Title: I move on Sunday
Post by: דוד בן זאב אריה on June 27, 2008, 03:24:08 PM: I have been very busy this week packing and getting ready for my move to Seattle. I am very excited about this. I will be working at a Kosher Bagel Restaurant and will be active in a real Jewish Community for the first time in my life. I have been making the 100 mile commute almost every Shabbat since the Chabad house only caters to the University population which is 99.99% Reform. It seems that the Chabad Rabbi is more concerned about the Reform Students than a Frum Jew who need him now more then ever. So this is why I have not been as active as I'd like to be. I will be making two car trips to Seattle this Sunday. One in the morning to move my stuff and one to move. I Start work on Monday at 7 AM.

Shabbat Shalom,
David Ben Ze'ev Aryeh.

I with my limited money that I have saved up and the fact that I was givin a full time job offer that kind of made this the only reasonable place for me to relocate to. If you have ever looked for a job in a city you don't live in you would know just how hard it is. I lucked out and got it on the first shot. There is really no other city that I could afford to move to. Also my Rabbi Seattle said I could stay with him for a very reasonable price. I couldn't say no.

Better than living with your parents I guess!

Post by: takebackourtemple on June 29, 2008, 07:21:03 AM: Good luck with the move. One of the missions of Chabad is to bring Judaism to places where it is lacking. That is why Chabad reaches out to the non-religious. While it differs from our position of bringing all Jews back to eretz yisrael, I have a place to learn and pray because of Chabad.
I would have to say that it is a great Mitzva that Chabad restores Judaism to some who have lost it through assimilation and even intermarriage.
