The ancient Israelite nation was founded and built by many great men of impeccable character, whose devotion to God and righteousness were imbued in every fiber of their being. There was Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, and Aaron, to name but a few. However, only Jacob was given a second name by God himself, which was the name “Israel.” And the question arises, what was Jacob’s uniqueness among our forefathers that earned him this name? And what was it about his life and deeds that merited him to have this new name become the future appellation of the entire Israelite people?

The Chabad movement’s emissaries in cities and backwater villages throughout the world are often described as an army. This week I had a rare opportunity to observe their field officers at ease.
