                               Half Full?

Is the glass half empty or half full? That's the typical example used
when finding out if someone is a pessimist or an optimist. The pessimist
always looks at what's missing, what isn't there, while the optimist
looks at what is there, what's positive about the situation.

But are pessimism or optimism the only deciding factor in the way a
person perceives the contents of the glass? Is there more to it?

Let's take another example, that of two people standing at the same
point in a field. One person sees garbage and refuse in front of him.
The second person sees a beautiful palace, lush gardens, idyllic
orchards.

Can these two people possibly be standing in the same field at the same
location? Yes. But they are looking in opposite directions. The first
person is looking in the direction from where he came, the city, whose
rubbish is on the outskirts of the city. The second person looks ahead
toward his destination, the palace and his meeting with the king.

In this scenario it matters not whether a person is a pessimist or an
optimist. What is important is where the person focuses his attention.

The month of Elul is the time when the King of Kings is, so to speak, in
the field. He is available to all, not hidden behind gates and doors and
guards and officialdom. So, Elul is a unique time of mercy and
accessibility.

As we stand in the field, ready and waiting to greet the King - to ask
G-d for our needs for the coming year, to beg for forgiveness, to
request a good and sweet year - we all stand poised at the same spot in
the field. No Jew is closer or further away from G-d at that moment.

The only question might be, "In which direction are we looking?" Are we
looking toward the rubbish and refuse of the city whence we came or are
we looking toward the palace?

Looking toward the palace is constructive and invigorating in general.
And in particular, it is beneficial as well.

When the Rebbe was asked how could he say that we are now in the time
just before the coming of Moshiach, he replied with the above analogy
and explained that it depends toward which direction one is looking.

By focusing our sights, goals and actions on the palace, the palace is
in the center of our vision; it is our constant goal.

When the Redemption commences, G-d will continuously be "in the field"
as G-dliness will be revealed in its totality in the Messianic Era.

Let's cultivate the ability to focus on the true destination, the Divine
Palace. And let's do everything we can to continue advancing
step-by-step toward our goal by doing good deeds, mitzvot (commandments)
and studying Torah until we walk hand in hand to greet Moshiach.

           LIVING WITH THE REBBE  -  THE WEEKLY TORAH PORTION
*********************************************************************
In the Torah portion of Eikev, Moses recounts the passing of his brother
Aaron immediately after recalling the breaking of the tablets containing
the Ten Commandments. Our Sages tell us that the incidents are
juxtaposed because "the demise of tzadikim (the righteous) is as
difficult for G-d as the breaking of the tablets."

The parallel between the demise of the righteous and the breaking of the
tablets is not only that they are both extremely difficult for G-d, but
also that tzadikim and the tablets are analogous. How so?

With regard to the first tablets, the Torah states: "The tablets were
the work of G-d; their text was written by G-d - engraved upon the
tablets." The tablets thus had two distinct attributes: their very
creation was a work of G-d; the text was engraved by G-d.

After the sin of the Golden Calf, "Moses looked at them and saw that the
writing had disappeared. He said: 'How can I give the Jewish people the
tablets, they are without substance? Rather, I will break them.' "

But even after the writing had disappeared, the tablets were still G-d's
work. How could Moses refer to them as being "without substance"?

The text of the tablets was engraved within the tablets themselves. As
such, the text became an integral part of the tablets' substance, not
something added as ink is added to paper. Hence, the engraving of the
text had a profound impact on the actual tablets, the words becoming
entirely one with them.

Therefore, once the "writing had disappeared" - although the tablets
were still a work of G-d - they were "without substance," for the true
entity was the actual text, with its soul and spirit.

These qualities of the tablets have a parallel within each Jew. Every
Jew is a composite of body and soul. The Jew's body is similar to the
tablets, which were a work of G-d, for even the body of a Jew possesses
tremendous sanctity. The soul that was placed within the body is similar
to the Divine writing engraved within the tablets. The unity of body and
soul is thus similar to the unity of the writing and the tablets
themselves.

As mentioned earlier, the tablets were important unto themselves - "the
work of G-d" - even before the writing was engraved, for the tablets
preceded the text. Still, once the Ten Commandments were engraved within
them they were elevated to such an extent that their totality was the
"Divine writing." So when the writing disappeared, they were considered
to be "without substance."

So too with the Jew. Although his body was created independently of his
soul, once the soul is vested in the body, it becomes truly one with the
body. The essential aspect of the soul becomes the essential character
of the body as well. Thus we say that "the life of the tzadik is not
physical life, but spiritual life - belief, awe and love [of G-d]."

This then is the similarity between the demise of tzadikim and the
breaking of the tablets. With the introduction of an even higher
spiritual element - the soul, the Divine writing - both entities undergo
a profound change, with spirituality becoming their entire essence.

                        A Three Minute Encounter
                        by Rabbi Yisroel Freeman

Twelve years ago, I spent part of my summer visiting and working with
Jewish communities in Central America. I was travelling with a friend
and spent time in Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador making
communal Jewish programs and making dozens of visits to Jewish homes and
businesses. During my travels, I encountered many amazing people and
experienced several incredible stories, one of which I would like to
share below.

One day, we travelled to Antigua, Guatemala, an old town that sits on
the Central Highlands of Guatemala. Antigua used to be the capital until
it was destroyed by an earthquake and volcano eruption. The population
of the town is just over 30,000 and is made up of local Guatemalans
along with a healthy dose of foreign tourists. This ancient town that
was situated in the shadow of the towering volcano was stunningly
beautiful and rich in color and diversity.

We had heard that there were Jewish backpackers as well as one Israeli
who owned a café in town;  we hoped to be able to meet them. We spent
some time walking around the old market and 16th century cobblestone
streets where we bumped into a few Israeli backpackers who identified us
and realized we were not locals.

We then went and headed over to the café that was geared towards the
foreign tourists who visited Antigua and was owned and run by a young
Israeli man. When we arrived, Yochai the owner was not there and instead
we met an Israeli backpacker called Roey, who was running the café. We
spent some time chatting with Roey; when Yochai came we chatted with him
as well.

Yochai got busy running the café and Roey prepared to leave and rest, as
he was not feeling that great. Before he left, we asked him if he would
like to put on Tefilin and say the Shema. Roey replied, "Sure, that
would be awesome"!

When we looked around the café and realized that it was starting to fill
up with tourists. So Roey suggested that he don the Tefillin in the
street.

We stepped outside the café onto a small side street of this picturesque
town. It was surreal scene as Roey wrapped the Tefillin and local
Guatemalans walked by, returning home from a long and hard day's work.
Suddenly a woman dressed like one of the locals, approached us to stare
at this unusual sight that was unfolding on a street in her little town.
Her mouth slowly opened and her face changed to an astonished and
shocked expression as she stared at us.

I realized that what we were doing was interesting and probably
intriguing to say the least, so I said "hello" in Spanish and asked her
how she was doing. The woman replied in Spanish and asked us if we were
rabbis, to which we replied that we were. She then asked us if we were
from the States to which we replied in the affirmative.

At this point, I was starting to wonder where this was going and how she
even knew what rabbis were. Suddenly she switched to fluent English and
now it was my turn to be in shock as she told us that she too is Jewish
and had grown up in a Jewish family New York. She described to us her
total shock at seeing this scene unfold on the street as she returned
home from work, and told us that she is the only permanent Jew in town.
She is married to a local Guatemalan and has several children.

The woman left almost as quickly as she appeared and I forgot most of
the info that she had told me. Yet when I got back to Guatemala City, I
relayed the info to the Chabad rabbi who was eventually able to connect
with her and her family and put them in touch with the main Jewish
community.

As I think back to this story, I am always amazed at the timing and
coordination of the events that led to our meeting of this woman. We had
spent hours talking with Roey inside the cafe, but had only spent three
minutes outside in the street while he donned Tefillin at the end of the
day. Yet it was in that three-minute window that the woman walked by and
was transported back in time as she reconnected with her heritage and
ancestors. Ultimately, without any action or choice on our part, this
tiny three-minute window led to her connecting herself and her family
with the Jewish community in the capital.

In life, we do not always know the power of our actions or choices and
where the ripple effect will end. Often we may never discover the full
impact of our actions, and only sometimes are we lucky enough to see
behind the curtain how the strings of life are being pulled and
directed.

Personally, this story has always reminded me of the dynamic tension
that exists as we go through life and seek to live and act like a good
Jew. It reminds me that our job in life is to do the right thing
regardless of whether we appreciate the specific benefits of those
actions. Yet at the same time, we do those actions with the knowledge
that we are part of a much larger and greater plan, and in reality each
performer in the show is making a specific and unique difference to the
production that is being produced.

The show that we are part of is not an off Broadway Show, or even a
Broadway show, instead we are part of the biggest and most important
show that was ever produced, it is the story of the Jewish people and
our mission of changing the world, one particle and person at a time.

Now, it's time to get back to the production.

                          Garments of the Soul

Often what is perceived in this world as secondary is in reality most
sublime. What appears to be mundane and inconsequential is often most
sacred and crucial. Thus, at their source, the garments of the human,
both physical and spiritual, transcend the individual. Garments of the
Soul is a Chassidic discourse of the Rebbe translated and adapted by
Rabbi Zalman Marcus and published by Kehot.

                             New Emissaries


Rabbi Shneur and Mushkie Hecht are due to arrive in Brisbane, Australia,
soon to spearhead the launch and implementation of Chabad Brisbane Teens
and Young Jewish Adults of Brisbane (YJAB). With Chabad Teens for ages
12-18 and YJAB for ages 18-25, these two groups will target unaffiliated
teenagers, university students and young professionals.

"Unfortunately, many of our teenagers and young adults either drift away
from the community, or they choose to move interstate in order to live
within a more vibrant Jewish environment," said Chabad of Brisbane's
Rabbi Levi Jaffe.

"It is therefore imperative for us to be more proactive in engaging this
demographic, in order to stem the tide of assimilation and strengthen
our local Jewish infrastructure," Rabbi Jaffe told The AJN.

Rabbi and Rebbetzin Hecht will work together to oversee all aspects of
this project, including the launch of these two divisions, marketing,
promotion, recruitment, organisation, direction, and implementing
programs and events, as well as maintaining ongoing connections with all
participants.

Among the programs to be offered within this new framework are monthly
Jewish teens club, JLI (Jewish Learning Institute) Teens, Shabbat
dinners, Shabbaton weekend retreats, university campus programs, and
Jewish singles events.

It is intended that the young couple will partner with other local
Jewish organisations and youth groups.

Rabbi Hecht said he and his wife, together with their two young
children, are looking forward to making the move to Brisbane.

"We are particularly excited to meet the many teenagers and young adults
and to enhance the Jewish communal infrastructure, by introducing and
maintaining educational and social initiatives for this demographic," he
said.

Queensland Jewish Board of Deputies president Jason Steinberg welcomed
the initiative, acknowledging that many in that age group don't connect
well with the community.

"For a small community like ours, it's terrific to have additional
professionals working with sections of our community. And engaging the
youth and young adults is particularly important in a small community
because it keeps that demographic active and connected," he said.

"We're excited about the work the new shlichim will do to forward that
objective."

                      20 Menachem Av, 5739 [1979]

To All Campers in Gan Israel, Everywhere - G-d Bless You All!

I was pleased to hear that the camp season was proceeding successfully
for you, strengthening both your physical and spiritual health.

No doubt there is no need to explain to you that with man in general the
health of the body is intertwined with the health of the soul, and with
the Jew in particular the state of the soul is bound to the observance
of the Torah and its Mitzvoth [commandments] of which it is said "for
they are our life and the length of our days."

You are a children of a wise and understanding people, as the Torah
attests about Israel that it is a "wise and understanding people." As
the soul animates the body, you surely understand that the needs of the
soul - i.e. the study of the Torah and the observance of its precepts -
take precedence to everything and that is what causes the Jew to be
healthy and wholesome in both soul and body.

May you continue with this kind of conduct, by way of a continuous and
intensification throughout the year to follow, and as our Sages of
blessed memory answered us that nothing can stand in the way of a
person's will and intention. This means that everything depends
exclusively on your own attitude.

This is relevant especially in the context of the month of Elul which
follows the camp season. For the Torah states that Elul is an acronym
for the words "Ani LeDodi VeDodi Li - I am to my Beloved and my Beloved
is to me." And the term Dodi (my Beloved) refers to the Almighty who
loves His people Israel, the young and old, and because of this love He
wishes for us our true and ultimate good.

No doubt you will fully utilize these days which are days of preparation
for the New Year coming - which will be most auspicious for us and all
of Israel - to strengthen the conduct and attitude of "I am to my
Beloved," that is a conduct inspired by a love of G-d and a willingness
and desire to fulfill His will. Then you are assured that "My Beloved is
to me" - that the Almighty, may he be blessed, will make you succeed and
bless you and all those that are close and dear to you, with all
physical and spiritual needs.

                                *  *  *

                      14th of Kislev, 5717 [1956]


Students of the Talmud Torah of Congregation Adas Jeshurun

I received your letter in which you expressed your desire to be blessed
with success in the study of the holy Torah, and also that your parents
should be blessed in all their needs.

You are a children of a wise and understanding people

Since you desire such blessings, I take it that you, on your part, are
doing all you can to help in the fulfillment of these blessings. By that
I mean that you are studying with diligence and devotion, and are
conducting yourselves in the way Jewish children should. In this way I
am sure that the promise of our Sages, "He who tries hard, succeeds,"
will be fulfilled in your case. In this way also you will do a great
deal that your dear parents enjoy good health and well-being and real
joy from you.

I was glad to see that you remembered the poor and needy children, and
have sent a donation for them. Your donation has gone to help the needy
children in our educational institutions in the Holy Land. I hope that,
together with this financial Tzedakah [charity], you also do spiritual
Tzedakah, that is to say, using your good influence on your friends,
that they too study with diligence, and even children who do not as yet
get the same good education as you get, may be persuaded to join you in
the Talmud Torah, for if they will admire you, they will want to be like
you.

                               TEACHINGS
*********************************************************************
Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov said: "He who fulfills one mitzva acquires for
himself one advocate..."

                                                      (Ethics 4:11)

The simple meaning of this Mishna is that the performance of a mitzva
creates an angel that will act as an advocate for the person in his
final judgment. Nevertheless, the fact that the Mishna uses the
expression "acquires" rather than "creates" implies something deeper. In
addition to the angel created by each mitzva he performs, a person
acquires One advocate; the One becomes an advocate for him. For every
mitzva a person performs, regardless of his intent, connects him to G-d.

                            (The Rebbe, Motzei Shabbat Eikev, 5738)

*********************************************************************
                        A WORD FROM THE DIRECTOR
                         Rabbi Shmuel M. Butman
*********************************************************************
In this week when we read the Torah portion of Eikev, the yahrzeit of
the Rebbe's father, Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Schneerson occured (Wednesday,
20 Av). The portion of Eikev describes the uniqueness of the tribe of
Levi.

Maimonides explains that this uniqueness is not reserved only for those
whose lineage is from that tribe but includes, "each and every person...
whose openness of his heart dictates to rise above the material concerns
of this world and make ' G-d his portion and his inheritance,' " i.e.,
to dedicate himself to the study of the Torah and the performance of the
mitzvot.

The Rebbe described how his father's life exemplified the desire to make
G-d his portion and his inheritance: "Although the Russian government
pressured rabbis to issue proclamations declaring their support of the
government and their willingness to accept its authority, my father did
not succumb to the pressure.

"Furthermore, he did this with self-sacrifice. In particular, this is
reflected in his journey to the capital to receive permission to bake
matzot in a kosher manner. This journey was successful and they agreed
to accept his rulings regarding the kashrut of these matzot. Although
this caused financial loss to the government - and that was considered a
very serious matter - my father refused to authorize the use of any
flour that was not supervised by his supervisors, who would not bend
despite the pressure they were subjected to. The matzot baked under his
supervision were then distributed throughout Russia.

"Although he knew of the possibility of severe punishment, he continued
his efforts to spread Judaism, and furthermore, did so while in exile
itself. Moreover, he was recognized for his wisdom by non-Jews, and when
they asked him for advice, he also endeavored to influence them to
fulfill their seven mitzvot, and to the extent possible at that time, he
achieved this... My father's desire was to spread Judaism in his own
community and throughout the entire Jewish people."

May we truly learn from Reb Levi Yitzchak the importance of
self-sacrifice for Judaism when necessary, and incorporate it into our
daily lives until the revelation of Moshiach.

*********************************************************************
                          THOUGHTS THAT COUNT
*********************************************************************
[Moses told the Jewish people] to walk in G-d's ways. (Deut. 11:22)

The sages of the Talmud explain that this phrase means that we are
intended to imitate G-d's goodness. "Just as He is merciful, so should
you be merciful; just as He perfroms acts of loving-kindness, so shold
yo perfeorm acts of loving-kindness." But inasmuch as G-d;s goodness is
infinite, how can we be expected to imitate Him? The answer is that it
is for this very reason that G-d created us in His image. As such, we
indeed possess G-d's infinite potential to do good.

                    (Daily Wisdom, based on the works of the Rebbe)

                                *  *  *


And it will come to pass because (eikev) you will hearken to these
ordinances (Deut. 7:12)

Hebrew word "eikev" means literally "heel," and refers to the End of
Days - the period right before the coming of Moshiach and the Final
Redemption. Our Sages counseled us to "Anticipate the footsteps of
Moshiach"; at present, we can hear their faint echo and begin to
appreciate Moshiach's light.

                                                        (The Rebbe)

                                *  *  *


And now, Israel, what does the L-rd your G-d require of you but to fear
the L-rd your G-d, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to
serve the L-rd your G-d with all your heart and with all your soul
(Deut. 10:12)

From the way this verse is worded, one would think that this command is
easy. Yet the Talmud asks, "Is fearing G-d really such an easy thing to
do?" For Moses, the answer goes, it was easy. But how does this help the
average Jew? Every Jewish soul, without exception, contains an aspect of
Moses; with the help of this element, fear of G-d is attainable by all
Jews.

                                                            (Tanya)

*********************************************************************
                            IT ONCE HAPPENED
*********************************************************************
To be sure, the Jewish religion was not the only one to suffer.
Bolshevik repression was directed equally against Christian priests and
worshippers. This prompted the Pope to issue a firm protest. Russia's
new dictatorial regime, in its merciless policy of terror, lost no time
in learning the art of disinformation. One of its replies to the Pope
and world opinion was to stage a showcase conference of Byelorus­sia's
rabbis, scheduled for the beginning of 1928 in Minsk. It was the
government's intention to have thirty-two of the rabbis attending the
conference sign a declaration denying the existence of any
anti-religious persecution and counter­ing all the allegations.

With broken hearts and shaking hands, the rabbis signed the declaration
prepared beforehand. In triumph, the government began to plan another
conference, this one to be attended by rabbis from the Ukraine. The
conference was to be held in Kharkov, then the Ukrainian capital. There
was only one obstacle. According to government informers, the rabbi of
Yekaterinoslav (later renamed Dnepropetrovsk), Levi Yitzchak Schneerson
(a great-grandson of the Tzemach Tzedek, and an immensely popular and
respected figure among the Jews), adamantly refused to sign the
fabricated statement. The GPU (State Political Directorate), as the
se­cret police had come to be called, decided to summon Rabbi Schneerson
for a little talk. Everything was done to make this a "congenial"
affair, with not a single threat or accusa­tion against the rabbi. The
mouths of the GPU officials were all but dripping with honey. Their boss
delivered a lengthy speech to the effect that he had no doubt that the
esteemed rabbi would sign the statement rebuffing the vile insinua­tions
of international capitalism, and the Pope in particular, concerning
anti-religious measures allegedly taking place in the Soviet Union. He
went on to say that Jews must be grateful to the Soviet regime, which
had freed them from the czarist yoke. Finally, he promised that Jews
would be awarded a series of concessions provided the statement was
signed. "Of course," he added with an insidious smile, "if the statement
is not signed, you and other conference par­ticipants may be in for some
trouble."

The rabbi had already risen to take his leave, when one of the GPU
officials pulled a train ticket from a desk drawer. "We have thought of
everything," he said. "Here is your ticket to Kharkov. First class, of
course."

However, Rabbi Schneerson's reply was brusque and definite: "I have no
need for your ticket. I will come to the conference at my own expense."
He left without saying an­other word.

On the appointed day, the rabbi arrived at the confer­ence. There were
several dozen rabbis in the auditorium. Scurrying among them were some
unfamiliar characters eas­ily recognizable as GPU agents. Palpable fear
and tension were in the air; the participants avoided talking to one
an­other. One by one, they were called to the podium, where they recited
the prepared texts and, hanging their heads in shame, returned to their
seats. When it was Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Schneerson's turn, a barely
audible rustle went through the auditorium, followed by total silence.
With quick and confident steps, the rabbi crossed the floor, climbed up
to the stage and, in a loud and clear voice, called upon everyone
present not to sign the statement, calling it an outright fabrication.
"Those who sign this lie will be committing a grave transgression," he
concluded his brief speech.

Deep silence descended on the auditorium. To the ut­ter astonishment of
all those present, no one came up to Rabbi Schneerson to demand that he
retract his words. The conference lasted for several more days, during
which Rabbi Schneerson was able to repeat his appeal a number of times.
His words and his unshakeable conviction were beginning to affect those
attending the conference, and their spirits were regaining power.

Seeing their plans threatened, the authorities sum­moned Rabbi
Schneerson to a meeting with the people's commissar in charge of
education in the Ukraine. The com­missar attempted to gain the rabbi's
sympathy with a show of mildness and friendliness. However, Rabbi Levi
Yitzchak explained, patiently and without the slightest sign of fear,
that nothing would intimidate him into signing the declara­tion, which
did not contain a single word of truth.

"You persecute religion every way you can," he said. "You destroy
synagogues and yeshivot, close down printing houses and ritual baths,
deprive us of our legal right to lead Jewish lives. Do you really
believe that I can be forced to sign this fabrication?"

At this point, the commissar could no longer restrain himself. "I'll
have you know," he yelled, "that we will not tolerate your incitement!
You are undermining the founda­tions of the Soviet regime, and you will
pay dearly for this!"

The authorities never did obtain the desired results from the rabbinical
conference. They were literally fuming with rage, which grew even more
intense when they found out that someone had managed to smuggle
information about these events abroad, triggering a storm of reactions
and protests throughout the world. Thousands of Jews inside and outside
the Soviet Union held their breath: the solitary battle of one seemingly
defenseless Jew against an all-powerful state had an unreal quality.

Naturally, the GPU added this information to his "file." Rabbi Levi
Yitzchak served as the rabbi of Yekateri­noslav (Dnepropetrovsk) for 39
years before his ar­rest in the spring of 1939, which marked the
beginning of over five years of suffering and privation. He passed away
in Alma Ata, Kazakhstan, on 20 Av, 1944.

                            MOSHIACH MATTERS
*********************************************************************
The prophet Hoshea compares the number of Jews in the era of redemption
to the sand of the sea. The Midrash comments that a glass utensil that
shattes can be reheated and rebuilt, and the same is true of the Jewish
people. This teaching sheds light on the ancient Jewish custom of
shattering a glass under the chupa canpoy at a wedding. The Jewish
people are G-d's bride. Our marriage shattered at the time of the sin of
the Golden Calf, but it will be rebuilt and blossom into full marriage
in the era of redemption.

       (Techeilet Mordechai, as quoted in Yalkut Moshiach UGeula by
                                                 Rabbi Dovid Dubov)
