Amidst all the hustle and bustle during the recent women’s convention, the shluchos weren’t the only ones who were recognized for their outstanding service. MyShliach, a division of Merkos L’Inyonei Chinuch’s Suite 302, held a special girls’ event of appreciation this Chof Gimel Shevat for all the mentors who dedicate their time and effort to being mashpia on young shluchos around the world.
The Sanzer Rebbe is in the midst of a two-week visit to the United States. On Tuesday, he visited with Sholom Rubashkin in prison, along with other Jewish prisoners in the facility. He was there for four hours.
Merkos Suite 302 is pleased to announce the launch of a new Purim mini-site to provide shluchim with easy access to a wealth of valuable resources for their Purim programming.
In 1990, the Rebbe instructed that the corporate documents for all three central Lubavitch institutions: Aguch, Merkos and Machne Yisroel be reviewed. The Rebbe also instructed that among some fundamental changes to be implemented, the membership of Aguch be limited to its 20 directors. Yet, as the Gabo’im file another lawsuit to delay their pending eviction from 770, they reject the Rebbe’s wishes by listing several members of Anash as members of Aguch. Further adding insult to injury, a few of these people are not even aware that they are plaintiffs to this lawsuit!
A Chabad-Lubavitch girls’ school in Melbourne, Australia has found a unique way to honor the memory of five members of an Israeli family murdered by two teenage Palestinian Authority Arab terrorists.
Almost 20 years ago, Rabbi Ben-Tzion and Chanie Krasnianski moved to New York City’s Upper East Side to embark on a major undertaking: the establishment of a Chabad-Lubavitch center to reinvigorate one of the most historically-Jewish neighborhoods of Manhattan. They started out small, but today, seven years into its current 17,000-square-foot educational complex, the Schneerson Center for Jewish Life continues to grow, enhancing the lives of many in the process.

The international Chabad-Lubavitch movement opposed the issue of an Israeli postage stamp to memorialize the last Lubavitcher rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, out of concern that licking the back of it would be “disrespectful.”
It is at once a deeply-rooted Polish neighbourhood with industrial roots where immigrants still speak in their native tongue on the streets. At the same time, Brooklyn’s Greenpoint neighbourhood is a fast-gentrifying area of New York full of young families and working professionals who wish to live close to Manhattan.
Two South Florida women are hoping to create unity between the many diverse cultures inhabiting their local area by having community organizations partner in the construction of a succah that will be classified by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s largest succah made entirely out of Mega Bloks.

Crown Heights [CHI] — A driver attempting to flee after crashing into a school bus caused even more carnage in the wake of his flight. In total, five people were hurt – one, a Lubavitcher Bochur, seriously – after the fleeing vehicle caused a three car pileup.
One of the most-widely attended Jewish film festivals in the United States shined a spotlight on the lives of religious women this week, treating all-female audiences to screenings of a uniquely feminine work of art and a chance to get to know the film’s director.
When Rabbi Mendel Wilmovsky was growing up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn—worldwide home of Chabad Lubavitch, a Chasidic movement of Orthodox Judaism—he never imagined working in Utah, the state that’s the worldwide home of another religious movement, and at a ski resort, no less. Nevertheless, since December, Wilmovsky and Rabbi Yosef Kirszenberg have been overseeing Bistro at Canyons in Park City, the first kosher restaurant in America housed at a ski resort.
