A few weeks ago I wrote about the summer that I went on Merkos Shlichus, and the feedback demonstrated that there is an interest in reading happenings of the present, as well as of the past, so I decided to begin this week’s post with a story that took place during that summer of 5738 (1978).
As we navigate the current epidemic and resulting economic crisis, Lahak releases a new letter in their weekly Hisvaadus booklet where the Rebbe associates one individual’s economic scarcity with a “spiritual debt.”

In the past three months, while finding ways to stay sane, the N’shei Chabad Mivtzoim Committee (NCMC) faced a monumental challenge and wondered; How can we continue doing Mivtzoim while quarantining in our homes? With creativity and willpower, they managed to bring smiles to thousands of people.
Chabad of Hackensack has brought a positive message to the masses in a “back to the basics” form, a massive billboard. The board overlooks the large I-80 highway as it passes through New Jersey, proclaiming the ever relevant old saying, “Think good, it will be good.”

Rabbi Shneur Simcha and Moussia Landa have directed Chabad on Campus in Netanya, a seafront city in central Israel just North of Tel Aviv, for the last seven years. One of the rabbi’s greatest honors during that time, he says, was conducting marriage ceremonies for graduates that he and his wife had mentored at their Chabad House.
Courtesy of Lubavitch Archives, we present a weekly photo of the Rebbe as he greets a supported of Lubavitch of Michigan.
