Our Inspiration Our Inspiration

“In the old days there was a person in every town who would light the street lamps with a flame he carried at the end of a long pole. On the street corners, the lamps waited to be lit.

Sometimes, however, the lamps were not as easily accessible... there were lamps in forsaken places. Someone had to light even those lamps so that they would fulfill their purpose and light up the paths of others. Today too, someone must be willing to forgo his or her conveniences and reach out to light even those forsaken lamps…”

- The Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson

Wishing the Jewish Community a Happy, Healthy and Sweet New Year!

Dear Friends, It is with great pleasure that we present you with our Jewish calendar for year 5779 (2018/2019).

The Rebbe

This is the recurring theme in the Rebbe’s life. A luminary in his lifetime, the Rebbe seemed always to think of people in terms of light. And he taught us to think of ourselves as lamplighters.

Today, there are over 4,000 Chabad-Lubavitch institutions around the world, each one a kernel of study, outreach and inspiration, each one a promise for Jewish continuity.

Thousands of men and women are dedicating their lives to the lamplighter’s calling.

Thousands more, perhaps millions of people have had their souls rekindled, their spirits lifted, and their lives illuminated by the Rebbe.

As Rosh Hashana approaches, it is most important to reflect on the past year. 5778 has been an incredible period of Jewish growth in the greater North Valley. Our programs have expanded and attracted so many community members from all walks of life this past year.

Of course, our success depends on the generosity of caring, concerned, individuals such as you — amazing people committed to strengthening the Jewish community. When you support the efforts of Chabad of Northridge to inspire, educate, and energize our community, you become part of a solution by strengthening the promise of a vibrant Jewish future.

We are counting on you to be a part of this vital work. Through your generous support we can continue to move forward with innovative and exciting programs more than ever before.

We wish you and your family a new year filled with health, happiness, mazal, and joy.

L’Shanah Tovah,

Jordan River The Jewish people stand before the Jordan River, the last obstacle between them and their beloved Land of Israel.

In a truly miraculous site, the river with its naturally overflowing water, halting in their course, and piling up like a wall. The priests, followed by the entire nation, make their way through the River and into Israel, forever.

Banias Falls flow into Jordan River

The Land of Israel is geographically located to be at the center of the worlds greatest civilizations. It was impossible to pass from one great nation to another (Eurasia to Africa) without passing through Israel. This guaranteed that Israel would have the ability to influence the other nations and to be a light in the darkness for all those seeking it.

Shiloh

After many decades wandering in the dessert, the Mishkan (Tabernacle), which was G-d's home before the Temple, finally found its permanent home in Shiloh. This is where Chana famously cried out her soul to G-d to grant her a child, and where G-d blessed her with a son, the very righteous prophet, Samuel.

Yafo - Jaffa The Land of Israel is geographically located to be at the center of the worlds greatest civilizations. It was impossible to pass from one great nation to another (Eurasia to Africa) without passing through Israel. This guaranteed that the Jewish people would have the ability to be a light in the darkness to its surroundings.
