WELCOME TO THE CHABAD LUBAVITCH EPPING
Covid-19 Update
Dear friends,
It is with a heavy heart that we have decided, as per the government guidelines, and even more so with our Community Centre being in confined space, to suspend all services and community gatherings until further notice.
Although we won’t be having communal gatherings for the time being, we will be working hard to continue to serve the community virtually and with alternative solutions. Please refer back for further information. Also – please remember that we are here for you, and we have a loving community all willing to help out. If you are in need, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us – that is what we are here for!

Chabad of Epping
Thought for the week from Rabbi Y. Posen
PINCHAS
Avoiding false modesty
G-d said regarding Pinchas: “I hereby give him —the eternal covenant of priesthood.” (25:12-13)
The fact that Pinchas was much younger than Moses, did not prevent him from acting in his presence, once it became clear that Moses had forgotten what needed to be done.
Similarly, we should not be intimidated when we see that those of greater stature are not righting some wrong that must be addressed. It could well be, as in the case of Pinchas, that Divine providence is keeping them silent in order that a “less qualified” individual seize the moment and answer destiny’s call to greatness.
When Divine providence presents us with an opportunity to right some wrong in the world, we must pursue it with total self – sacrifice, as did Pinchas.
Wishing you a peaceful and meaningful Shabbos followed by a successful healthy week.
