrance: On January 27th, 1945, The Nazi Concentration Camp Of Auschwitz Was Liberated By The Soviet Red Army www.gov.il - Naomi Levy, GPO (Government Press Office) Feb 18, 2025 Pictured: The railway tracks used to transport Jews to the Auschwitz death camp in Poland. Credit: Moshe Milner, GPO During World War II (1939-1945), multiple Concentration Camps were established by the Nazis across Europe, the "Final Solution" to a problem they saw as unbearable: the Jewish existence. Adolf Hitler believed that eradicating Jews from the world would make it a better place, enforcing a monstrous ideology on the minds of influenceable men. Thousands blindly followed this narcissistic leader into discarding all human values, and unapologetically unleashed hell upon millions. Jewish men, women, and children were deported from their homes by their very own neighbors. Transported by the hundreds on trains, the innocent victims made their way to an inevitable doom – the Holocaust. Among the major camps were Chelmno, Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, and Auschwitz, which was divided into three sections: Auschwitz I – the beginning of the end: Jewish prisoners were separated from their loved ones upon arrival, forming groups by age and sex. There, the victims were given a striped prison uniform, their heads were shaved, and their arms were tattooed with numbers – replacing all traces of real identity. Auschwitz II Birkenau – an Extermination Camp where families were tortured and then wiped out completely. Most of the prisoners were executed in gas chambers. Auschwitz III Monowitz – a Labor Camp in which Jews were forced to work until abuse, exhaustion, or starvation claimed their lives. Over a million Jews were executed in Auschwitz between 1942 and 1944; very few survived to tell their stories. 80 years ago, antisemitism led to the greatest genocide of all time, resulting in the deaths of some six million Jews - a historical tragedy which impacted the fate of an entire people forever. 80 years later, antisemitism is still very much present and felt across the globe. Although Jewish people have tried assimilating, and are accepted in many countries, the insecurity is permanent; the fear of being targeted remains. The one place Jewish communities feel at home is the State of Israel. Every year, thousands of people move to the only democratic country in the Middle East in hopes of finding the exact same thing our ancestors were deprived of 80 years ago: the right to live freely and authentically in this world. As we commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we mourn the lives of those who were brutally murdered and those who never saw the light of day. Entire generations were erased, binding the Jews of today to never forget what was, and what could have been. Never Again. Naomi Levy, GPO (Government Press Office) Previous Next

The Most Influential Rabbi In History ... 31 Years Later By Rabbi Moishe Kievman - Chabad Chayil Jul 9, 2025 The 3rd of Tamuz, this year on Sunday, June 29th, marked the 31st Hilula of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Known affectionately and simply as The Rebbe, he was probably the most influential rabbi in history. With his Shluchim emissaries dispatched to every corner of the world, his impact is felt everywhere you turn. After the decimation of the Holocaust, the Rebbe breathed new life and vitality into the Jewish people, urging them (and demonstrating by example) to celebrate Judaism and live life optimistically, to ‘reclaim’ countless individuals and communities to living a Jewish way of life, and to feel personal responsibility for all others everywhere. In so doing, The Rebbe altered the much-prophesied demise of Judaism, forever shifting the course of history and transforming the landscape of Jewish life. The Rebbe took breathtaking responsibility for the material and spiritual welfare of Jews in the Soviet Union (including masterminding the exodus of thousands), Morocco, Iran, and more, while reaching out to Jews in Curacao, Japan, and Alaska... Israel’s leaders turned to the Rebbe for counsel on public health policies; military strategy; economy; relations with the U.S., Egypt, South Africa, Tunisia and more; and, above all, its educational system. Growing up in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, just a few short streets away from The Rebbe, I was fortunate to see The Rebbe all the time. I prayed with him in his Shul, sang by his Farbrengens, stood at his public gatherings and rallies, and watched every glimpse I could. As a child, I would look around at the thousands of people that would constantly come from all over the world to seek his counsel, hear his talks, or just to see his holy face; and I remember thinking how privileged I was to live right there. Every Sunday for hours,The Rebbe would stand, giving out dollars and blessings to thousands of people from all walks of life. He gave the dollar to be given to a charity of choice. People would of course exchange that dollar for one of their own to give to charity, and keep the dollar they got from The Rebbe’s holy hand as a sign of blessing. The Rebbe was remarkably accessible and counseled countless individuals from a wide array of backgrounds, including statesmen and artists as diverse as Ronald Reagan, Robert F. Kennedy, Yitzchak Rabin, Menachem Begin, Elie Wiesel, and Bob Dylan, as well as countless “nameless” individuals who were each showered with his individual attention and love. He spoke out about and was active in large public issues like public school education, charity for employees’ distribution, large families, moral education, the energy crisis, a universal moral code for all, creating and bolstering the Food Stamp/WIC system for America’s underprivileged, the responsibility of government, and much more. He believed and taught that the age-old ideals and text of Torah is as real and relevant today as it was at Sinai, 3,337 years ago. Today, thank G-d, The Rebbe’s teachings and ideals have already become ingrained in our society and inspire millions of Jews and non-Jews. More people than ever are learning his teachings and acting on his wishes of spreading Judaism to Jews, and moral ethics to all people. People of all walks of life flock to his Shul as well as his resting place (known as the Ohel) to pray to G‑d for blessing, guidance and inspiration. In 2013, on the night preceding his election to the Senate, Democratic candidate Cory Booker, an African-American Christian, went to pray at the Rebbe’s Ohel. In 2016, preceding his election, President Trump sent his family to pray at the Ohel on his behalf, but this time around he decided to go himself. Argentina President Javier Milei went to the Ohel before his election and continues to travel there to pray before his most important decisions. Go there any day, any time, and you will see people from all walks of life praying to G-d at that holy site. The Rebbe was a wide-ranging Torah personality whose vast knowledge spanned the entire spectrum of the Torah. His teachings include ideas in Jewish philosophy and theology, commentary on biblical, talmudical and kabbalistic texts, perspectives on world events, and moral and practical directives. At Chabad Chayil we have a text-based group study of The Rebbe’s teachings each Saturday right after Kiddush lunch, which all are welcome to join and thoroughly enjoy. Each week's class is on a different topic, containing super interesting subjects from all aspects of Torah, filled with surprises and always invigorating. Although the Rebbe was treated as royalty by all who met him, he personally lived modestly and even frugally. While presiding over a vast world empire of institutions and activity, his own Synagogue was simple and in major need of a face lift. As a child I always felt bad how simple his synagogue was, and made a promise to myself that when I can one day afford it, I would rebuild his synagogue in the most beautiful way.

They are the founders of Gan Chabad Preschool, your local CTeen & CKids chapters, CHAP - an afterschool program for Jewish children in Public Schools and direct Chabad Chayil.
