IMPORTANT: all the Holidays are in October this year and they are mostly on Weds night into the Shabbat. Plan your work and trip schedules accordingly.

and I'm very sorry to say but this affects the TX-OU game, ACL and more. Time to do some inner core exercises and remind ourselves that everything can be recorded

Also the WHITE PARTY IS THIS THURSDAY AUGUST 22 - GREAT WAY TO LAUNCH INTO HH SEASON

Thought for the week:

What is consolation?

Surface-level consolation is when the anger and suffering have ended and the pain has passed.

True consolation is much deeper.

True consolation does not mean that everything is healed and now we are back together.

True consolation means to know, to deeply be aware, that the anger and the wrath were nothing less than passionate, deep love; that all our troubles were really achieving something wondrous beyond our imagination.

That it was all worthwhile, really worthwhile.

This Shabbat is called the Shabbat of consolation. The Haftorah begins with the prophet Isaiah delivering a message from G-d. In the future, he tells us, we will be doubly consoled.

In true consolation, we look back and we can no longer find anything for which we must be consoled.

One day, we will find only joy and laughter. In the present and even in the past.

- The Rebbe, adapted by Rabbi Tzvi Freeman

Wishing you an uplifting Shabbat,

Rabbi Mendy & Mussy
