I would like to clarify the answer published in my name in last month's issue of Moment Magazine.

First of all, the opinions published in my name are solely my own, and do not represent the official policy of any Jewish movement or organization.

Additionally, my answer, as written, is misleading.

It is obvious, I thought, that any neighbor of the Jewish people should be treated, as the Torah commands us, with respect and compassion. Fundamental to the Jewish faith is the concept that every human being was created in the image of G-d, and our sages instruct us to support the non-Jewish poor along with the poor of our own brethren.

BROOKLYN, NY — Regarding recent comments made by Rabbi Manis Friedman in response to a question posed by Moment Magazine, we vehemently disagree with any sentiment suggesting that Judaism allows for the wanton destruction of civilian life, even when at war.

In keeping with Jewish law, it is the unequivocal position of Chabad-Lubavitch that all human life is G-d given, precious, and must be treated with respect, dignity and compassion.

A Hasidic Rabbi from Brooklyn has won a prestigious national award for the best-designed book published in 2008.

Rabbi Chaim Miller, who authored and designed the Kol Menachem Passover Haggadah, was awarded the Benjamin Franklin Award at a ceremony in the Roosevelt Hotel, New York, last week. Miller attributed his success to the influences of Kabbalah. “I have never had any formal training in design,” he confessed. “I think it was all those hours of studying the Kabbalah that must have nurtured my artistic soul.”
