Longmont, CO — Whether shopping in a Longmont store or walking on Main Street, Rabbi Yakov Borenstein is often approached by area Jews who are curious about him. They ask if they can join him for Saturday morning services and about signing up for adult education classes. Some are pledging financial support, he says.
“It’s an unbelievable success,” said Borenstein, 25, who moved from Brooklyn to Longmont about a month ago with his wife Shayna, 22, and children Meir, 17 months, and Chaya, 3 months. “It’s been phenomenal.”

Chabad Outreach: Not About Personal Fulfillment
Article by B. Olidort – Lubavitch.com. Photos by CrownHeights.info
Somerset, NJ — “We do what is best for the mission, not what is fulfilling for the messengers.” That was how Rabbi Yosef Chaim Kantor, Chabad’s representative to Thailand and keynote speaker at last night’s Banquet dinner of the Shuchim Conference, assessed the differentiated nature of Chabad Shluchim.
Pricking to modern ears trained on the virtues of self-fulfillment, his remarks at the Garden State Exhibit Hall addressed the theme of this year’s conference: “One’s emissary is like the dispatcher himself.” Chabad Shluchim do not weary of their work even when the kind of rewards they hoped for don’t materialize, he explained, because the mission was never about personal reward. It was about fulfilling the expectations of the dispatcher, the Rebbe—that every moment be utilized to draw one more Jewish child in.
