Promoting the Tefillin Campaign
35 people gathered at L'Chaim's Restaurant and

this past Sunday for a Lunch to celebrate the
49th Anniversary of Lubavitch in Scotland.
The program included the signing of the Book
Secret of Chabad written by California
Chabad shliach Rabbi Dovid Eliezrie.
Highlights of the afternoon were enjoying a
wonderful lunch catered by L'Chaim's
and an inspiring talk by Rabbi Dovid Eliezrie
who explained the background of how the
Chabad shluchim of the
Lubavitcher Rebbe operate throughout the world,
and the contribution they
play in building Jewish communities througout
the world and how they connect with every
Jew regardless of religious or financial
circumstances.
During the lunch all male guests put on Tefillin
in memory of those
killed in the Pittsburgh massacre this past
Shabbos morning.

Why We Should
Always Use Kosher Catering
Monday 3 September
Busy day for the energetic
Sora Jacobs who
hosted a wonderful ladies Lunch and Learn in
Glasgow
today for almost 40 ladies. All enjoyed the
wonderful cuisine of Chefs Alistair and Peter.
Menu was a taste of Rosh hashona with Zimmes,
saltbeef and latke.
Plus cake fruit and hot drinks.
During the talk Sora urged the audience to
undertake additional Mitzvos and good deeds in
honour of Rosh Hashona and the New Year ahead.
Part of her message below One small act which
improves our...
observance of Kashrut, Shabbat, the festivals
anything,
even that small act does not go a miss and that
is what Rosh Hashanah is therefore.
So as I come to the end of my talk I would like
each of us to think of two Mitzvois we will take
on to improve ourselves in the coming year.
One mitzvah between us and our friends, maybe to
forgive their wrong doing, offer a lonely person
friendship, help someone in need.
And also a mitzvah between us and Hashem such as
lighting our Shabbos and yomtov on time not
later, be more careful about
the kashrus of the food we buy and eat, or maybe
stop using our mobile phone on Shabbos and yom
tov.
Thursday 6 September
To enable the Community to fulfil the Mitzvah of wearing
KOSHER Tefillin and placing Kosher
Mezuzahs on their doors Lubavitch brought to Glasgow Sofer Rabbi Yitzchak Schreibhant, courtesy of Sholom Jacobs.
It was a
FREE
service offered and will be repeated later in the year.
Anyone wishing to have their Tefillin or Mezuzahs checked please be in touch 638 6116.
Writing of the Tefillin and Mezuzahs often fades which then invalidates the items.
We all need Hashem's promise of long life and good health
for oneself and the family so book Your Tefillin and Mezuzah
MOT
as soon as possible.
This blessing comes about thru fixing Kosher Mezuzahs on all doors and wearing
KOSHER Tefillin
daily at least while saying the first two lines of the Shema.

Video
The evening consisted of a three course Buffet
Meat and Chicken meal, plus tea, coffee, wine
and plenty of whisky.Although the band was unable to fly in from London due to Easy Jet cancelling all flights.
Sholom Jacobs single handed organised
alternative entertainment for the evening with
much music, singing and dancing,
a magician and a photo booth. There was
fun for everyone. The meal was organised by Sora
in
her usual professional way. It was a great
social success with nobody leaving for home
early. People arrived at 5pm
and left around 9.30pm Through the financial
sponsorship of the event by Sholom and Pessy
the Glasgow community enjoyed a top notch event
at a price everyone could afford.
Next Lubavitch event will be the Lubavitch
Communal Seder held at Macabi on first night of
Pesach.
A few places are still available.
At all Lubavitch events NOBODY is ever turned
away from any event due to finance.
L'Chaim's Restaurant was open as usual both this
Saturday night and Sunday afternoon.
Because no kosher meat and chicken supplies came
up from England this past week,
L'Chaim's Restaurant in Glasgow is selling
Kosher meat and chicken to the community.
