This past summer I had the pleasure of meeting David Ariel De Guglielmi in his charming gallery in the Jewish ghetto in Venice, Italy. Batsheva and I were on vacation visiting the beautiful city of Venice, the place where I studied to be a Rabbi 10 years ago, and have always wanted to return and to share with my wife.

This past summer I had the pleasure of meeting David Ariel De Guglielmi in his charming gallery in the Jewish ghetto in Venice, Italy. Batsheva and I were on vacation visiting the beautiful city of Venice, the place where I studied to be a Rabbi 10 years ago, and have always wanted to return and to share with my wife.

An 11-Year-Old Girl Becomes Colonel

by Chanee Grossbaum

It’s not every day that a child gets to serve as a colonel in the army. Then again, not every child is entrusted with any kind of mission. But for Chaya Mushka Lowenthal, along with hundreds of Yaldei Hashluchim and many thousands of Lubavitch children around the world, all this talk of missions and ranks is more than just child’s play.

Op-Ed Response: Arming Shluchim a Bad Idea

by Anonymous

A few days ago, an article by the Algemeiner’s Dovid Efune was published on crownheights.info, advocating for Shluchim to arm themselves with firearms. The article intimated that perhaps the tragedy that took place in Mumbai in 2008, where Rabbi Gabi and Rivky Holtzberg HYD were murdered, may have been averted. The author points to recent threats discovered against Chabad Houses in Thailand and Azerbaijan, and to the fact that the previous Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Y. Schneersohn, carried a revolver.

Authorities Bust Terror Plot on Chabad in Argentina

Argentinian resort town of San Carlos de Bariloche, where the terror cell was uncovered.

In what appears to be a frightening trend, authorities in Argentina captured an Iranian-Hezbollah terror cell which was, according to Debkafile, planning an attack on a Chabad center there. If confirmed, this is the third time this month that an Iranian linked attack on a Chabad House was foiled. The other two plots were against Chabad Houses in Thailand and Azerbaijan.
