Rabbi Zev Segal passed away earlier this week in New Jersey. He was 91 years old. Rabbi Segal was the Rabbi of Young Israel of Newark congregation for over 40 years. In the late 1960’s, he served as the President of the Rabbinical Council of America. He frequently met with the Rebbe about issues confronting the Jewish communities across the world.

As part of its My Encounter with the Rebbe project, Jewish Educational Media conducted an interview Rabbi Segal in May of 2007.

LONDON, England — A Jewish school was accused in the High Court of racially discriminating against an 11-year-old boy.

The father of “M”, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said he was “appalled” that his son had been declared “not an 'approved' Jew” entitled to attend the Jewish Free School (JFS).

The Rebbe says:

Part one:

1. This week’s Torah portion, as well as last week’s Torah portion (Parshas Vayakhel), discusses at length exactly how all the elements of the Mishkan (the Tabernacle) were made.

2. The Rebbe now questions this:

Three and four Torah portions earlier, in Parshas Terumah and Tetzaveh, the Torah told us exactly how Hashem (G-d) told Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses our teacher) to make the Mishkan. Now, in this week’s and last week’s Torah portions, the Torah tells us exactly how the Mishkan was actually made by the Yidin (the Jewish people).

Rabbi Zev Segal, who died this week at the
age of 91, gave an interview to Jewish
Educational Media in 2007.
BROOKLYN, NY — Longtime Jewish activist Rabbi Zev Segal was remembered by colleagues as a strong leader who cared passionately about his community, the Land of Israel and the greater Jewish nation. After a day-long search, the 91-year-old was found dead on Thursday in Jersey City, N.J. He was 91.

Born in 1917, Segal came from a family that traces its lineage back to the 18th century sage known as the Vilna Gaon. His father was a respected rabbi in Chicago, and in the 1920s the son went to Israel to embark on his own Jewish studies. Segal later characterized his years in Jerusalem's Chevron Yeshiva as affording him the privilege to learn from the great Jewish teachers of the day.
