Lubavitch Talmud Torah Classes Show Increased Enrollment
The new school year, begun
a few months ago, saw an in
crease in Lubavitch Talmud
Torah enrollment. Over 50 stu
dents are now enrolled and
learning Judaica on a regular
basis.
The program features a
unique and creative approach
to teaching Judaica and has
won praise from both parents
and children. “My children
have developed an exciting
positive attitude towards
Judaism,” said one parent, at
tributing the success to the
Lubavitch program.
Three times a week, the stu
dents meet with their teachers
to explore the world of
Judaica. In just a short time
they have learned to read,
write and understand Hebrew.
The younger children leam
with Mariashi Groner and
Chanie Weiss.
Both Chanie and Mariashi
have excelled in their teaching
skills, especially in their rap
port with the children. The
children also work with ex
citing Jewish arts and crafts
projects and have created a
wonderful collection of holiday
objects.
The older students are
studying with Rabbi Binyo-
min Weiss. They have been
learning Torah with commen
tary, Jewish history and phil
osophy. Rabbi Weiss also
tutors students for Bar Mitz-
vah with a supplementary pro
gram.
m
Robby Sachs and Matthew Sands hold the Torah as other Talmud Torah children form a circle.
Simchat Torah and Succoth Celebrated with Special Programs
The Hebrew month of Tish-
rei is packed with Jewish
holidays, of which each has its
own destinction with its own
observance. Beginning with
the solemn day of Rosh Hash-
anah and Yom Kippur, and
culminating with joyous days
of Succoth and Simchat
Torah.
This year’s Simchat Torah
celebration at the Chabad
House on October 3 was very
joyous. It started with a grand
kiddush and festive meal with
a variety of holiday foods.
There was plenty of L’chaim
and schnapps for the 150 who
participated in this joyous
event. Soon after the meal,
which was served buffet style,
the fun began. Reciting the
verses of “Atoh Horaiso” and
the dancing with the Torah,
the children were hoisted upon
the shoulders of the dsmcers.
With flags in hand, they sang
and clapped the night away.

Simchat Torah in Brooklyn,
New York was spectacular at
the Lubavitch World Head
quarters. Over 15,000 people
jammed the main sanctuary to
participate in the celebration
with the Jewish leader, Rabbi
Menachem M. Schneerson, the
Lubavitcher Rebbe. Among
the many joyous celebrants
who came from all over the
world was Edward I. Koch,
Mayor of New York City.
The dancing and singing
lasted all evening up to the
early hours of morning. The
Rebbe emphasized that the
joy of Simchat Torah must
serve as an inspiration for the
entire Jewish year, and since
this year is a leap year, it is
necessary to increase in joy
and happiness. And indeed
there was joy in abundance,
with the Rebbe leading in the
dancing; the roar of thousands
of people singing was heard
many city blocks away.

The Lubavitch Women’s
group in Charlotte conducted
a special Succoth program in

in honor of the holiday. Rabbi
Binyomin Weiss led a discus
sion on the meaning of the
holiday.
Rabbi Yossi Groner partici
pated in a Succoth celebration
in High Point at the succah of
Rabbi Robert Sandman. The
celebration has become an an
nual event, in addition to the
continuous study group with
Rabbi Groner in that commu
