Over 700 people gathered Wednesday night, April 30th, at Yeshiva University’s Lamport Audtorium for an event titled ‘Living the Legacy of the Rebbe and the Rav,’ which explored the relationship between the Lubavitcher Rebbe and Rav Y. B. Soleveichik.

This monumental event featured an introduction from Rabbi Moshe Weinberger, Mashpia in Yeshiva University and founding Morah d’Asrah of Congregation Aish Kodesh in Woodmere, NY.

The main speakers of the evening were Rabbi Dr. Jacob J. Schacter, University Professor of Jewish History and Jewish Thought in Yeshiva University; Rabbi Yosef Y. Jacobson, one of the most sought after speakers in the Jewish world today and world renowned scholar of Chabad Chassidus; Rabbi Zevulun Charlop, dean emeritus of the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary; and Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky, personal secretary to the Lubavitcher Rebbe for over 40 years and Chairman of Merkos L’inyonei Chinuch and Machne Israel, the educational and social services arms of the Chabad-Lubavitch worldwide organization.Professor Lawrence Schiffman, Yeshiva University’s Vice-Provost, was the emcee.

People left the event marveling at the tremendous hatzlacha of the program and the massive kiddush Hashem it caused.

The event was organized by the Y.U. Chabad Club.

    Nice Kiddush Lubavitch.

    The video mentions a PDF of letters – is there a link to download? Seems that it was distributed at the event….

  • Kiddush Lubavitch?

    Who coined the phrase “Kiddush Lubavitch”?

    Yiddin are mekadesh shem hashem!

    Chasidim are mafitz chasidus.

    What is “Kiddush Lubavitch”? is it to die for the sake of teaching chasidus? When r”l that that happened it was a kiddush hashem and brought people closer to chasidus.

    The phrase “Kiddush Lubavitch” has a touch of apikoses!
