Updated: 11:20:PM Wednesday, Nov 04, 2009 The Rabbi-To-Be Gets A Title Shot by Steve Lipman
The verbal sparring starts as soon as Yuri Foreman begins his training session.
Foreman, a native of Belarus who moved with his family to Israel at age 10 to escape anti-Semitism, and then to New York City at 19 alone to prepare for a boxing career, is a fighter with a rare pedigree — a top-ranked light middleweight contender and a rabbinical student. As perhaps befits a guy who pores carefully over religious texts, he is a ring tactician so cautiously methodical that critics call him Yuri “Boreman.”
He’s careful about his training regimen, too, and on a recent morning at Gleason’s Gym he picks up a jump rope to get himself warmed up. Wearing black shorts and black T-shirt, he hops vigorously in place, whirring the rope past his head and toes, hardly breaking a sweat. “You’re not a real rabbi,” taunts a bystander. “He’s a real rabbi,” the heckler continues, jabbing a finger in the direction of a nearby boxer who is shadow boxing.
Foreman nods, but doesn’t miss a beat. The other boxer, 22-year-old Shmuli Gross, actually is a rabbi, a Brooklyn student at Touro College with rabbinical ordination. But as an amateur, he’s not in Foreman’s league — in the ring, that is.
Jewish day school showcased in Reno BY DAVID JACOBS
The start of the Jewish new year this fall ushered in a new educational era for the Northern Nevada community.
Aleph Academy, a day school, opened its doors in the new Chabad Regional Center off West Moana Lane.
"It is based a lot on respect of the child, it's a community-based philosophy," educational director Sarah Cunin said of the school's mind-set. "Parents are very involved in the way that the school goes, the families are very involved. We just don't work with the child in isolation. There is a give and take between teacher, child, family, which is very special."
The school serves about 20 students ranging in age from preschoolers to some of elementary school age. About half are ages 2 to 5 with the other half in the first through fourth grade.

Ukraine Closes Schools Nationwide For Fear of Swine Flu Lubavitch.com
(lubavitch.com) In a drastic measure adopted to combat the swine flu virus, Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko ordered a three-week closure of Ukraine's schools.
"From today, all the school establishments in Ukraine -- be they private or public -- will be put on three weeks of holiday," she told her cabinet in comments carried on Ukrainian television last Friday.
Rabbi Shmuel Kaminzki, Chief Rabbi of Dnepropetrovsk, told lubavitch.com that in compliance with these orders, beginning this week, “all of the Ohr Avner Chabad schools in Ukraine have been closed.”
With 35 Ohr Avner schools and some 50 kindergartens in the networks, there are about 1000 children in the Chabad school network.
The measure, which also includes a ban on public gatherings, comes after 30 people have died of unexplained causes in The Ternopil region in Western Ukraine.
Ontario Jewish Communities Honor Infant’s Memory By Tamar Runyan
Following an infant’s untimely passing, his family is honoring the memory of their departed son and nephew by strengthening Jewish education in their communities, unveiling programs in two cities in Ontario, Canada, during the week of what would have been his first birthday.
Meir Shlomo Zaltzman, the son of Rabbi Mendel and Chanie Zaltzman, passed away at the age of seven months on May 25, just a few days before the holiday of Shavuot. For the parents of young Meir Shlomo, the loss understandably came as a shock. But in the following months, they responded to the tragedy by approaching their activities at the Jewish Russian Community Center of Yonge and Clark with a renewed vigor.
“I’d like to redirect the energy I would have given to Shloime’le to the young children of our community who are the continuation of the Jewish people,” said Chanie Zaltzman, who co-directs the Toronto-based JRCC and also teaches at its Hebrew School.

LIVING WITH MOSHIACH #1619 In the time to come it will be apparent in every entity that it is the handiwork of G-d's creation. People will be able to perceive how the true nucleus of each particular entity, with its distinctive features and characteristics, is the Word of G-d -- that is -- the particular Divine Utterance which suffuses it with vitality and grants it life. (Likutei Sichot, 29)(L'Chaim)
Visit to 770 Highlight of Chumash Party Hundreds of second-graders have been enjoying their Chumash parties, which have ended with a special visit to the 770 building in Kfar Chabad. The children were joined by their teachers and some of their parents.
In the 770 building, they heard a brief talk given by its director, Rabbi Menachem Lattar and watched a video of the Rebbe. Afterwards, the children gathered in the Rebbe’s room, where they recited Tehillim, gave tzedakah, and made good resolutions. Some of the children wrote panim that were sent to the Ohel. At the end of their visit, the children posed for a group photograph at the entrance of the building.
