The Lubavitcher RebbeRabbi Menachem M. Schneerson

This calendar is dedicated to the Rebbe.

The Rebbe assumed leadership of the Chabad Lubavitch movement in 1950. Motivated by his profound love of

humanity and spurred by boundless optimism and dedication, the Rebbe lifted the global Jewish community from the ashes of the Holocaust, launching an unprecedented range of Jewish

institutions, outreach programs & social services.

Today more than 4,600 of the Rebbes emissaries (Shluchim) and a work force of more than 20,000 continue and expand the Rebbes mission to create a world of goodness, kindness and G-dliness as Chabad constantly innovates new approach-es in educational, social and community services throughout

the world.

May the Rebbes vision of a perfect world finally become a reality with the coming of Moshiach speedily in our days.

Dear Friend,It is with great pleasure that we present you with this new edition of the Jewish Art Calendar. The calendar offers Jewish art as well as facts and explanatory information about Jewish life and history with an emphasis on Jewish holidays. We hope you find it enjoyable and that it serves as an impetus for further pursuit of Jewish study and enriched experience of our heritage.

A clean, new, unmarked calendar is always exciting. It signals the opportunities in the time yet to come, potential in its most concentrated form. Time is our most precious and fleeting commodity; making good use of our time is an ongoing challenge and privilege. At Chabad we try our best to fill each day of the year with quality program-ming and services. We hope to make each day count and more importantly, make it a day that will resonate positively far into the future. This year is a special one for us Jews. According to Biblical command, the land of Israel may be worked for six years after which it must be given a complete rest from agricultural pursuit. This is known as the Sabbatical year or Shnat Shmita. The eighth year in this cycle, which we begin this year5776-- is called the Hakhel year, the year of gathering and unity. During the time of the Beth Hamikdash [Holy Temple] the Jew-ish people were called to gather together men, women, and children, including the very little ones into the Beth Hamikdash at the first opportunity (namely, Sukkot, when Jews came to Jerusalem on their pilgrimage) in order to hear portions of the Torah portions read by the king.

The image of all the Jewish people gathered to hear words of Torah from the Jew-ish king inspires us to greater efforts to gather in large groups with the purpose of strengthening our ties to each other, to G-d and to His holy Torah. We look forward to seeing you at all of our events during this special Hakhel year! We extend our thanks to the advertisers in this calendar and to all of our supporters. With your continued assistance, we hope to strengthen, broaden and deepen the scope of our work.

We wish you and your loved ones a blessed New Year in every respect. May you be inscribed for a year of life and may we all be blessed with a year of peace in the Holy Land and the world over.

Rabbi Nochum Mangel

of Greater Dayton

SEPTEMBER 2015ELUL 5775 / TISHREI 5776 uwwga, hra,qvwwga, kukt

ELUL 18Known as Chai Elul, the life of Elul. Birthday of Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov (1698), founder of the Chassidic movement, and of Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi (1745), founder of the Chabad movement.

ELUL 21-22After midnight, we recite Selichot (special penitential prayers). We continue to recite Selichot every weekday morning until Rosh Hashanah.

ROSH HASHANAHRosh Hashanah (literally, the head of the year) is the beginning of the Jewish year and the birthday of all of creation. It commemorates the creation of Adam and Eve, the first humans. Man was the first to acknowledge G-ds kingship over the universe, and on Rosh Hashanah we renew this commitment to G-d and His commandments.

THE SHOFARThe sounding of the Shofar (the rams horn) is a central observance of Rosh Hashanah. The Shofar calls many things to mind: It symbolizes our coronation of G-d as King, it is a

wake up call to return to G-d, and it presages the coming of Moshiach, whose arrival will be heralded by the Great Shofar.

YOM KIPPURYom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the Jewish calendar. It is a day of spiritual cleansing: We acknowledge our shortcomings and transgressions, with a firm resolution for a better future; G-d promises us forgiveness, and the chance for a fresh start. We refrain from work, and avoid any food or drink, as well as washing, using oils or lotions, marital relations and regular (leather) shoes.

SUKKOTThe name Sukkot is derived from the word Sukkah, or hut. In commemoration of the protective clouds of glory with which G-d surrounded the Jewish people on their way out of Egypt, we live in makeshift huts during the seven days of this holiday.

During Sukkot, we observe the special mitzvah of shaking the Lulav (palm branch) and the Etrog (citron). Taken together with the Hadas (myrtle) and the Aravah (willow), these very different plant species represent the unity of disparate types of Jews who, each in their own way, are vital components of the Jewish nation.

The Crown of the Torah, by Loren Hodes, www.lorenhodesart.co.za, [email protected]

OCTOBER 2015TISHREI/CHESHVAN 5776 uwwga, iuajqhra,

SIMCHAT TORAHSimchat Torah marks the day we complete the reading of the Torah in its annual cycle. On the evening of Simchat Torah, (and in many communities, on the previous evening of Shemini Atzeret as well) we make seven Hakafot (circuits) around the table upon which the Torah is read, dancing and rejoicing with the Torah scrolls. During morning services on Simchat Torah, we complete the Torah, reading the last Torah portion. We immediately start reading the Torah from the beginning againremembering that the Torah is an endless source of wisdom, each cycle challenging us to discover its ever deeper meaning.

CHESHVAN 11Passing of our Matriarch Rachel, wife of Yaakov. Rachel passed away in 1563 BCE as Yaakov was returning home to his parents. She is buried in Bethlehem.

THE YEAR OF HAKHELThe Jewish year 5776, which began this past Rosh Hashanah, follows the year of Shmitah, the Sabbatical year, and is known as the year of Hakhel.

During the Temple times, a special service was held in Jerusalem on the second day of Sukkot. The entire nation, men, women, and even children gathered as the king read selected verses of the Torah, reminding everyone of our commitment to following its teachings.

This gathering, like the Sabbatical year which preceded it, occurred once in seven years, and the entire year was called the year of Hakhel (gathering). Though this mitzvah isnt practiced today, it is customary for there to put an extra focus on Jewish unity during the year of Hakhel, especially through gatherings in which words of Torah are shared.

Shabbat Candles, by Elena Flerova, www.NERArtGallery.com ~ 845.213.4338

NOVEMBER 2015CHESHVAN/KISLEV 5776 uwwga, ukxfqiuajTHE WEEKLY TORAH READING According to our tradition, the custom of reading from the Torah in the Synagogue every Shabbat is one of the oldest Jewish customs, instituted by Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses) himself. The Torah was divided by Moshe into 54 portions, which is the maximum number of regular readings possible during a Jewish calendar year. The regular cycle is suspended during Jewish holidays, when we read holiday themed portions instead. Most years, it becomes necessary to occasionally group two portions together in order to complete the cycle on time for Simchat Torah. Our lives are built around the calendar cycles: The year, the month, the week. Every day, the current Torah Reading offers a fresh source of inspiration. Though repeated again and again, there is always a new insight, a new guidance, a new commentary on the here and the now. This is the Jewish way of living with the times.

SHABBAT AND FESTIVAL CANDLESThroughout the ages, light has stirred the imagination of poets, mystics, scientists and psychologists. Because its nature is so different from other material entities, it is often used to describe spiritual insight. Shabbat is a day of light; its pattern and value-orientation is different from the other days of the week. Thus it is the lighting of the Shabbat Candles that ushers in this state of awareness and inspires us to feel the way it permeates our lives. The mystics call this day of light the Shabbat Queen, and the responsibility for lighting the candles and inducing this change of perspective is the womans. It is she who welcomes the Shabbat Queen into the home.

Young girls, from the age of three or younger, are encouraged to light their own candles, to involve and educate them in this profound and beautiful mitzvah.

The Shabbat Candles are lit 18 minutes before sunset.

Lighting the Menorah, by Alex Levin, www.NERArtGallery.com ~ 845.213.4338

DECEMBER 2015KISLEV/TEVET 5776 uwwga, ,cyqukxf

KISLEV 19Chassidic Rosh Hashanah. Yartzeit of Rabbi Dov Ber of Mezritch, the second leader of the Chassidic movement (1772). Release from prison of Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, founder of the Chabad movement (1798). His triumphant release marked a turning point in the spreading of Chassidic thought, and this date is celebrated in many communities throughout the world.

CHANUKAH The kindling of the Menorah is the focal point of the Chanukah holiday, symbolizing religious freedom and the strength of the Jewish spirit. The menorah is kindled on each of the eight nights of Chanukah, this year beginning Sunday night, December 6th.

The Menorah is placed at the left side of a central doorway of the home, or at the front window. The candles should be lit

immediately following sunset, and should be prepared so that they will remain lit for at least a half hour after dusk. In keeping with Shabbat observance, the Menorah is lit before the Shabbat candles on Friday evening and after the Havdalah ceremony at the end of Shabbat.

Gather all family members and light the Shamash, the service candle. Recite the proper blessings and then light the candles beginning from the left. Then place the Shamash at its designated place, separated from the other candles.

TEVET 10Observed as a fast day. On this date, Jerusalem was placed under siege by the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar, resulting in the destruction of the First Temple (422 BCE).

TEVET 24

Yartzeit of Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, founder of the Chabad movement (1813).

SHEVAT 10

Yartzeit of Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, sixth leader of Chabad Lubavitch (1950). Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak fought to preserve Jewish life in the U.S.S.R. until he was imprisoned, threatened with his life, and finally forced to leave (1927). In 1940 he came to the United States and established the network of Chabad-Lubavitch educational institutions throughout the U.S.A. and across the world.

This day also marks the beginning of the leadership of his son-in-law Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, known as the Lubavitcher Rebbe.

SHEVAT 15 TU BSHEVAT

In Jewish tradition, the fifteenth day of Shevat marks the New Year for the trees, opening the season in which trees begin to bud in the Holy Land.

It is customary to celebrate this date by enjoying some fruit, especially the five fruits mentioned in the Torah in connection with the Land of Israel: Grapes, Figs, Pomegranates, Olives, and Dates.

THE JEWISH CALENDAR

The Jewish calendar is the only calendar to which both the monthly and annual units are governed by real astronomical events: The lunar month, and the solar year.

The word for month in the Torah is either chodesh (renewal), or yerach (moon), both hinting at a lunar month. At the same time, the Torah commands us to ensure that the holiday of Passover always occurs in the spring, hinting at a solar year.

Because twelve lunar months are approximately 11 days short of a solar year, it becomes necessary to occasionally add a 13th month, Adar I, to the Jewish calendar year, which is then called a Leap Year.

Our sages have devised a system of 19-year cycles, 7 of which are declared leap years. This includes this year, the final year of the 304th cycle.

First light the candles.Then spread your hands out around the candles drawing your hands inward in a circular motion three times to indicate the acceptance of the sanctity of Shabbat.You then cover your eyes and recite the following blessing:

Transliteration: Boruch A-toh Ado-noi E-lo-hei-nu Me-lech Ho-olom A-sher Ki-de-sha-nu Be-mitz-vo-sov Ve-tzi-vo-nu Le-had-lik Ner Shel Sha-bos Ko-desh

Translation: Blessed are You, Lord our G-d, King of the universe, who has sanctied us with His commandments, and commanded us tokindle the light of the holy Shabbat.

Uncover your eyes and behold the Shabbat lights.The time of lighting is considered especially propitious for praying to G-d for health and happiness. The prayer is readily acceptable because it is offered during the performance of this great mitzvah of lighting Shabbat candles.Make sure to light the candles before sunset.

Blessings for the holiday of Rosh Hashanah:

It is considered a great Mitzvah and responsibility to honor the Shab-bat by lighting candles 18 minutes before sunset on Friday evenings and on the eve of Jewish festivals. (The times provided in our calen-dar are for the local area only).This unique commandment, entrusted to the Jewish woman, is rich with meaning and purpose. In a world so full of darkness, the candles lit by Jewish women and girls bring light, joy and holiness. A little light, our sages say, dispels much darkness.

Married women should light at least two candles, corresponding to the commandments of Remember the Shabbos (Exodus 20:8) and Observe the Shabbos (Deuteronomy 5:12). Single women, includ-ing young girls from the age of three, light one candle only.Shabbat candles must be lit NO LATER than the time specied onthe calendar. If there is no woman in the house, the head of the household should light the candles. It is customary to give charity before lighting the candles. Contact our ofce for a charity box.

P R O C E D U R E F O R F E S T I V A L C A N D L E L I G H T I N GThe procedure for lighting candles on the eve of the holidays is basically the same as the Shabbat candle lighting, except for the following details and blessings (which differ from one festival to another): It is permissible to kindle the holiday candles after sundown (except when occuring on the Shabbat), however lighting the candles has to be

from a pre-existing ame. When lighting on a Friday, light before sunset. When lighting on a Saturday evening, the earliest one may light is an hour after sunset.

Since the time of the prophets of Israel, Jews have been awaiting the nal redemption and the coming of Moshi-ach. In fact, the belief in Moshiach is listed by Maimo-nides as one of the thirteen principles of the Jewish faith. In 1991, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, declared to the world that The time

of Redemption has arrived!. He initiated the Lets Welcome Moshiach campaign - urging Jewish people to prepare for and hasten the upcoming redemption, by increasing in Torah study, particularly on the topic of redemption, and adding in the observance of Mitzvoth. We invite you to join the Lets Welcome Moshiach

campaign. Listed below are suggestions for things you can do the help bring Moshiach. Our sages teach us that even one good deed can tip the scale and bring redemption to the entire world. While any Mitzvah has that potential, the Mitzvahs listed each carry a special signicance in Jewish practice & thought.

For help with any of these Mitzvot, please call our ofce

Increase in daily Torah study (Contact our ofce forinformation about the classes we offer.)

Zechariahs Prophecy (Zechariah 8:4), by Caryin Yavin, www.NERArtGallery.com ~ 845.213.4338

MARCH 2016ADAR I/ADAR II 5776 uwwga, c rstqt rstPURIMThe actual story of Purim, as told in the Scroll of Esther, is as fascinating and spellbinding as any best seller. Yet, though it is sacred scripture, we do not find the name of G-d mentioned even once! But within the intricate details of the Megillah, we can detect the unmistakable hand of Divine Providence. And the closer we examine the story, the more we discover that even seemingly insignificant events are precisely arranged by the hand of the Almighty.

THE MITZVOT OF PURIM ARE: The Fast of Esther, held before Purim, to commemorate the day of prayer and

fasting which the Jews held before their victory.

Listen to the reading of Megillat Esther (the Scroll of Esther) at night and day, recounting the story of Purim.

Send gifts containing at least two types of ready-to-eat Kosher foods to one or more friends on the day of Purim. These gifts, called Mishloach Manot (sending portions), should preferably be sent via a third party.

Give Matanot Levyonim (gifts of charity to the poor). While Tzedakah (charity) is a year-round responsibility, it is a particularly special Mitzvah on Purim. Give to at least two needy individuals during Purim day.

Celebrate with a special festive and joyous meal.

WE WISH YOU ALL A JOYOUS PURIM!

Shabbat and the Redemption, by Haim Sherrf, [email protected]

APRIL 2016ADAR II/NISSAN 5776 uwwga, ixhbqc rst

NISAN 11Birthday of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson (1902).

CELEBRATING PESACH (PASSOVER) On Pesach we celebrate the birth of the Jewish nation with our miraculous redemption from Egypt. Pesach is celebrated by refraining from eating (or evening owning) any foods which are chametz (leavened), and by participating in a Seder dinner on the first two nights of the holiday.

THE SEDERThe Pesach Seder, conducted each of the first two nights of Pesach, is the central event of the Passover festival.

We drink four cups of wine (or grape juice), remembering the redemption and its four stages.

We ask the Four Questions and recite the

Haggadah, retelling the story of Passover and the miracles of our redemption.

We eat Shmurah Matzah, unleavened bread which isnt allowed to rise, remembering both the simple bread of slaves and the swiftness of the redemption from Egypt.

We eat Maror (bitter herbs), remembering the bitterness of the enslavement.

THE LAST DAY OF PESACHThe eighth and final day of Pesach is associated with the ultimate redemption through Moshiach, and our fervent hope for its imminent arrival. In many communities, a festive Moshiach Meal is organized toward the evening, to emphasize this days special dimension.

WE ARE HERE TO HELPContact our office for more information about removal and sale of chometz, shmurah matzah, Seder preparations, or anything else you need to know about the holiday.

COUNTING OF THE OMER:Beginning the second evening of Pesach, we count seven weeks until the arrival of the festival of Shavuot. They correspond to the seven weeks, starting from the night after the Exodus, during which our ancestors eagerly awaited the receiving of the Torah at Mount Sinai.

PESACH SHENIWhen the Holy Temple stood in Jerusalem, this day offered a second chance to offer the Passover sacrifice for those who had been unable to bring their offering at the appropriate time.

IYAR 18 LAG BAOMEROn this date, in the early 2nd century, the students of Rabbi Akiva, the greatest sage of that era, ceased to die from an epidemic. Years later on this same date, his student Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, Mishnaic sage and author of the Zohar (the seminal work of Kabbalah) passed away. Having fulfilled his mission in this world he asked that the anniversary of his death be celebrated as a joyous occasion. Throughout the Land of Israel

and indeed in Jewish communities throughout the world this day is marked with festivities and bonfires. In particular, thousands journey to rejoice in the town of Meron, site of Rabbi Shimons resting place.

KOSHERKashrut: Spiritual Diet for a Small Planet

For our physical wellbeing, few things are as important as a healthy diet. But the Kosher laws offer the soul similar benefits, and more. The mystical masters teach us that everything we eat has a bit of holiness a spark of Divine energy released when we eat foods prepared in accord with the kosher laws. Just as the body responds to the quality of the food that fuels it, so too the soul: With appropriate foods prepared in the prescribed manner, we absorb the Divine nourishment that makes for a healthy spirit. Adapting your diet to a kosher life style is easier than you might imagine. The shelves of your local supermarket are stocked with literally hundreds and even thousands of products produced under kosher supervision.

Celebrating Israel

JUNE 2016IYAR/SIVAN 5776 uwwga, iuhxqrhht

THE FESTIVAL OF SHAVUOT:Shavuot celebrates the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. It is on this day that we became G-ds chosen people, and He formed a bond with us which shall never be broken.

SHAVUOT OBSERVANCES: All-night Torah-study on the first night of Shavuot. This is the best preparation for

receiving the Torah!

Reading of the Ten Commandments in the synagogue on the first day of Shavuot. Bring your children too!

A festive dairy meal is served on the first day of Shavuot. Like milk for an infant, we receive all our spiritual nourishment from the Torah!

TEFILLINTefillin, or phylacteries, are donned every weekday by Jewish men and boys over the age of 13. The Torah describes Tefillin as a sign, a public statement of Jewish involvement. By donning Tefillin daily, an individual gives expression to his basic feeling of Jewish identity and its importance to him.

The Tefillin are placed on the arm facing the heart, and on the head. This signifies the binding of ones emotional and intellectual powers to the service of G-d. The straps, stretching from the arm to the hand and from the head to the legs, signify the transmission of intellectual and emotional energy to the hands and feet, symbolizing deed and action.

JULY 2016SIVAN/TAMMUZ 5776 uwwga, zun,qiuhx

TAMMUZ 3Passing of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson (1994). The Rebbes contribution to Jews and Judaism in this generation is immeasurable. Under his leadership and guidance, thousands of young couples have dedicated their lives, through the global network of Chabad Lubavitch institutions, to spread Yiddishkeit throughout the globe. His vision and promise of an imminent redemption, and a world filled with G-dliness, peace and harmony continues to inspire millions throughout the world. Through our efforts, it shall surely soon become a reality.

TAMMUZ 12Birthday of Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak, sixth leader of Chabad Lubavitch (1880), and his release from Bolshevik imprisonment (1927). He was imprisoned and threatened with his life for his struggle to preserve Judaism in the Soviet Union. His release was celebrated throughout the Jewish world as a victory for Jewry and Judaism.

A PERIOD OF MOURNINGThe 17th of Tammuz is observed as a fast day. On this date, in the year 68, the walls of Jerusalem were breached by the Romans after years of siege. The Jewish forces continued to defend the Temple Mount

for another 19 days, until it too fell on the 7th of Av. The Beit HaMikdash, the Holy Temple, was torched late on Av 9. This entire period, totalling 21 days, is observed by not scheduling any weddings, as well as by avoiding festive music and dancing.

This year, because the fast days fall on Shabbat, they are both postponed to Sunday.

THE UPCOMING REDEMPTIONThe belief in the upcoming redemption is one of the foundations of our faith, and has been promised to us by almost every one of our prophets, beginning with Moses himself. Maimonides included it in his famous Thirteen Principles of the Jewish Faith. Throughout the ages, even during the most trying times, our ancestors have always prayed for and looked forward to the coming of Moshiach, our redeemer.

LETS WELCOME MOSHIACHLed by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, many prominent Rabbis proclaimed this generation to be the one to usher in the redemption. We can prepare for this special time by studying the relevant passages in the Torah and its commentaries, and by increasing in acts of goodness and kindness. This will not only help us prepare for the redemption this will hasten its arrival!

And Then We Will Treck Up, and Be Seen ..., by Natalya Solominsky, www.NERArtGallery.com ~ 845.213.4338

AUGUST 2016TAMMUZ/MENACHEM AV 5776 uwwga, ct ojbnqzun,

TISHA BAV THE NINTH OF AV

The Ninth of Av has been a sad day on the Jewish calendar from the earliest days of our history as a people. Just one year after our forefathers left Egypt, it was on this date that G-d punished that generation, decreeing that they would wander the desert for forty years, never entering into the Holy Land. The focus of our mourning, however, is on the destruction on this date of both the first Temple (422 BCE) and the second Temple (68 CE).

From the beginning of the month of Av (excluding Shabbat), we refrain from consuming meat or wine and from various pleasurable activities as a sign of additional mourning.

The Ninth of Av itself is observed as a fast day similar to Yom Kippur. We refrain from

food and drink, as well as from wearing leather shoes, washing or showering, using oils or lotions, and marital relations. Additionally, on the eve of the fast, the scroll of Eichah (Lamentations) is read in the synagogue in a unique chant, which is mournful yet reassuring. Until noon we sit on low seats only, as a mourner does during Shiva.

May we merit seeing the ultimate redemption and rebuilding of the Temple by Moshiach, now!

AV 15

Several joyful events have occurred on this date, including the end of the 40-year decree upon the Jewish people to wander and die in the desert after leaving Egypt. This date is particularly joyful as it occurs just as we conclude the mourning period over the destruction of the Temple.

SEPTEMBER 2016MENACHEM AV/ELUL 5776 uwwga, kuktqct ojbn

ELULThe month of Elul is the time to reflect on the passing year, to examine our behavior and to correct any shortcomings. In synagogues throughout the world, extra prayers are recited daily and the Shofar is sounded every weekday.

THE KING IS IN THE FIELDWhen the king leaves his guarded palace and travels through the fields, he makes himself accessible to all and the people stop what they are doing and come out to greet him, excited by the rare opportunity to see their king up-close. During the month of Elul, G-d is more accessible to us, His people. This notion compels us to stop and reach out to him through repentance, prayer and charity.

ELUL 18Known as Chai Elul, the life of Elul. Birthday of Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov (1698), founder of the Chassidic movement, and of Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi (1745), founder of the Chabad movement.

ELUL 21-22After midnight, we recite Selichot (special penitential prayers). We continue to recite Selichot every weekday morning until Rosh Hashanah.
