Like many uninformed, non-observant Jews, I made the mistake of generalizing that all ultra-Orthodox Jews were singularly insulated, inaccessible and elitist. For the better part of my life, any time I saw a man on the street wearing a black fedora, suit and tzitzit, I registered an almost Pavlovian reflex of discomfort, assuming the person in question would view me as an inferior Jew.

A Chicago Chabad House avoided foreclosure by filing for bankruptcy. The brownstone housing the Lubavitch Chabad of the Loop, Gold Coast and Lincoln Park was to have gone on the auction block Wednesday, but the bankruptcy filing this week gave Chabad additional time to repay a bank loan, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Rabbi Yosef Wineberg, who passed away Wednesday at the age of 94, speaks at a Lubavitch yeshiva dinner.

Rabbi Yosef Wineberg, once called Chabad-Lubavitch’s “globetrotting ambassador” and the first in the United States to have a regular class on Chabad philosophy broadcast over the radio waves, passed away Wednesday at the age of 94.
