Drawn by UNT’s growing Jewish student population, the couple is part of an ever-expanding network of hundreds of Chabad-Lubavitch emissaries concentrating on campus communities.

Blog: Why Koreans Love Jews
by Julia Bass – Jewish Chronicle
RabbI Osher Litzman, Shliach to Seoul, with South Korean prime minister Han Seung-soo.
I was sipping tea with a South Korean friend of my father’s when he asked: “Do you go to church?” It’s a much more common getting-to-know-you question in Korea than in the north-eastern United States, so I replied: “I actually don’t go to church, I’m Jewish.” When the oohs and ahs from members of the family, who were thrilled to learn I was part of the tribe, had subsided, my father’s friend proclaimed: “I forgot your dad is Jewish! Koreans are the Jews of Asia!”

The program shows footage from inside a lake near a Jewish cemetery in Florida, where tombstones were allegedly thrown, when something interesting comes on the screen. It appears at the 8:24 and 8:50 mark; can you figure out what it is?
