While walking with his wife Chanie near Central Park last year, Peretz Chein, the 30-year-old rabbi of the Chabad House at Brandeis, watched runners of all ages complete the 2005 New York City Marathon. It was then, in a moment of inspiration, that he decided to attempt something you don’t often expect from a rabbi.
“I thought to myself, ‘I could do this,’ and I told it to everyone next to me,” Chein said. “They laughed at me.”
Nobody was laughing Sunday when Chein successfully completed the 29th annual Cape Cod Marathon in Falmouth, Mass., finishing the 26.2-mile course in four hours and 17 minutes to come in 556th out of 970 runners who made it to the end. He had never run in a marathon before and hadn’t engaged in any sports since the age of 13.

I am a parent of Ka“h a large family.
My children have and are attending regular Lubavitch schools in Crown Heights and B”H are doing well. My son however, was not doing well in school. He was unhappy and did not enjoy going to school.
