Mumbai Torah Dedicated in Waterbury, CT 
On Nov. 1 the Chabad Lubavitch of Northwest Connecticut transformed the one-year anniversary of the Mumbai tragedy into a celebration of the couple's legacy and life's work with the dedication of a Torah and a gala dinner honoring Rabbi Holtzberg's parents, who joined the celebration, as well three local community service veterans. The event was held at the Waterbury Holiday Inn.

Chumash Celebrations in Romania Second-graders at the Ohr Avner-Chabad School in Romania celebrated beginning to study the Chumash this week.
The party was held at the Amzei Shul, where the children sang songs, played music, and put on a show. Each child then received a Chumash, after which they read out certain verses with great emotion. Many parents shed a tear of joy at the thought that their children would now study Torah from their own Chumash.
The party was the final stage of a week of special activities about the Torah. These included meeting a sofer, trying to write using a feather and ink, arts and crafts, competitions, and quizzes.
Veterans Day 2009 By Rabbi Eli Hecht - EXCLUSIVE to Shmais.com

It was November 11th, 1919 when U.S. President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed an Armistice Day. In 1953 the Board of Educations supported closing their doors on November 11 to honor veterans. President Dwight Eisenhower signed it into law on May 26th, 1954.
