When Noah Gross, 21, headed to Brooklyn, N.Y., for the Chabad on Campus International Student Shabbaton and Conference, he wasn’t really sure what to expect, or if it’d really be the combination of fellow students, lectures, and community his campus rabbi had been promising.

Op-Ed: Another 11th Grader Writes…

Kickoff Farbrengen, attended by the Girls’ High School division of the Online School, and being broadcast live online. Please note: Faces were blurred at the request of those photographed.

Hi, I’m an eleventh grader. Another eleventh grader wrote about how hard it is for girls in Crown Heights and other big Lubavitch schools to swim against the tide. One of the things that actually helps us teenagers create positive peer pressure is Achos Hatmimim (which deserves a whole article onto itself).

But what about the girls who don’t even have that??

Op-Ed Response: Chabad. Period.

by Yitzchok Wagshul

Rabbi Shimon Raichik of Los Angeles recently wrote that he does not wish to enter directly into the “Chabad-Lite” issue, but simply to urge that we turn to the Rebbe for guidance. He quoted several passages from a published letter of the Rebbe, of which the following is representative:

Jewish Women Connect Through Baking Challah

Herald-Tribune

An egg wash is brushed onto braided loaves of challah bread before they are baked during the workshop at Chabad of Venice & North Port.

Growing up in Brooklyn, N.Y., Rivka Schmerling remembers her grandmother making challah, an egg bread symbolically eaten in the Jewish tradition. The aroma of the fresh bread baking in the oven took over the entire house.

Friendship Circle Walk Inspires Community

by Chanie Kaminker

LIVINGSTON, NJ [CHI] — Last month’s surprise snowstorm wreaked havoc in the northeast. It brought down trees and power lines, leaving hundreds of thousands of New Jersey residents in the dark and cold for days. It also pushed off the much anticipated 5th Annual Friendship Circle Walk, originally scheduled for October 30. On Sunday, November 13, the walk finally took place, with a record number of more than 1,500 men, women and children, joining together to walk in support of children and teens with special needs.

Blog: The Chabad Connection

by Hannah Lee – Philadelphia Jewish Voice

Jews who travel know to contact the local Chabad rabbi in whatever city they find themselves to seek help about kosher food and Shabbat accommodations. The local Chabad website will have that week’s Shabbat candle lighting time and parshah (Bible portion), even when the traveller’s own congregation’s website may not be as current. This free service is extended to all Jews, regardless of religious background; but sometimes, the Chabad connection goes beyond the normal call of duty.
