    it is considered to be the most dynamic force in Jewish life today.The word Chabad is a hebrew acronym for the three intellectual faculties of:

    ChaChmah Wisdom, binah Comprehension & daaT Knowledge.

    lubavitch appropriately means the city of brotherly love The movements system of Jewish religious philosophy, the deepest dimension of G-ds Torah

    teaches understanding and recognition of the Creator, the role and purpose of Creation, and the importance and unique mission of each Creature. This philosophy guides a person to refine and

    govern his and her every act and feeling through wisdom, comprehension and knowledge.

  • 3Message from the Rabbi & Rebbetzin

    Welcome to our Gala and Silent Auction celebrating our 20th Anniversary of service in Southern Nevada. As we reflect upon the many landmarks of Chabads achievement in the greater Las Vegas area over the course of the past twenty years, we find ourselves inspired by what a remarkable phenomenon tonights milestone truly is. Had anyone suggested back in 1990 that in the very midst of this desert of decadence would emerge a bubbling oasis of spirituality and benevolence five thriving Chabad Centers, two mikvahs, a Torah day school, summer day camp and a constant stream of outreach activities and services one would have labeled the teller of such tall tales a wide-eyed dreamer; one totally out of touch with reality. Yet, here we are, celebrating the realization of precisely such a dynamic reality and then some.This is the miracle of Chabad. As Shluchim (personal emissaries) of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, we live with the

    constant sense that we are extensions of something much bigger than ourselves. We recognize that we ourselves often have no concept of the full value and implications of what were involved in at least not at the time were actually involved in it. But then, every so often, were given this retrospective vision through which we are able to look back and see how every obstacle was, in fact, a springboard to greater growth; every ostensible setback a victory in disguise; every encounter with another human being a vital link in a chain that ultimately formed yet another school, another outreach program or another vibrant center in yet another part of town. A celebration such as this affords us that gift of retrospective vision, enabling us to clearly see the miracle that is Chabad of Southern Nevada.The Rebbe would often assure his Shluchim that so long as we were not timid or fearful, and boldly did what

    needed to be done for the sake of helping people and building Yiddishkeit in our respective communities, our ef-forts would bear fruit. He further assured us that there would be those who would come along and proudly partner themselves in these sacred endeavors. Indeed, it is with this partnership formula that Chabad-Lubavitch has been successful in sparking an unprecedented resurgence of tradition in some 3,500 communities around the world.Tonight, as we pay tribute to our esteemed friends, Dr. Phil and Michele Devore, we appreciate the fact that the

    Honorees are not merely champions of philanthropy; but are, in fact, heart-and-soul partners in transforming our bold dreams into glorious realities. The same is true of each and every one of you. By virtue of your generosity and participation, you share equally in the merit of bringing education, inspiration, comfort and sustenance to hundreds of men, women and children throughout greater Las Vegas and its surrounding vicinities. This celebration is yours as much as it is ours.Todays festivities also mark the formal dedication of The Robert Cohen Educational Campus. While Robert is

    not here physically to join in this celebration, we know that he is here in spirit. His tremendous generosity has al-lowed us to build this beautiful new facility. The voices of the children learning in their brand new classrooms will serve as an everlasting legacy to his memory which we honor tonight.On behalf of a grateful community, we say thank you, as we look forward to continuing to work together from

    strength to greater strength

    Rabbi Shea & Dina HarligChabad of Southern Nevada

  • 4A Salute to the Lubavitcher Rebbe

    Rebbe, this year marks the 16th Anniversary of your passing. When you were born, few realized the impact you would have on the world. When you first encouraged Jews to become more observant, many doubted your dream that so many would return to Judaism.Today, thanks to your foresight, millions of men put on Tefillin daily, millions of candles brighten Shabbat tables,

    millions of pennies have filled millions of pushkas and millions of Jewish hearts have been touched.While others have made committees; waited for grants to be approved; set up sub-committees; decided that due to

    a lack of funding a program would have to be aborted; and rather built wonderful edifices with skyscraping offices; you and your emissaries have demonstrated that to touch a Jew, one need only have the willingness, determination and real understanding of what Ahavas Yisrael means.On behalf of the millions of neshamas that you have rekindled we humbly say thank you.

    to touch a Jew,One need only have the willingness, determination

    And real understanding of what Ahavas Yisrael means.

  • 5The Chabad Movement

    What is Chabad?Chabad is a movement comprised of people who are deeply inspired by a system of teachings. The essence of these

    teachings is that we are meant to know and understand G-d; that we can find value and meaning in G-ds Torah and that putting that knowledge and those values into action by practicing unconditional love of our fellow Jews will bring deep and profound fulfillment and joy. Chabad is dedicated to spreading the wonders and rewards of Judaism throughout the world.

    Our HistoryRabbi Israel ben Eliezer (1698 1760), known as the Baal Shem Tov, founded the Chassidic movement. He taught

    the unique importance of every Jew, no matter how much or how little learned in Judaism. He taught that love of ones fellow Jew, devotion in prayer, and wholehearted sincerity and joy in learning and the practice of Torah are the essence of service G-d.Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi (1745 1812), known as the Alter Rebbe, succeeded the Baal Shem Tov as the

    leader of the Chassidic movement. He organized the teachings of the Baal Shem Tov into a lucid systematic philosophy, which was called Chabad after the Hebrew acronym for wisdom, understanding and knowledge.The Alter Rebbes teachings were preserved and amplified by his successors, the Rebbes of Chabad. For 100

    years the Rebbes lived in the Byelorussian village of Lubavitch, whose name, which means town of love has also appropriately identified the movement. Each Rebbe involved himself, with great personal sacrifice, in the struggles of the Jews of his time. Most suffered imprisonment, torture or exile at the hands of the Tsarist, Communist and Nazi regimes.

    Chabad TodayInspired by the Rebbes vision, Chabad has flourished and prospered, bringing education and inspiration to Jews

    worldwide. Thousands of dedicated men and women have established and oversee 3500 Chabad centers around the globe. These centers run an astonishing range of services and projects based on community needs, including adult educational classes, day schools and Hebrew schools, synagogues, summer camps, and social service and drug rehabilitation programs. Whether in Brooklyn or Brazil, Australia or Austria, Kansas City or Kiev, Hungary or the Holy Land, you can expect to find people dedicated to the Chabad ideal, raising the level of Jewish awareness and involvement. Most Chabad centers, including the five in Southern Nevada operate independently and raise their funds locally. Aside from seed money, they neither receive from nor channel funds to any central organization.

    Chabad is dedicated to spreading the wondersand rewards of Judaism throughout the world

  • 6Chabad of Southern NevadaCelebrating 20 years of Service

    To the Greater Las Vegas Valley1990-2010

    It is the High Holidays. Glancing around the Chabad Shul on Arville St., one spots Las Vegas Mayor Os-car Goodman and Congresswoman Shelley Berkley. Not that the participation of a dignitary or celebrity with Chabad is a particulary novel or unusual phenomenon. Indeed, the real beauty of Chabad of Southern Nevada lies in the fact that it creates an environment in which Jews from literally all walks of life can feel completely at home. Rich or poor, observant or uncommitted, liberal or conservative, involved or unaffiliated, Chabad takes pride in transcending all barriers while offering its pro-grams to the broadest cross-section of the community.

    In the words of renowned boxing promoter and attorney, Bob Arum, who Chabad honored at its 2002 Banquet, Chabad is about a spirit of the heart not found elsewhere. I think that all who feel deeply about Judaism have to support the wonderful work they do.

    Dr. Miriam and Sheldon Adelson, developers of the Las Vegas Venetian Hotel and the Palazzo Hotel, who see Chabad as being at the forefront of upholding and preserving Jewish tradition, echo the sentiments. They are the ones who keep it alive, say the Adelsons, whose family name adorns the Chabad community center they helped build. We are just as proud to have our names on this building as we are to have it on the Venetian. When the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, dispatched his Shluchim, or emissaries,

    to open Chabad Houses all over the world, the intent was to make Jewish education, Torah observance and material assistance readily accessible to any and all Jews especially those who might otherwise be lacking any of these essentials in their lives. Indeed, Ahavat Yisroel the love for a fellow has always been at the core of the Rebbes vision and modus operandi.

    The Rebbes charter defining what a Chabad Center is all about has been succinctly summarized as, A place of Torah, prayer and acts of loving-kindness. Chabad Houses, said the Rebbe must always have open doors so that any Jew could feel a sense of belonging therein. Chabad Shluchim, he said, must always have open hearts so that any Jew could feel that they have some-one to turn to; someone who genuinely cares about them, welcomes them, and stands ready to assist them un-conditionally in whatever matter may be. With some 3500 such Chabad Houses dotting the globe, Chabad-Lubavitch is thus the largest network of Jewish educa-tional and social service organizations in the world today.

    In his teachings and initiatives, the Rebbe repeatedly emphasized that a Jew can only reach the height of his own potential when he recognizes that he is inextricably bound with his fellow. Jews are never islands unto themselves, he would say, but are, in fact, deficient and incomplete without one another. We give strength to one another even as we draw strength from one another.

  • 7It is with this caring approach and sense of mutual responsibility that a young Rabbi Shea Harlig, his wife, Dina and their then infant daughter, Chayala, moved out to the Las Vegas Valley in December of 1990. To this day, Rabbi Harlig attributes his relentless drive to build a stronger and more vibrant Jewish community to the mandate and blessings he received from the Rebbe on the day prior to his familys departure from Brooklyn for the Silver State.

    Back in those pioneering days, Chabads center of operations was the Harlig home. Hebrew school classes and synagogue services were held in the living room. It wasnt long before these humble quarters were outgrown, leading to the 1992 acquisition of a 4,000 square foot house which was converted into a pre-school, Hebrew school, synagogue and outreach center.

    From this milestone, other exciting developments would follow in rapid and constant succession: A beautiful state-of-the-art Mikvah would be built as an adjunct to the Vista property; summer camp for children of all ages would be started; a magnificent $1.5 million, 13,000 square foot community center would be erected; a Jewish Day School and Preschool from 2 year-olds through eighth grade with an enrollment of close to 175 students would be established; additional centers in Summerlin (which has its own $4 million, 15,000 square foot center) and Green Valley will be opened; a special center for the Hebrew speaking/Sephardic community, as well as for college students at UNLV; scores of additional Shluchim, teachers and staff members would join the Chabad team Each Chabad milestone would serve as a stepping-stone to yet another program and yet another phase of growth and expansion.

    On August 25, 2010, Chabad had the ribbon cutting and opening of its most ambitious project to date, The Robert Cohen Educational Campus, a magnificent, new $10 million, 65,000 square foot school facility. The building includes 19 classrooms, a gym, science lab, computer lab, and library and art room. This has allowed

    Chabads Desert Torah Academy to expand its academic goals to much greater heights. Both faculty and students come to school each day with smiles on their faces, happy to begin each day at the stunning new school.

    Today, hundreds of children and teenagers from Las Vegas and its surrounding vicinities receive their vital education through Chabads schools, camps and youth programs, some at DTA and some at the satellite centers.

    Jewish family life finds joyous expression through Chabads synagogues, Mikvah, holiday festivals and mitzvah outreach programs. Indeed, Chabad has a distinctive reputation for the joyous and captivating manner in which it animates Jewish tradition and brings it to life in vivid color. Its model Matzah Bakeries, Shofar Factories and Olive Oil Presses are visited by public and private school students alike enabling children to actually touch and create the holiday rituals, even as they learn the rich history and meaning behind them.

    When hundreds join together to celebrate the kindling of a twenty-foot menorah in the heart of Downtown Las Vegas Fremont St., when many gather at the District in Green Valley or the Smiths parking lot in Summerlin, its a very different sort of light piercing through the superficial strobes of the surrounding casinos the light of Jewish souls radiating the pride and solidarity of Yiddishkeit.

    When Chabad wants to ensure that Jewish households have kosher Mezuzot on their doorposts or that they are following proper procedures in setting up kosher kitchens, its rabbis will make house calls to assist in the process. In fact, Chabad of Southern Nevada has its own resident sofer, or scribe, on staff qualified to check the ritual validity of Mezuzot and Tefillin. Kosher food, even freshly cut kosher meat, is now available aplenty in major Las Vegas supermarkets, such as Smiths and Albertsons as a result of Chabads hands-on involvement and coordination with these chains. The same is true of Chabads kosher supervisory efforts on behalf of local restaurants. Kosher observant tourists

  • 8and conventioneers coming to town likewise know that they can always turn to Chabad for assistance in securing kosher food and Shabbat accommodations.

    Adults of every stripe from baby-boomers to senior citizens discover that its never too late to begin plumbing the depths of ones Jewish roots. Nightly Torah classes, lecture series, workshops, seminars and one-on-one learning sessions are some of the adult education opportunities Chabad brings to the fore. In addition to these on-site learning opportunities, Chabad also has a comprehensive communications department that utilizes modern technology to disseminate age-old teachings for off-site learning. Its expansive website, www.chabadlv.org offers a wealth of Torah wisdom and insights, and its steady flow of colorful publications such as holiday guides, newsletters, Jewish calendars and the acclaimed weekly Torah by Email.

    Families that have children with special needs can find some comfort and assistance with our Friendship Circle Program. Those who suddenly find themselves in dire straits can know that Chabads Chesed Indigent Fund is there to unconditionally lend a loving and helping hand providing food, shelter and/or emergency subsidies. Those who are experiencing any sort of emotional difficulty or trauma in their lives, or perhaps just need a friendly shoulder to lean on, can know that wise and empathetic support is always available through Chabads crisis counseling program.

    Residents at numerous senior citizen care facilities centers throughout the Valley can always look forward to their Pre-Shabbat and holiday visits by a Chabad rabbi. Those who are laid up in area hospitals are likely to be paid a visit by Chabad as part of its extensive chaplaincy program, as are those who have the misfortune of being behind bars.

    Chabads newest activities, Project Pride, to combat substance abuse in the Las Vegas community and the recent opening of Dinosaurs & Roses, a resale shoppe (at the corner of Jones and Charleston), that has clothing,

    furniture and housewares at discounted prices for all those in need.

    Twenty years after Rabbi Shea Harlig received his mandate from the Lubavitcher Rebbe to provide inspiration and assistance to the Jewish community with whatever the matter may be a veritable one-stop-shop for Jewish living Chabad of Southern Nevada has indeed established itself as one of the most dynamic and flourishing centers of Jewish life in the western region of the United States.

    In all, it is readily apparent that as the Las Vegas Valley has bloomed and blossomed, Chabad has surged right along with it. This is an energetic and caring organization, says Rabbi Harlig While we are deeply committed to Torah tradition, we do not require or expect those who participate in our programs to have that same level of commitment. Our doors are open to all. At Chabad, people of all backgrounds and affiliations or lack thereof come together to learn, to celebrate, to connect and to shareOur purpose is to enrich and enhance peoples lives be it in the realms of the emotional, spiritual, material or otherwise.

    On the micro level of individual communities to the macro level of the global network of Chabad-Lubavitch, each new day shows how the growth of Judaism perpetuates greater growth-in exponential fashion. Spirituality begets greater spirituality; goodness begets more goodness. Each act of kindness performed by one human being for the sake of another brings more such acts in its wake, thereby moving the world that much closer to ushering in the long prophesied era of Moshiach a state of global harmony, tranquility and peace which the Lubavitcher Rebbe set forth as the urgent and imminent objective of our times. Indeed, each new day demonstrates how his vision and goal of thus transforming the world was not only brilliant and idealistic; but also quite practical and acheiveable.

    The Chabad organization has undertaken a monumental worldwide outreach task that has had a huge daily impact on the Jewish people. To me, it appears that the Chabad movement is the chosen group within the chosen people to usher us into the age of Mashiach. That is why it is incumbent upon all Jews and non Jews to support their causes worldwide and at home with all our

    heart, strength, and finances to help them achieve their endeavors. It is great to celebrate 20 Years of having Chabad in Las Vegas. Lets continue

    to challenge ourselves to increase our support for Chabad this year. The Chabad Rabbis work tirelessly and even with the 150% they put in they must not carry the burden alone. In truth, their success depends on not just

    our support alone, but in our person spiritual growth as a people.

    Special thanks to Rabbi Shea & Rebbetzin Dina Harlig & their Family, And to all the Chabad Rabbis & Rebbetzins here and their great staff.

    Thank you from the Scheinman Family

    To Phil and Michelle Devore, We wish you a hearty Mazel Tov for all that you have done for our Chabad of Southern

    Nevada and Desert Torah Academy, whether it be in the architectural planning of the day school, daily encouragement given to the Rabbi about his building of the new school, fundraising for the school through the opening of a new thrift shop which will help immeasurably to bring much needed funds to the school and affordable necessities to all who come to purchase, or donating beautiful silver ornaments to adorn the interior of our synagogue.

    On a more personal note, we have known you, Michelle for close to 18 years now. We feel like we are part of your family, taking great pride in your son Shawn, who we helped to reach his Bar Mitzvah, and your wonderful children, Phil, your daughter Stefanie, and son Greg, who we have met on many occasion. We also are so thankful to you, Phil for reintroducing us to the importance of dental care because of the care that you so professionally show to each and every one of us. The two of you are a treasure to all of us.

    To Rabbi and Dina Harlig,Mazel Tov to you on the building of this beautiful edifice which will only serve to

    inculcate more and more Yiddishkeit into the hearts of the children who will go through its doors. You built it so well, so much that it brings to mind a commentary that I came upon yesterday, in Divrei Hayomim Bet, Perek Gimel, where it speaks of the two pillars built for the Beis Hamikdash, called Yochin and Boaz they were given the names of Yachin, so that they should be Yachin( Ready forever) and Boaz( Two words of Bo and Oz that it should have in it Oz and Chozek Liam Yisrael Liolam Voed, that is should have strength in it for the nation of Israel forever) So, too with this school. It should be ready and have strength in it for Am Yisrael forever!!

    Mazel Tov from the Segelsteins, Shoshana and Michael, Bryna in Tzfat, Israel, Rafi in Los Angeles,

    and Ariella in Crown Heights

    Mom and Dad,Watching you traverse the road of life together has been an inspiration to the three of us. Youve weathered difficult times together and shared numerous successes, all the while maintaining your faith and making time to help those who need it most. Though always leading by example, youve instilled in us a core value system, which has allowed us to grow

    into mature, well-rounded, successful adults. Because of your, we have all chosen career paths dedicated to serving our community and giving back to people less fortunate than ourselves. Thank-you for all the years of wisdom, guidance and unconditional love.

    ChaChmah Wisdom, binah Comprehension & daaT Knowledge.

    lubavitch appropriately means the city of brotherly love The movements system of Jewish religious philosophy, the deepest dimension of G-ds Torah
