There’s just one week left until Passover. In Jewish homes all over the world the vacuum cleaner is whirring, the food processor is processing, and the sights and sounds and smells of Passover fill the air. 
But then there are the homes where this is all absent. They simply do not have the wherewithal to purchase basic Passover needs. Some of these homes are subsidized housing in seedy inner-city neighborhoods. But others are set on expansive lawns and have luxury cars parked in the driveways. Poverty can be found everywhere, and it is up to us to eradicate it. Please speak to me if you wish to contribute toward the Passover needs of a family in need. |

Chabad Weekly Update
Kiddush this Shabbos The shul kitchen has been koshered for Pesach, therefore we will be having an informal Kiddush this week sponsored by the Alter Family. Everyone is invited to join us for this beautiful weekly gathering!
Kiddush Sponsorship If you have not sponsored a Kiddush for a while and/or if you have a birthday, anniversary, or perhaps a Yarzeit you wish to mark, please respond to this message. Kiddush sponsorship begins at $180.
Our world-famous Hebrew School will be conducting its yearly model Seder this Sunday beginning at 9:30am. Everyone is invited to participate! Contact Morah Nechama for further information at [email protected].
We got a very special price this year on the hand-baked round Matzot from Israel. This year we will be selling it at $13 per pound (DOWN FROM $18 PER POUND LAST YEAR). If you want some simply respond to this message.
Appoint the Rabbi Your Agent to Sell Your Chametz NOW The Jewish people are forbidden from owning Chametz (leavened products including bread, pasta, and/or anything else made from grains) on Pesach. We are even forbidden from owning the vessels used to prepare or eat the Chametz. Instead of throwing everything away each year we are permitted to sell the Chametz to a non-Jew, who is permitted to own Chametz on Passover. All one has to do is lock away the Chametz in a place that the owner will not touch or see it, and appoint the Rabbi as the agent to oversee the transaction. Those who want Rabbi Eilfort to act in this capacity need to respond to this message appointing him to do this transaction and indicating the address and location where the Chametz will be kept for the duration of the holiday. The Chametz must be locked away no later than 11:30am on April 22nd, and may not be taken out until 8:30pm on April 30th. There is no charge for this service though donations are gratefully accepted. Hauling the Junk Away with Victor Victor Libraty has recently moved to Encinitas and has started a junk hauling and recycling business. Just in time for Pesach! If you have junk that needs to be removed call Victor at 760-815-7004. Tell him you saw his information in the Chabad Weekly Update! Passover Plans ‘16 The highlight of the holiday are the warm and traditional Sedarim (traditional Passover meals). When the rabbis, of blessed memory, codified the Seder, they managed to create the ultimate in interactive learning opportunities. The hands-on approach of the Seder, and the inclusive nature of the narrative, ensures that everyone – particularly the children – have a meaningful experience that will not only make a strong positive impression now, but will create positive lifelong memories. Everyone is invited to partake of our home-cooked, Kosher for Passover, community Seder. Information and reservations can be made by visitingwww.ChabadatLaCosta.com/Passover. If you have not yet received a confirmation email for the Community Seder it means that we did not receive your reservation. Please take care of that immediately to make sure you have a place at the table. Special Pesach Fund At this time of year it is has been a long-standing tradition amongst Jews the world over to give extra charity to help the poor for Passover. Passover needs tend to be more costly than some families can afford. It is for this reason that Chabad at La Costa will again be raising money for distribution. This fund is called “ Ma’ot Chitim,” which literally means money for bread. We need you to be as generous as you can to help the less fortunate Jews here and abroad. Perhaps you can donate $108 so a family can be sponsored for our communal Seder? Please go online and use the secure donation link at www.ChabadatLaCosta.com. G-d promises those who give charity that it as if they have made a personal loan to the Almighty, and He always pays back, with interest! A Passover Poem Our wine is wet, our matzah is round When you join us on Passover, the perfect Seder you’ve found. It is meaningful, upbeat, joyous, and happy.

Rabbi Eilfort will conduct the six course sessions. Strength and Struggle: Lessons in Character from the Stories of Our Prophets, a brand-new six-session course by the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute, explores six intriguing, disturbing, and controversial biblical personalities and events from the times of the Prophets: Jephthah’s daughter, the rise and fall of King Saul, Ruth’s migration to Israel, King David and Bathsheba, the wonders of Elisha, and Jonah and the fish. Through textual analysis and by exploring the ideas offered by classic biblical commentaries, this course offers a snapshot of the first Jewish commonwealth, an era that lasted nearly one thousand years, and probes the aforementioned personalities within their broad historical and sociological contexts, allowing us to reach deep into the essence of these figures and events. At first it may seem that these stories are full of questions. We will discover, however, that they are full of timeless answers to our innermost questions about life. Like all JLI programs, Strength and Struggle is designed to appeal to people at all levels of Jewish knowledge, including those without any prior experience or background in Jewish learning. All JLI courses are open to the public, and attendees need not be affiliated with a particular synagogue, temple, or other house of worship. Interested students may click here, call 760-943-8891 or visitwww.myJLI.com for registration and other course-related information.

If you need a Minyan to say Kaddish please give the office at least a few days notice. We are happy to provide this important service, but it takes time to arrange enough participants to assure the quorum is present. Please email [email protected] your request. Memorial Plaques & Tree of Life Plaques Available Our beautiful Memorial Boards have been installed. We specifically designed our custom-built bookcases to ‘frame’ each of the boards. The first Memorial Board was dedicated by the Brunelle Family and the new Board was dedicated by the Alter Family. We are currently offering Memorial Plaques to those who wish to perpetually honor the memory of a loved one in a most dignified and permanent manner. Those who dedicate Memorial Plaques will also receive yearly reminders of the Yarzeit and the light on the Board will be illuminated each year on the Yarzeit. We also have a gorgeous Tree of Life dedicated by the Lieberman Family that will shortly be going up. The purpose of the plaques on the Tree of Life is to commemorate joyous occasions (like Bar/Bat Mitzvah, anniversaries, special birthdays, weddings etc.). The donation is only $360 per plaque for the Memorial Board or $180 for the Tree of Life. Those who wish to participate should send an email to[email protected], or call Rabbi Eilfort at 760-943-8891. Cell Phones & Chatting During Services Needless to say the sanctuary on Shabbat or holidays is a place that must be conducive to reflective prayers and serenity. To help keep it this way, please refrain from engaging in any conversations during services and please do not bring in your cell phone. Thank you for your cooperation. Shul Etiquette Those who join us regularly for Shabbat services will agree that we have something very special going. The family-friendly atmosphere is unique and most inviting. We welcome everyone as though he/she is a long time member of the family. At the same time it is important to remember that we are a synagogue. Our sanctuary is meant to be a place where it is conducive to finding inner peace and tranquility. That is why the Rabbis have many laws concerning the decorum of a shul. It is appropriate to dress modestly and to dress somewhat formally in shul. Men should wear button down shirts, slacks (no jeans or shorts), with jackets and even ties when possible. Of course the head is to be kept covered at all times. Women should wear skirts that go past the knees and blouses with high neck lines and sleeves that cover the elbows. Married women should wear hats and the like. Children must be supervised at all times by the parents except during Junior Congregation (11:30am). While we want the children to have a great time together it is also important that they do not become so wild and/or boisterous that they disturb those of us who are participating in the services. We must remember that we should walk to shul and never park in the parking lot if there already eight cars parked. Finally, and we fully realize this goes against Jewish DNA, it is appropriate to come to shul ON TIME. While we know everyone is vying to be counted as the 10th, we are equally sure Hashem will give extra credit to those who come ON TIME at 10am (not to be confused with 11:30). We look forward to seeing you here! Please Patronize Our Sponsors Your Chabad Real Estate Agent & Mortgage Broker Jonathan Rozansky is a licensed realtor and mortgage professional.
