The lead story of the May 6 edition of the New York Times began by saying "In a major decision on the role of religion in government, the Supreme Court on Monday ruled that the Constitution allows town boards to start their sessions with sectarian prayers." In writing for the majority, Justice Anthony Kennedy said that the prayers did not violate the Constitution because they were ceremonial and served to signal the solemnity of the occasion.

Op-Ed: Now That Would Be a Nice Birthday Present!

Adam, a young Jewish man, recently graduated university with a major in Philosophy. Yet through all his studies the thing he longed for always seemed slightly out of reach. In search for what he couldn’t find in the pedagogical world of theories he grabbed a backpack and headed East for Rishikesh, India, and sought out the advice of a renowned yogi.

Op-Ed: The Call of the Shiduch

In honor of Purim, we present an op-ed written by one of our readers – with his tongue planted firmly in his cheek. The views expressed in this article are neither ours, the writer’s nor of any sane human being.

Op-Ed: The Cantonist Decree in 21st Century Canada

When I read the news this morning that two teenage girls of the Lev Tahor sect are undergoing a hunger strike after being separated from their parents by Canadian authorities, I came to the conclusion that I could no longer remain silent in the face of such a grave injustice. After all, if we don’t speak out for them, who will speak out when they come for our children?

Op-Ed: Who Are You Calling B.T.?

We all look up to and are inspired by Shluchim that we know. We are amazed by their perseverance, dedication, and success. We know that even when we are too tired or lazy to walk three blocks to a farbrengen; our shluchim are out there encouraging others to participate, and inspiring Jews with their words and actions.

Op-Ed: Tiny Flea Rises Up Against Mighty Eagle

A week ago, when a private letter from Rabbi Ezra Schochet, addressed to the Beis Din of Johannesburg and Chabad Representative Rabbi Yossi Goldman, was leaked to CrownHeights.info, calling it “prohibited and unacceptable” for any Chabad Rabbi to allow Rabbi Shmuley Boteach to speak in their synagogues, I didn’t give it much thought.

Op-Ed: It’s Not About the Draft!

It was early 1948 and Jewish united forces in the British Mandate of Palestine mobilized against enemy armies trying to wash them from the region. The Jewish community worldwide took note. Among them was a young Rabbinical Student in Brooklyn, NY, Tzvi Hirsh Gansbourg. He had arrived in the States less than a year earlier – from the British Mandate of Palestine — to study alongside his Rabbi, the then leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, Rabbi Yosef Y. Schneerson.

Op-Ed: Are Agunos Becoming a Chabad Problem?

Fact: Divorce happens. Fact: There is never a good Divorce. Fact: Divorce affects all segments of society. Fact: Frum people are not immune. Fact: Chabad has its fair statistical share as well. Fact: Even Shluchim get divorced sometimes.  Ugly Fact: Withholding a Get is a uniquely horrid tool in a husband’s psychological war on his wife during a divorce.
