Today 24th of Tevet , Jan. 2 in Jewish History


Today the 24th of Tevet is the Yahrzeit of Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Lyady, the Baal HaTanya, founder of the Chabad Chasidus, 1812.


Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, also known as "The Alter Rebbe," "Baal HaTanya" was born in the White Russian town of Liozna on Elul 18, 5505 (1745) In 1764 he traveled to Mezeritch to study under the tutelage of the Baal Shem Tov's successor, Rabbi Dov Ber. Despite his youth, he was accepted into the inner circle of the great master's pupils.


His name Baal Hatanya, comes from the work that he authored, Tanya, a classic text of the chassidic tradition first published in 1796, and Shulchan Aruch HaRav, a code of Jewish law. His works have been reprinted many times and are available in all Judaica Stores.


The Chabad Chassidus today runs thousands of centers around the world called Chabad Houses, which serve as Jewish community centers, synagogues, and schools, providing outreach and educational activities for Jewish communities. The Chabad Headquarters is located in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn.

The benefits of using Fish Oil as a nutritional supplement is well known. Fish Oil is beneficial for Cardiovascular Health, (Omega 3 fatty acids have also been proven to work wonders for your heart and the miles and miles of arteries and veins that make up your cardiovascular system. They help to lower cholesterol, tryglicerides, LDLs and blood pressure, while at the same time increasing good HDL cholesterol.) Fish Oil also prevents strokes and heart attacks. (When plaque builds up on arterial walls and then breaks loose, it causes clots. If a clot gets stuck in the brain, it causes a stroke and when it plugs an artery, it causes a heart attack. Research shows omega 3 fatty acids break up clots before they can cause any damage.)

Many Kosher Fish Oils are available today in the Kosher industry, and there is no need to consume questionable fish oil pills. The Kosher Fish Oil Pills are proven to be of the same quality as the non-kosher.
