With great sadness and pain we inform you of the sudden passing of Rabbi Simcha Yerachmiel Zirkind OBM, Shliach of the Rebbe to Tunisia and later to Montreal, Canada. He was 76 years old. Levaya times added.
After coming to America in 1941, the Rebbe spent his every single day working tirelessly on behalf of the Jewish people from his office in 770 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn. On only three occasions did he leave New York City limits, each time to visit Camp Gan Israel in the Catskill Mountains, NY.

As electric leaf blowers blow rolls of toilet paper, a delighted crowd of young children listen to Dr. Schnitzel derive Newton’s laws of motion, Jewish ideas, morals and observance. It is the ever popular world of mad science with a Jewish twist.

Parents of students in Oholei Torah, the community’s largest boy’s school, have been left in the dark after rumors that the new dean Rabbi Michoel Druin was ‘un-hired’.
In this week’s edition of Letter and Spirit, in honor of the three weeks – a time of reflection on the tragedies which befell the Jewish people over the centuries – we present a letter from the Rebbe in which he addresses the question regarding the terrible fate that overcame European Jewry two decades earlier, and how to reconcile this with the basic beliefs of Judaism. The letter was written in English through the Rebbe’s trusted secretary Rabbi Nissan Mindel, and was made available by the latter’s son-in-law, Rabbi Sholom Ber Shapiro.
