New article for Pesach: “Don’t just pretend, be real!”
“No Further Proof Necessary”: If you missed it last week
Pesach is almost here and Chabad of Sharon is bustling with KAH all the Yeshiva students who are home for their Pesach break. There is lots of studying and davening going on.
The young men are also out there delivering shmurah matzah, putting on Tefillin, etc. To witness the bochurim in action and watch them help others with such care and love is testimony to some of the accomplishments of Chabad of Sharon. [picture] [picture]

We would like to extend a hearty Mazal Tov to Alex and Maya Zmoira and families on the upcoming Bar Mitzvah of their son Larry.

On the Torah portion of the week, in Likutei Sichos, Vol. 1, in the portion of Achrei Mos, the Rebbe explains that it is important for one to add precautions and aids to help them fulfill the laws of the Torah. These “extras” instituted by the Sages become a Mitzvah themselves. One cannot consider mitzvahs originating from the Sages or placed on oneself to be less significant then the laws of the Torah itself. [Listen to recording and follow Sicha inside]
