With 16 Chabad centers, synagogues, and schools Chabad has been provid ing quality Jewish programming to many Jewish Carolinians and enriching Jewish life in then local communities. Charlotte Chabad, the hrst Chabad center in the Carolinas with the arrival of Rabbi Yossi and Mariashi Groner in 1980, serves as the flagship of all the Carolina Chabad centers. In that vein, the Carolina Chabad fami lies will gather in Charlotte on August 7, for a one day confer ence to talk about common issues in Carolina Jewish life and how to invigorate the Jewish communi ties served by Chabad. This will also be an opportunity to socialize as one big family with programs for the Chabad children and a chance for the grownups to catch up on recent developments in each local community. Some of the more recent Chabad Centers are a new Chabad student center near Elon Univer sity in the Burlington area with the arrival of Rabbi Mendy and Rivka Minkowitz. A new Chabad Young Professionals in uptown Charlotte directed by Rabbi Motti and Chaya Groner opened last fall. Chabad centers offer an array of Jewish educational programs geared to beginners and to the scholars, run preschools and day camps, as well as day schools in some of the Carolina communi ties. The Rabbi and Rebbetzins of Chabad are non-judgmental and seek to connect with each person in a personal and meaningful way. Members of the Jewish com CLongregatfon MaToraK a project oj Lubavitch oj North Carolina munity are invited to stop by and get acquainted with the Chabad families and learn about the wealth of Jewish resources avail able right here in Charlotte and the other Carolina communities.

Pleas ant), Columbia (2), Greenville, and Myrtle Beach in South Car olina. j^or more info on Chabad in the Carolinas please visit our web site at chabadnc.net. ^ Commemorating Tisha b’Av August 14 Israel is always close to our hearts. The center of Israel is Jerusalem where the Majestic Temple stood atop the Temple Mount in the Old City. Once a year we gather to lament its de struction which began with Jews being exiled from the Holy Land and wandering in foreign lands for close to two thousand years, en during persecutions, discrimina tion and expulsions. The day designated for the lamentation is the 9th of Av this year pushed off by one day to the 10 th of Av - August 14 - as the 9th of Av falls on Shabbat. The 9th of Av is the day when both the first Temple 422 BCE and the 2nd Temple 69 CE were destroyed with subsequent murder and ex pulsion of the majority of the Jews from Israel. The 9th of Av is a 24-hour fast beginning on Shabbat night at 8:13 PM and concluding on Sun day at 8:39 PM. It is the culmina tion of a tliree-week period which is devoted to the memory of Jerusalem. (The tliree-week pe riod also starts with a fast day on July 24 called the fast of the 17th of Tammuz). This day is a day of reflection and inhospection on what was the cause for the destruction of Jerusalem and the exile that fol lowed. Ohr HaTorah will have a special service on Saturday night August 13, at 9 PM with the read ing of the Book of Lamentations. A special video presentation and discussion will be held on Sunday August 14, at 7 PM followed by d-O i^grega ti o n MaTorah a project of LuPaviJc^i of North Carolina Mincha services. The purpose of these days of reflection is to help us recalibrate our connection to Israel and Jerusalem and its values that illu minated the entire Middle East in its day with Divine spiritual and moral light. Our Sages have taught that those who lament the destruction of Jerusalem will merit to see and rejoice with her rebuilding. May that happen speedily with the arrival of Moshiach. ^ Siblings Celebrate B’nai Mitzvab Together The B’nai Mitvah of Isaac and Anna Garrison will take place on August 20, 10 AM at Avondale Presbyterian Church, MacLean Fellowship Hall, 2821 Park Rd.
