A perusal of the Rebbe’s teachings reveals a pattern. The Rebbe would often encourage people to strive for what appears to be impossible: humility coupled with decisiveness, dizzying alacrity alongside patient attention to detail, intense Torah study leading to extensive interactions with others, and lofty spiritual inspiration paired with pragmatic groundedness. Perhaps it was no surprise that the Rebbe devoted his life to bringing about the coming of Moshiach, which will be the ultimate fusion of opposites, when the infinite G-d will His home in our puny little world. May it happen soon. |
This Shabbat is a very meaningful day. It marks 22 years since the passing of our Rebbe, of righteous memory.| Volume 17 Number 42, 2nd of Tammuz 5776, July 8th '16 | |

6-23-16 Dear Friend & Supporter, We have had an exciting year here at your Jewish Center. So many programs – so many services, so many classes, so many parties, etc., but, and this is a big but, we have so much more to do! This is going to be a very big year. We are poised to offer more Jewish opportunities than ever before to you, our shul family. Now, on to the business at hand. Everything that we do/provide to the community costs us money. We know that you already know this, but we have a mortgage that costs money, the electricity costs, the phone costs, the Internet access costs, the books cost, the food costs, and the gas in my car costs money. Due to these costs (and many more like them) we need friends to partner with us so that we can accomplish all that needs to be accomplished. Not to put too fine a point on it, but we need YOU. YOUR support is our lifeblood. Of course we want more than just your money (“More than just my money?!,” you exclaim.). Yes, more than just your money. First of all we don’t want all of your money – just a small percentage actually. Secondly, we want your participation! That means you coming to all (or at least some) of the wonderful things mentioned above is also extremely important and demonstrates your support. With all of the above in mind PLEASE take a moment and fill out the Membership Form and Calendar Ad Form found on our website, www.chabadatlacosta.com, ASAP. Those simple documents help us know where we stand and where we should be going to help better serve you and your family’s needs. All joking aside, please make the commitment to become an official member this year. G-d bless you and your family with all manner of good, particularly good health, happiness, and success in all of your positive endeavors! Sincerely, Rabbi Yeruchem Eilfort Jewish Art Calendar /Article.asp?AID=2647103 We are now collecting ads for our gorgeous Jewish Art Calendars. Brenda Joseph will be helping manage this year’s edition so we expect it to be the best yet. Not only are the calendars lovely to look at, but they are full with information about Jewish holidays, special events, and even recipes! The special touch that we have is the personalization where we can add your own birthdays, anniversaries, or the Yahrzeits of those you love. We are also looking for a sponsor/dedication for this year’s calendar. Participating in the calendar is an important way to support the Shul as well as advertise your business or personal event. Please call the office today for pricing information at 760-943-8891. The deadline for all orders is July 31st! All business ads paid for before July 15th receive a 10% discount. Special Wishes WE REMEMBER our Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson (Menachem Mendel ben Levi Yitzchak) whose Yarzeit we commemorate this Shabbos. It is appropriate to light a memorial candle in the Rebbe’s memory this evening before lighting Shabbat candles. It is also appropriate to put some extra coins in the Tzedakah box and study some Torah on Shabbos – in the Rebbe’s merit. May his memory be a blessing! HAPPY BIRTHDAY wishes go out to all of those celebrating their birthdays this week! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY wishes go out to all of those celebrating their anniversaries this week! We remember Marcus Mintz, Joseph Mark, Sid Weksler, and Erna Berliner, and all of those who have a Yarzeit this week. May Fran Sekela, Roz Mintz and Mel Bridge be blessed with a full and complete recovery! ### Hebrew School Give your children the Jewish education that they deserve! Our Sunday Hebrew School offers lots of hands-on activities and positive reinforcement. Students learn Hebrew language skills, Jewish living and observance, Jewish history, and so much more! We include arts & crafts, field trips, and holiday programming to make their experience even more enjoyable. Your child will have fun as he or she gains an appreciation for the ‘why’s and ‘how’s of Judaism. Our students want to be here! Need a Minyan? 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 Yahrzeit and the light on the Board will be illuminated each year on the Yahrzeit. 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.
