Thursday was Chof Zayin (27th) Adar and in a few weeks is Yud Aleph Nissan the Rebbe’s Birthday
In honor of Chof Zayin (27th ) Adar & Yud Aleph Nissan. Every one of us must do something special in honor of the Rebbe, to strengthen our connection with him. The following is a quote from Hayom Yom
“You ask how you can be bound (m'kushar) to me when I do not know you personally..."
"...The true bond is created by studying Torah. When you study my Maamarim, read the Sichos and associate with those dear to me - the Chassidic community and the tmimim - in their studies and Farbrenges, and you fulfill my request regarding saying Tehilim and observing Torah-study times - in this is the bond."
This Shabbos we read Parshas Ha’Chodesh
The Shabbos before Rosh Chodesh Nisan (or on Shabbos Rosh Chodesh Nisan). This Parsha talks about the first commandments that Hashem gave us: the sanctification of the months, establishing the calendar starting from Nissan; and also, the laws of Pesach
Maos Chittim
You can give Maos Chittim (gifts of money to the needy) through Bais Levi Yitzchak Shul. Please open your heart and participate in this special "Mitzvah".
No Tachnun is said the entire month of Nissan. - From Sunday Rosh Chodesh Nissan (3-30-25), we say the daily Parshah of the sacrifice of each Nasi, after Shacharis, followed by "Yehi Ratzon". (See Siddur). On the thirteenth, we read "Zos Chanukas." (see Siddur) The first Nasi to bring sacrifices, on Nissan 1, was Nachshon ben Aminadav, of the tribe of Yehudah, who was also the first to jump into the Yam Suf.
Monday 2nd of Nissan
Yahrzeit of our holy Master, Rabbi Sholom Dov Ber, the Rebbe RaShaB, of blessed memory, fifth Lubavitcher Rebbe, 5680 (1920). He founded Yeshiva Tomchei Tmimim. “...This day, the Yahrzeit of the Rebbe RaShaB, is the beginning of the leadership of my saintly father in-law. This day is meritorious for everyone to accept upon themselves, with a firm commitment to go in their ways that they taught, for the entire year, and they will be blessed, as they prophesied, ‘This is the vessel to receive their blessing in the material and the spiritual.’” [Letter of the Rebbe, Adar 25, 5710]

Parshas Parah
This Shabbos we add Parshas Parah to the weekly Torah reading. Parshas Parah is read on the next to last Shabbos before Nisan (or the Shabbos before Rosh Chodesh). It teaches the laws of Parah Adumah - Red Heifer, and how it is purified. Since all Jews had to purify themselves before bringing the Korban Pesach, it is read now.
According to some Halachic authorities, it is a Torah obligation.
Parshas Parah will be read at BLYS at approximately 11:20 pm
