FAQ's from UVa Jews
Rabbi Shlomo used to call me all the time to bother...I mean to ask me to come to things. Even though I usually ignored him now I'm hurt that I haven't heard from him in a while. What's up with that?
There would be no greater pleausure the Rabbi would have then to sit on his phone all day everyday and bother....or rather encourage students to come. However, with a list of over 500 students (Thank G-d), 4 classes a week to teach, 4 small kids, and a very large Chabad House budget to raise all on his own--time seems to run away. So rest assured we're calling you personally in our hearts and minds and praying you'll hear it, answer it, and come!
AMERICAN FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE- Rabbi Shlomo will be sworn in Friday morning at the local courthouse as a US CITIZEN! After eight years of waiting his ticket is up. Help us celebrate that night by sharing a home-cooked Shabbat dinner with coleslaw, fried (ok oven-baked--we're Jews right?) chicken, baked beans, mashed taters, and some apple pie a la mode for dessert. Hear the Rabbi deliver a moving speech (short we promise) relating his citizenship to this weeks Torah portion!

Is G-d in Heaven?
By Tzvi Freeman
 |
|
People imagine that since G-d is not physical, therefore He must be in heaven. But the heavens -- and all things spiritual -- are just as much creations as the earth. Less dissonant, more harmonious, more lucid -- but finite realms nonetheless.
G-d is not found due to the capacity of a place, but by His desire to be there. And what He desires most is to be found in the work of our hands, fixing up His world.
In the heavens is G-d's light. In the work of our hands dwells G-d Himself, the source of all light.
