On the Bright Side: Shliachs Battle with ALS
Rabbi Yitzi Hurwitz doesn’t speak so much these days, but he says a lot with the look in his eyes and the expression on his face. When the topic of how he met his wife, Dina, comes up, for example, a wide, open smile spreads across his face and his warm, brown eyes grow come alive with delight.

Here’s My Story: Personal Attention
When my friend Rabbi Daniel Moskowitz, now the Chabad emissary in Illinois, and I were young students in yeshiva, we volunteered for Merkos Shlichus – the Chabad Jewish outreach program by rabbinical students. In the summer of 1976, we were presented with an opportunity to go on a short trip to Sweden. We prepared everything that was needed, and we went to Sweden for about ten days or two weeks. We visited a few small towns, but mainly we stayed in the capital, Stockholm. We gave classes in the local synagogues and we distributed mezuzahs and tefillin.

The Story Behind the Stories in New San Antonio Library
SAN ANTONIO, TX — For most of his life, Texas builder Dan Markson didn’t really know who his grandfather was. “He had a whole wall of Hebrew books, and he would study them all the time. When I was a child, it would happen every once in a while that small groups of young men with beards would come to the door—he would invite them in—and they would sit together, sometimes the entire night. But I had no idea what it all meant.”
