Alef-Beis and Nekudos
Teaching the Alef-Beis and Nekudos separately, engraves its holiness into the children. The Rebbe writes to an educator who asked the question about how to teach children to read:
"It is obvious that one must teach children how to read by first teaching them the letters and the Nekudos separately, as it is a well known fact as to how much the Gedolei Yisroel as well as our saintly Rebbeim "waged wars" for this purpose, to engrave into the children the holiness of the Alef-Beis letters and the holiness of the Nekudos."
Preface
The Alter Rebbe once summoned a
young disciple of the Maggid and said to him in his customary chant: I have the
mitzva of "ושננתם לבניך" (Teach them
to your children). You have the mitzva of sustaining and providing for your
family. Let us make an exchange. I will give you what you need to fulfill your
mitzva and you will teach my son (who was later the Mitteler Rebbe).
Then the Rebbe explained the
method of instruction: The first thing is to teach the letters, alef, beis and
so on.
What is an alef? A dot above, a
dot below and a line between - this is an alef. A child must know that the alef
of Torah is a yud above, a yud below, and a line of faith that joins them. Another
version: A Yud above - this is the soul; a yid (Jew) below - this is the body;
a line of Yir'as Shamayim (fear of Heaven) in the center. (Hayom
Yom, 8 Adar-I)
The Alter Rebbe is hereby setting the
goal of teaching Alef Beis to a child: is not merely to provide him with a “reading
tool”, but rather, to teach him what is the inner significance of the Alef too,
thereby instilling Yir’as Shamayim into the delicate mind and heart of the
child,
Consequently, we must choose the
correct method in teaching the Alef Beis to the child, so that the desired goal
is achieved.
MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD IS LEARNING THE CORRECT WAY -

Rabbi Pinchas Winston presents the second part of the Geulah b'Rachamim Seminar, dealing with the question why the Jewish people seem to overstay their welcome in exile.

God Shows His Strength-Wrath - WATCH THIS!
Our Rav Yehuda has brought us another jewel from the Ma'ayanei Hayeshuah of Rav Yaakov Moshe Charlap, ztz"l, who says that Hashem built the Creation in such a way that His hand in it would be hidden in the form of nature and that this was to last for six thousand years. That He set the world up so that it would run by a process which begins in a hidden way and concludes with revelation. The example is given of a seed which goes into the ground and when the process of germination is complete, it sprouts out of the ground and reveals itself. So, too, at the end of the six thousand years, as the Redemption draws closer, nature will more and more reveal the Hand of Hashem behind it.
Following is an amazing video of the "natural" events, bordering on the "SUPERnatural", which have occurred during the preceding year. (Just please disregard the three or so NT references since they don't say anything that the Hebrew prophets didn't already say.)

Jamaican Rapper now Orthodox Jew!
Raised in Spanish Town, Jamaica by his Grandma Pearl, Yoseph Robinson, like most of the island kids, thought of the United States as of kind of utopia. It was a fantasy come true when he and his two sisters were finally able to join his parents in Midwood [Flatbush?], Brooklyn in 1989. At the age of 12, he exchanged his slower-paced life of mango-picking, fresh water fishing, and swimming for an Americanized one filled with stylized clothes, girls, and worries about being cool enough.

Rabbi Rambo
Alan Veingrad - Former Dallas Cowboys Player
Former Dallas Cowboys Football Player, Alan Veingrad, shares his spiritual journey to the synagogue on Israel National News with Tamar Jonah
Alan Veingrad, Offensive Lineman with the Dallas Cowboys & Green Bay Packers, joins Tamar as she interviews him about his spiritual journey from the football field to the Synagogue. Alan (today, Shlomo) Veingrad retells his life story of being a Jewish football player and member of the Super Bowl XXVII World Champion Dallas Cowboy Team in 1992. He shares that after he retired from football, he read an article about himself in the 'Where Are They Now' Column. After reading the summary of his life in the piece, he came to the conclusion that he had led, and was still leading a shallow life. It was then that Alan started looking for the deeper meaning of existence. Today, Alan is an Orthodox Jew, a Chabadnik, and travels around the USA and speaks about his football career, and how it eventually led him to lead a Torah filled life. His speaking engagements inspire and educate people of all ages, making them proud of their Judaism.
