Student Jumps Up Screaming From Nightmare

It’s one thing to fall asleep during class, but it’s another thing to wake up, literally jumping from your seat, screaming because you had a nightmare like this poor kid did.

The professor was carrying on about some lecture at the Stony Brook University. Apparently, it was so boring that one of the students in the front row dozed off. The professor walked up to him, snored into his microphone, mocking him. About a second later, the student jumped up saying, “Wooooaaaoooaaoah” and, it was right around then that he realized he had been sleeping, embarrassing himself in front of everyone. Even the prof couldn’t help but laugh.

A Letter To Our Dear Brother Levi

Levi Yitzchak Wolowik OBM, the nine-year-old son of Rabbi Zalman and Chanie Wolowik, directors of Chabad-Lubavitch of the Five Towns, was just 9 years old when his soul was suddenly returned to its Maker during his sleep on a Shabbos night in the winter of 2009.

Levi was a child who shared his zest for life with everyone he met. He was especially close with his family, and was a caring and devoted friend to all—classmates and community members alike.

The 20th of Kislev of this year was the 13th birthday of Levi, his Bar Mitzvah.

A Chosid Prepares to Serve Hashem

Rabbi Shmuel Schneersohn an elder chasid and Mashpia from Yerushalyim sings to the tune of the Nigun kown as the "Beinoni" the advice of the Baal Hatanya Rebbe written in Perek 41 of Sefer HaTanya on how to prepare ourselves for prayer, study of Torah and performance of Mitzvos.

The "Beinoni" is knows as the Nigun Rebbe Rayatz of Lubavitch as it was one of his  favorite. It was composed by the Chosid Reb Aharon Charitonov of Nikolayev.

The term "Beinoni" is the name given to one who constantly strives in his service of Hashem. He struggles against his selfish drives and always wins the battle. But unlike the righteous man, his Yetzer Hara is alive and well, and he must continuously fight it. The melody called The Beinoni reflects this struggle. Hence Reb Shmuel adding the words of Tanya Perek 41 to this tune fits rather well.

Although Reb Shmuel starts off with the Beinonei, he seems to follow into another 2 separate Negunim.

Not to be outdone, the Dog quickly joins and adds in his deep, wolf-like howl, which grows louder each time the baby lets out his gibberish cries.While the baby looks to be having more fun, the Dog clearly doesn't seem to mind too much,

This goes on, back and forth, for more than a minute, until the husky eventually runs out of breath, or more likely patience, and moves on to something else.
