An Evening of Appreciation to Karen Schild
In a beautiful expression of Hakaros HaTov the women of the community surprised Mrs. Karen Schild last night with an evening of appreciation where she was presented with a generous gift as a small token of appreciation for her amazing work that benefits the community.
Karen, through her chesed project Shifra & Puah, has been arranging meals for many years for mothers of newborns, and other families who may be otherwise occupied, in our community. As the community has grown so has Karen’s workload. Her selflessness and dedication to this beautiful project are a tremendous inspiration.
Thanks to Baila Wasserman for organizing the evening, Devorah Goldstein for hosting it, Naamah Freundlich for the heartwarming poem and to all who brought food and refreshments!

A Wonderful Friend
By Naama Freundlich
We gather here tonight in honor of a special friend
No matter her hectic day her hand she will always lend
She feeds all her friends with simcha on her face
A tremendous amount of toil she will happily embrace
She is our Shifra & Puah a mother, wife, and friend
As if she has the extra time on us she will spend
Whom do we speak about with glory and praise
Karen Schild all of us you constantly amaze
Through sickness, shiva, new home or tired from child birth stuck in bed
With your help we are guaranteed our family will be fed
You know most o Anash by name and number
Collecting your booty of delicious baked wonder
You call, you request, never placing any stress
So that every Kimpetur will have of the best
And if chas v’shalom your food count runs short
Then you always supplement with goodies from your own freezer fort
With an enormous task you continue with such grace to do
We would like to show our appreciation for someone so valued as you
Karen, you inspire, amaze and bedazzle
While looking so lovely without any frazzle
So tonight we unify to say “yasher koach!”
THANK YOU so much from our laiv to our moach
We are so proud of you, you are a true inspiration
A prime example of an Aishes chayil of this nation
May Hashem always bless you and your family with good health to inspire
May your continued mitzvos buil our Beis HaMikdash wall higher
May all of Monsey Anash follow your lead
And with goodness and kindness bring Moshiach with speed!

An Open Letter to the Women of the Community from Bracha Meshchaninov
Hi,
I hope that you are enjoying the last few weeks of summer and that it has given you an opportunity to have fun, bond with your families and get some much needed relaxation. Now that we are in Elul the weather is changing in subtle ways and thoughts of the New Year do start to present themselves. I want to take this opportunity to invite all members of the community to participate in our shiurim that will take place in my home b’ezrat Hashem every Wednesday morning at 10:30 am and encourage you to commit now to making a space in your weekly schedule to do so. The shiur offers not only meaningful, relevant and inspiring learning, but also a great social opportunity to meet other women, exchange ideas and experiences and grow together in a supportive learning based spiritual community.
B’ezrat Hashem, we will be starting off our learning together with the school year, making the first class Sep 1st or the 22nd of Elul.
I am looking forward to sharing Torah learning and growing with you; if for whatever reason you would like to participate in the learning but cannot attend the actual real live shiur on a Wednesday morning, I will be loading the classes every week onto my website: www.womenstlc.com and there you will be able to click on a link to hear the shiur.
The website will also be a source of information regarding the evening educational and social events that we will be having, b”ezrat Hashem during the course of the year.
So, mark off your calenders now, making sure to save a weekly Wednesday spot… and I hope to see you September 1st.
Till then, make the most out of the opportunity Elul presents. According to Torah, Elul offers us an unique opportunity for Tshuvah, a return to the inner wholeness, beauty and potential of our own soul and it’s innate connection with the Divine. Tshuvah is the healing and letting go of what keeps us separate from others and from Hashem and from being who we really are. So try to hear the shofar every day and allow its sound to resonate within you and “return to the land of your soul!”
Blessings,
Bracha

Of course, listening online will exclude the possibility of live participation, but you will still get the benefit of hearing the information. Unfortunately the link does not stay effective indefinitely and for that reason last year’s classes are no longer available. I hope to upgrade my technical skills to be able to create an archive of old classes with a better method of access but for the meantime the links are effective for a couple of months.

Our Anash Community - A Letter from Rabbi Z.L. Markowitz
Rabbi Zalmen Leib Markowitz
24 Briarcliff Drive
Monsey, New York 10952
rabbimarkowitz@monseychabad.com
ראש חודש אלול תש''ע
Dear Anash, שיחיוBoruch Hashem, over the last few years our community has seen a tremendous amount of growth. In the last year alone more than 25 Lubavitch families have chosen the greater Monsey area as the place to live and raise their children and a number of new families are scheduled to move in over the next few weeks.
Our community is blessed with many advantages:
- We have a widely respected Rav of the highest caliber, Rabbi Lesches, Shlita.
- We have a substantial amount of Bnei Torah, Melamdim, Talmidei Chachamin and talented men and women amongst our Anash who are able to benefit our community by teaching, inspiring, etc.
- We have a large and diverse group of Baale Batim all of whom are eagerly looking to grow in their Yiddishkeit and Chassidishkeit.
- We have thriving Shuls - Beis Menachem, Chabad of South Monsey, Tzemach Tzedek, Nusach Ari, etc. - all of which have increasing amounts of young families.
- We have growing Chabad Mosdos for all ages as well as tzedakah and chesed organizations catering to our community.
As such, a committee of Yungeleit representing the different Shuls, including Yona Abenson, Aroni Chein, Mendi Labkowski, Avraham Polinger, Yossel Sirota and Avi Weinstein, is forming with the goal of actively increasing shiurim, farbrengens, chinuch and shalom bayis lectures and other inspiring activities to strengthen ourselves and our families in Avodas Hashem, Limud HaTorah and hiskashrus to the Rebbe.
The committee will also be working on activities and events with the aim of strengthening the sense of achdus in our community.
Your input is valuable! Every person's contribution makes a difference! If you have any ideas or would like to get involved in this project please email rabbimarkowitz@monseychabad.com.
Being that we are already in the month of Elul approaching the Yomim Noraim it is a most auspicious time to begin such a great endeavor and I hope to be able to update you shortly with the information of our first event.
May the hachlata itself that we take in doing this, bring us the ultimate results of the גאולה האמיתית והשלימה תיכף ומיד ממש
בברכת כתיבה וחתימה טובה לשנה טובה ומתוקה
Zalmen Leib Markowitz
