Yeshiva World News

A newspaper clipping from when Meir Baranes ran over Rabbi Levi Bistritzky A”H in Tzfas.

Yediot Achronot correspondent Akiva Novik recorded a conversation with Meir Baranes, who was informed the conversation was recorded and consented. He told Novik that in 45 days, on 19 Kislev, the Chag HaGeula for Chabadnikim, he or a messenger of his would murder Rav Ovadia Yosef Shlita. Baranes is currently incarcerated in a psychiatric institution pending evaluation.

Shturem

Sixteen squares in the city of Eilat will receive names, and one of them will be named Chabad Square (Kikar Chabad). The square will honor the wonderful work of the Rebbe’s Shluchim to Eilat, who are famous for their dedication to the spiritual and material welfare of the eilat residents and tourists.

18 years ago today, the 14th of Cheshvan 1993, was the last time we saw the Rebbe 'B'Gashmiyus' as he made his last appearance in 770. The following poem, submitted by one of our readers, was written as a 'Pan' - a letter torn up and placed in the Rebbe's ohel. It expresses the feelings of all chassidim who yearn to see the Rebbe's holy face once again.

Yosef Peysin and Mordy Kurtz, both from Chicago, love what they do. The duo formed a band named 'Rogers Park,' an ode to their hometown, and have been traveling the world with a message ever since. Although music is the primary tool the band uses to connect to their audience, a combination of humour, storytelling, and teachings of Chassidus make up the balance of the evening's entertainment.

Victim of IDF Fire Learned and Taught Chassidus

Shturem

Rabbi Dan Martzbach, OBM

The Otniel settlement near Chevron mourns the tragic death of Rabbi Dan Martzbach, killed by IDF fire. R’ Dan was mistakenly taken for a terrorist, driving without headlights and not responding to soldiers’ call to come to a stop. Rabbi Martzbach, 55 years old, was a beloved figure in Chevron, and an avid participant in the farbrengens and Chassidus shiurim at the local Chabad House run by Shliach Rabbi Yosef Dahan. He was also a participant at the shiurei Tanya taught by Rabbi Kalman Druk for many years.
