Welcome to Clifton Park Chabad Jewish Center! Here at Chabad, you will find a wide array of programming designed to enhance Jewish life in southern Saratoga County. We strive to create an environment where every person is welcome, every individual Mitzvah is cherished, and where Judaism is an accessible reality to all Jews regardless of background, affiliation or age! Through Shabbat Dinners, Holiday events, Jewish Womens circle, Chabad Hebrew school and everything in between, we are cultivating a community together. We look forward to meeting you in person at a Shabbat dinner, Torah class or a casual coffee date.
It was 30 years ago exactly. On the eve of Nissan 28, 5751 the Lubavitcher Rebbe issued an emotional call to the global Jewish community, to increase their efforts to bring Moshiach and the ultimate redemption.
The Rebbe started to describe the specialty of the day, Nissan 28 (tomorrow's Hebrew date). The month of Nissan represents redemption, it is the month of our Exodus, and all the days of the month are connected to its theme. In Hebrew Koach (28) means strength, power. All the power and energy of the month of redemption is in this day. A perfect day for the redemption to arrive. and yet, we were still in exile.
Spoken in an anguished voice and couched in uncharacteristically personal terms, the Rebbe then spoke words that deeply shocked those present in the synagogue and reverberated worldwide:
"How is it that the Redemption has not yet been attained?" the Rebbe cried. "That despite all that has transpired and all that has been done, Moshiach has still not come? What more can I do? I have done all I can to bring the world to truly demand and clamor for the Redemption...The only thing that remains for me to do is to give over the matter to you. Do all that is in your power to achieve this thing--a most sublime and transcendent light that needs to be brought down into our world with pragmatic tools... I have done all I can. I give it over to you. Do all that you can to bring the righteous redeemer, immediately! I have done my part. From this point on, all is in your hands..."
All is in our hands. It is up to us. Each and every one of us, to do our part, and prepare our portion of the world for the redemption. Every day is an auspicious day to do the best we can to tip the scale for the good. Pass along the message, and let's make a ripple affect of goodness and kindness!
Shabbat Shalom & Chodesh Tov!
