Ok, so I haven’t posted for a whole week. But I have an excuse: I was about 468.39 miles from my house attending the Conference of West Coast Chabad Rabbis. You can read about it here. From now on I will, G-d willing, post on a regular basis – so please stop by often! Anyway, the conference was at the Chabad Retreats location in Running Springs in the S. Bernardino Mountains. You get quite some view at 6500 feet elevation! I tried to get a good picture to share but being that it wasn’t such a clear day this is the best I got:
By the way this place was in the headlines a few months ago during the wildfires click here for a news article featuring the site and the support that they provided to the firefighters.
The guest speaker at the conference was bestselling author and founder of E-Myth Worldwide Mr. Michael Gerber, the World’s #1 Small Business Guru. Mr. Gerber was born Jewish but aside from his Bar-Mitzvah was never involved in his heritage. Recently he was so inspired by some Chabad Rabbi’s he met, that he now includes the lessons he learnt from Chabad in his talks and articles. Click here to see what he wrote about his experience at the conference. Click here for a video of his talk at the Second Annual Arizona Entrepreneurship Conference during which he speaks of his first encounter with Chabad (click on the chapter “The Little Jewish Cap”).
Oh, I almost forgot, today is Purim Katan (lit. the small Purim). It happens whenever there is a Jewish leap year. More information on that here. I guess it’s kinda like a reminder that Purim is coming soon. We hope to see you at our Purim events!
