Man Who Coined Term “Chabad House” Passed Away
Boruch (Dave) Berenson OBM, from the first mekuravim of Chabad in California, passed away today. He is credited for coining the term “Chabad House,” on reference to Chabad-Lubavitch outreach centers. He was also a survivor of the infamous Westwood Chabad fire, which prompted the creation of the Chabad Telethon. He was very beloved to many of the original Chabad Shluchim’s children (many today shluchim themselves) for driving them to school for many, many years.
