“A true leader’s greatest presence is felt in the lives he continues to inspire.”

This Thursday is the third of the Hebrew month of Tammuz, the Yahrtzeit of the Lubavitcher Rebbe.
While we mark 32 years since the Rebbe’s physical passing, his influence continues to grow and his presence is felt more strongly than ever. The Rebbe’s teachings continue to inspire us, and each of us has the ability to carry that inspiration forward.
In honor of this special day, let us find one more person with whom to share the Rebbe’s message and influence.
May our efforts to inspire others bring the world one step closer to its ultimate purpose, and may we merit the final Redemption, when we will once again experience the Rebbe’s presence in a revealed and physical way.

Please light Shabbat candles in memory of precious Chana bat Yehuda Leib at 7:14 pm in the Palm Springs area.

Shabbat Shalom!

“Light people until they no longer need your light.”

In this week’s Torah portion, Aharon, the high priest, is commanded to light the Menorah. The Torah describes this as “causing the flames to ascend,” and the commentators explain that the lamps had to be kindled until the flames burned steadily on their own.
Beyond the practical instructions for lighting the Menorah, this teaches a powerful lesson about how we influence others. Our goal is not simply to inspire people in the moment, but to empower them to shine independently. Whether as parents, teachers, friends, or mentors, we should share our light in a way that helps others discover and sustain their own.
The greatest impact we can have is by helping others become sources of light themselves.

Please light Shabbat candles in memory of precious Chana bat Yehuda Leib at 7:11 pm in the Palm Springs area

Shabbos Shalom!

Our students lit up the room with beautiful presentations, proud smiles, and endless energy at our End-of-Year Celebration! The morning was filled with laughter, music, Jewish pride, and a powerful spirit of Am Yisrael Chai.

From treasure boxes and maps of Israel to leather-covered siddurim and nearly life-sized models of the vessels of the Beit Hamikdash, the hallways showcased an incredible year of learning and creativity.

The program featured boomerwhackers, student led Tehillim, musical performances, photo montages, and impressive achievements in Hebrew reading. Staff were recognized and acknowledged for wonderful dedication. Each CKids student received medals and gifts celebrating their hard work and growth.

We are so proud of our students’ growth in Torah learning, Jewish values, and love for Yiddishkeit. Their joy and enthusiasm made this year truly inspiring. These children are our bright future—and we couldn’t be prouder.

A twist In honor of Chayas birthday and as a farewell to Chani and Simi, we enjoyed making challah and discovering how to braid different amounts. We also enjoyed experimenting with herbs both inside and also as toppings.

“Real leadership means carrying what others cannot.”

This week’s Torah portion tells of the Jews travels in the desert, and how they transported the tabernacle and all its parts. The Torah tells us which part of the Levite tribe carried which parts of the tabernacle, and how. The vessels, including the altars and the holy ark, were carried by some of the Levites on their shoulders, while other parts were carried on wagons, by other Levites dedicated to those specific tasks. They carried it all, through all the journeys of the Jewish people for 40 years, so that whenever they settled, they were able to serve G-d properly. This was their leadership, and there is a powerful lesson in it for us. Leadership is not only about standing in front. Sometimes it means stepping underneath; carrying a burden that helps someone else, easing a challenge, or creating an opportunity for another person to succeed. Leadership is noticing those moments and stepping up when we can.
