the Holy Land. The main sanctuary of the new edifice was donated by the children of the late Anna
Lazaroff, all of whom are actively engaged in the Jewish communal affairs of their respective communi-

Angeles, Aaron Lazaroff of San Diego and Morris Lazaroff of St. Louis. The auditorium was made possi-

family and representatives of the Merkos world headquarters in New York City will be present in

Kehot Publication Society of Lubavitch Chabad
Reissues Two of Rabbi Shneur Zalman's Books
Kehot Publication Society, the
Lubavitcher publishing house, has
announced the publication of two
important scholarly clasics.
"Hilhot Talmud Torah" pre-
sents the Halahi view on Torah
study, compiled from Talmudic
sources and subsequent Rabbinic
responsa through the ages. It
elucidates on how Torah should
be studied in variation to one's
ability and occupation, the obliga-
tion parents have to teach their
children, obtaining a tutor, the re-
sponsibility of the teacher and
other numerous aspects of this
most important precept.
The author is Rabbi Shneur Zal-
man of Liadi (1745-1812), founder
of the Chabad Lubavitch Hassidic
movement. It first appeared in
1794. However, Rabbi Shneur Zal-
man desired that his name not ap-
pear as author.
The new edition appears as the
Merkos Periodical
for Jews in Sweden
The Scandinavian office of
Merkos -L'Inyonei Chinuch, the ed-
ucational arm of the Lubavitcher
movement, has begun publishing
in Copenhagen the monthly Jewish
magazine "Talks and Tales" in
Swedish for the thousands of Jew-
ish families residing in Sweden and
nearby countries.
Rabbi Azriel Chaikin, director of
the Merkos Scandinavian office in
Copenhagen, Slated that there is
an acute lack Of Jewish literature
available to the Jews in Scandin-
avian countries in their native
tongue, and that he hoped that the
appearance of the new Merkos
monthly in Swedish would partly
fill the dire need while additional
educational literature could be
prepared.
The monthly Talks and Tales
which have been appearing unin-
terruptedly for 24 years are now
published in seven languages: He-
brew, Yiddish, English, French,
Spanish, Italian and Swedish.

It was written by Rabbi Shneur
Zalman as a guidebook for those
who seek direction in serving the
Almighty. In his introduction Rab-
bi Shneur Zalman enjoins the
elders of the respective Jewish
communities to assist those whose
"mind falls short in understanding
the counsel offered therein," using
the "Kuntressim" (pamphlets)—as
Rabbi Shneur Zalman called his
Tanya—as a basis for their advice.
It has always been considered as
the fundamental work of Chabad
Lubavitch hassidic philosophy.

Hebrew Corner
Kfar Chabad Festival
"You don't know who 'the old Rabbi'
is?" asked the young man. "Tomorrow is
the 19th of the month of Kislev. This
is a festive day for the Chabad (initials
of wisdom, understanding and knowl-
edge) Hassidim. Come with us to Kfar
Chabad. There I will tell you all about
it."
The next day I went to the village.
I found there thousands of Hassidim
dancing and joyful. It was possible to
feel that this day is a festive day. •
Afterwards they all sat at tables to
eat the festive meal. During the meal
they read out an epistle from the
"Rabbi." When a Hassid mentions the
name of his Rabbi, his eyes glisten a lot.
"The Rabbi of Lubavitch lives in Amer-
ica," the young man who invited me to
the village said to me, "but his heart
is here, with us in Israel."
And this is what the Rabbi wrote:
Once the Rabbi was sitting and study-
ing Torah. He was studying, and saw and
heard nothing. Suddenly the members
of the Rabbi's family heard the sound
of a child weeping. The baby, the Rab-
bi's son, had fallen from the bed. The
Rabbi's father, "Our Rabbi, the old one."
lifted his grandson from the ground and
said, "It's not good if a man is so
busy that he doesn't hear a child crying.
It's not good, even if the man is study-
ing Torah . . ."
"You hear?" my friend whispered to
me, "This is the whole teaching of
Hassidism on one foot."
After the reading out of the epistle,
the Hassidim drank a Lechayim and be-
gan to dance again. I joined the circle
of dancers. I sang and danced together
with them. And my friend explained: On
this day, the 19th of the month of Kislev,
over 150 years ago Rabbi Schneerson
died, the Rabbi who established the
Chabad Hassidic movement. On this day,
too, was the "Day of the Redemption."
"Our Rabbi, the old one," went out on
the 19th Kislev from Russian prison.
And on this day every year, there takes
place a celebration in which the Has-
sidim sing and dance.

Children of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Lazaroff have an-
nounced plans to finance the building of a Judaic-Hassidic library
at Cong. Mishkan Israel. The family includes (from left) seated:
brothers Aaron, Morris, Iz and Al Lazaroff; and standing: Mesdames
Aaron, Morris and Is Lazaroff, Edith Tenenbaum, Emma Schaver
and Mrs. Al Lazaroff.
*
*
The children of the late Mr. and
Mrs. Jacob Lazaroff will perpetu-
ate their parents' memory through
learning.
Within weeks of an announce-
ment that the Anna Lazaroff Syn-
agogue would be dedicated in Kfar
Chabad, Israel, Aug. 12, another
announcement was made here that
the family would build a Judaic-
Hassidic library at Cong. Mishkan
Israel.
Believed to be the only library
of its kind in the area, it is sched-
uled for completion Sept. 1.
Under the chairmanship of
Charles E. Feinberg, the library
will be located in the social hall,
serving as a center for children of
the Talmud Torah and for the
golden age group.
The family decided on this proj-
ect in view of their father's asso-
ciation with the Nusach Hari con-
gregation for many years and his
work as secretary of the organiza-
tion.
Members of the congregation
and friends of the Lazaroff family
will be able to dedicate books in
the library. For information, call
the synagogue, LI 8-2666.
