Security cameras at a Los Angeles Chabad center captured two separate incidents of vandals defacing a mural at the SoCal Arbeter Ring/Workmen’s Circle building in the Pico-Robertson neighborhood this week. The Chabad is located across the street from the Workman’s Circle, and the actions were recorded as part of the Chabad’s routine surveillance.

As the world this week focuses on Russia, this week’s Living Torah program circles around a 1968 visit to the Rebbe by Rabbi Yehuda Levin, the Chief Rabbi of Moscow. Rabbi Levin, who was accompanied on his official visit by a Soviet Government “minder,” had a Yechidus with the Rebbe. The meeting was recorded, and is presented on the program.
