Get professional help in choosing a career A new and innovative program specifically designed for the Crown Heights Community Newspaper 392 Kingston Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11225 chp5768@gmail.com Published & edited weekly by the Vaad Hakohol of Crown Heights.

All advertisement designed and prepared by the CH Community Newspaper are the property of the newspaper and cannot be reproduced without the consent of the publisher Jewish community is making it possible for residents to get professional help in choosing a career, get the necessary training for the career they select and access help in paying the tuition, all towards helping people secure a job. Even before this program got its official start, community members who had heard about it via the Crown Heights JCC applied for the financial and training assistance and were helped. Two are receiving computer training; others were helped with finding job openings. Yet another young woman was helped to explore training necessary to pursue the vocation that she “loved since I was a little kid”, and to write a resume and cover letter. Administered by F.E.G.S Health and Human Services System, which has nearly 75 years of experience in providing career assessment, career guidance, training, and placement services, the new program is called the Crown Heights Career Assessment Program, or CH-CAP. Every detail of the CH-CAP program has been specifically designed for suitability to the community it is meant to serve. It shows sensitivity to the special needs of Anash in such areas as scheduling and help in selecting suitable career tracks. The program also offers help with paying the tuition for Certificate Training Programs, granting up to 2/3 of the tuition bill for each course of study. This can be several thousand dollars per applicant, so in the large families common among Chassidim, this is a very great incentive for parents to encourage their children to gain this help. Whether you are looking for help in deciding on a career path or in getting training for a career that you are already familiar with, it is well worth your time to find out more about this program. Not only will it help you select the best training for you, but will help you pay for it, it will help you prepare for the issues that face Orthodox Jews in the workplace, improve your interviewing skills, and help you jump-start your career. The benefits of this program are open to all the Anash residents of Crown Heights, although the primary targets of the program are recent graduates of the Kolels, Yeshivas, and Seminaries who are seeking a career path other than shlichus. The CH-CAP program is being operated from F.E.G.S Health and Human Services System headquarters located at 80 Van Dam Street in lower Manhattan. The program can be reached via e-mail at crownheightscap@fegs.org or by telephone at 212.524.1728. F.E.G.S is a beneficiary of UJA-Federation of NY.
September 26, 2008 ~ crOWN heights Newspaper 3 The Rebbe's Sicha Parshas Haazinu HEAVEN AND EARTH Reprinted from The Thought Of The Week By Rabbi YM .Kagan OBM Give ear oh ye heavens (Ha’azinu) and I will speak, and let the earth hear the sayings of my mouth.’ With these words Sidra Ha’azinu begins. The Midrash comments that since Moses was “close to the heavens” he said to them Ha’azinu, “Give ear,” an expression indicating that the listener is close; to the earth, however, he said “hear,” a word denoting that the lis tener is at a distance — for Moses was “far from the earth.” Torah provides directive and guidance for every individual; the word Torah itself comes from the expres sion Hora’ah, “teaching.”’ From the above verse it would seem that Torah instructs every person to be “close to heaven and far from earth.” Yet, sur prisingly, we find that Yeshayahu (Isaiah) exclaimed Hear oh ye heavens and give ear ye earth in exact reverse of the above verse, and the Midrash explains that Yeshayahu was “far from heaven and close to the earth.” If Isaiah, the greatest of the prophets, was unable to reach a “closeness” to heaven and “distance” from earth and remained “far from heaven and close to the earth,” then how is the average person expected by the Torah to attain such a level? And if we should succeed in showing how it is possible for every individual to reach such a level then the question will be, why was Yeshayahu (Isaiah) not able to achieve this level? Heaven symbolizes the “heavenly,” spiritual study of Torah. Earth represents the down-to-earth practical precepts — the Mitzvos6 —which concern and involve the material; when a person gives charity (Tzedaka), for example, he dedicates his ‘earthly’ material gain to a nobler, more spiritual purpose. Each of these two — Torahstudy and Mitzvos-observance--has its own unique, great quality. Attach ment and communion of the soul with G-d comes chiefly through Torah-study.’ Refining and spiritualizing the physical world to render it a fit “habitation” for the Al-mighty is achieved mainly through observing the Mitzvos. In the first stages of one’s service of G-d, one must be “close to heaven and far from earth.” The main thrust of his efforts should not at first be towards purifying the surrounding world; his main enjoyment and enthusiasm should be in learning Torah. He must, of course, observe the Mitzvos — and with warmth and vitality —but only as much as required by Torah-law; he is to be “far from the earth.” Then, later, after having acquired this sense of direc tion, he must come to recognize that “Not the study, but the imple mentation, is the main thing.”’ The ultimate purpose of his crea tion upon this physical earth is to make of the world a “habitation” for G-d. Isaiah, having used the Torah-guidance of Moses as an infusion of strength to reach the level of “close to heaven and far from earth,” was then able to advance to an even higher level of “close to earth and far from heaven Adapted from Shmais Engagements Chezky Altein (Crown Heights) to Chanah'le Sossonko (Miami, FL) Shimon Emlen (NY, NY) to Meira Kaner (Baltimore, MD) Eli Feiglin (Melbourne, Australia) to Batsheva Masinter (Johannesburg, S A) Nochi Goldshmid (Crown Heights) to Miriam Friedman (Montreal, Canada) Shneur Goodman (Kfar Chabad) to Rochel Lieblich (Crown Heights) Levi Itkin (Scranton, PA) to Mushki Morozow (Crown Heights) Chaim Dovid Jenkelowitz (CH / Postville) to Rivky Wachtel (Toronto, Ontario) Moshe Katzburg (Queens, NY / CH) to Perla Ochayoun (Paris, France / Israel) Chaim Kohan (Buenos Aires) to Malky Orbach (Buenos Aires, Argentina) Moishy Kozlovsky (Crown Heights/Israel) to Chani Rotter (Kfar Chabad) Moshe Lazoros (Framingham, MA) to Libby Weinberger (Antwerp, Belgium) Chaim Rosenfeld (Tzfas) to Mussia Shur (Jerusalem) Shlomo Simons (NY, NY) to Chana Rivka Meyers (Crown Heights) Aharon Somerville (Baltimore, MD) to Marva Perets (Crown Heights) CORRECTON Mazal Tov!
