Op-Ed: The Crown Heights Riots

by Eliyahu Federman

Healing racial tensions between the black and Jewish community of Crown Heights is imperative for the two groups to co-exist. No one disputes that. I certainly don’t. In fact, after the 1991 Crown Heights riots the Lubavitcher Rebbe, in looking toward the future, told Mayor Dinkins that the black and Jewish communities are “one side, one people, living in one city.”

Shluchim’s ‘Do as I Do’ Approach in Raising Children

Chautauqua Daily

Every morning, 11-year old Mendel Vilenkin wakes up with a kippah on his head. He climbs down from his top bunk, sits next to his bed and pours water over his hands, alternating three times in a ritual washing — known as negel vasser or “nail water” — to begin the day of service to God. Eight-year-old Shmuel also knows the morning rhythm.

Sun, Surf and Shabbos on Spain’s Sun Coast

A Jewish concert sponsored by Chabad drew 2000 people to a bullring in Estepona last week.

For the kosher traveler, vacationing often requires more careful packing and planning. Outside of well traveled Jewish destinations, kosher restaurants—prevalent and popular as they are—are still few and far between. And staples like glatt kosher chicken, meat, and even dairy products (of strict kosher certification standards) are not readily available in local supermarkets.

Artist’s rendering of the new Chabad Center for Jewish Life in Agoura Hills, opening September 2011.

One year after they opened Chabad of Agoura Hills in 1986, Chabad officials decided to hold a Chanukah festival at an Agoura Hills mall. They put up a menorah and, soon thereafter, received an anonymous phone call demanding its removal.

Amidst ’91 Coup, Russian Jewry Kept Summer Camps Open

by Joshua Runyan – chabad.org

Children and their counselors pose for a group photo at a Chabad-Lubavitch run summer camp outside Moscow in the early 1990s.

As the world watched hard-line Communists make their last-ditch effort 20 years ago to reclaim control of the fracturing Soviet Union, a young Rabbi Berel Lazar was due to return to Moscow. Lazar, a Chabad-Lubavitch emissary who was then rabbi of the Russian capital’s Marina Roscha district, had been in New York attending to his wife and newborn baby. The August coup of 1991 – known popularly as the Putsch – began a day before their scheduled return.
