THE REBBE’S MAN IN PACE
Who was the 12-year old who went to Kfar Chabad and had a meteoric climb in European politics? What was the Rebbe’s answer that led him to a prominent mission on the international front? * Meet Tzvi Hirsch, Georgy Logvynsky, a Jewish member of the Ukrainian Parliament. He did not forget his counselor whom he met before his bar mitzva in camp in Kiev. * He spoke with Beis Moshiach and told us about his warm connection to the Rebbe and the shluchim. He himself feels like a shliach!

DOES EATING OLIVES CAUSE MEMORY LOSS?
Single-handle faucets have lately gained popularity over two-handle ones. Whereas two-handle faucets have dedicated hot and cold water handles that control the hot and cold water, single-handle—or lever-style—faucets control both the hot and cold water flow with the same handle. Turning on the single handle faucets releases a mixture of cold and hot water unless pushed all the way to one direction. This poses a problem on Shabbos.

UNCOVER YOUR TRUE IDENTITY
This Shabbos, Parshas B’Shalach, is the special day of 11 Shvat. While the official day of the acceptance of the Nesius was on Yud-Shvat, the Rebbe puts a special emphasis on the following day, the first official day of Dor HaShvii, the seventh generation. In the sicha of VaEira 5752 (also see Besuras Geula, chapter 59), the Rebbe speaks about the specialty of our generation that began on the 11th day of the 11th month and the year 5711.
