Op-Ed: What Chabad-Lubavitch and Modern Orthodox Communities Can Teach Each Other

by Rachel Renz – YU Beacon

Oholei Torah bochurim learn Chasidus with students at Yeshiva University on a Thursday night.

I think it’s high time there was some new cultural diffusion. I don’t mean cultural diffusion on a grand scale, where one nation spreads its lifestyles and outlooks to another nation or anything of the sort. Rather, I am proposing a small-scale exchange of ideas, lifestyles, and philosophies within two sectors of the Jewish world: Modern Orthodoxy and Chabad Lubavitch.

An interesting video of the Sanz-Klausenburger Rebbe's Tisch at the end of Yom-Tov, where he carries out the custom of throwing apples to the crowd of gathered chassidim as a symbol of blessing. The Chassidim break out into the joyous [Chabad] niggun of “Vaharikosi Lochem Brocho,” and what appears to be the Klausenburg version of “Yechi Adoneinu.”

Op-Ed: Dancing at My Daughter’s Wedding with Rubashkin on My Mind

by Rabbi Shmuley Boteach

With one week left to the wedding of my eldest child, I am looking forward not so much to the occasion as to simply seeing my daughter married to her fiancé. I want to dance with abandon at my daughter’s celebration, but I am an informal person and the formality of a wedding leaves me cold. I’m fortunate that most of the heavy lifting has been done by people much more responsible than me. My wife, whose husband abandoned her to the labor. Eddie Izzo, the gentlemanly and professional head of Main Event Catering, Penny Rabinowitz of Save the Day Events, and finally the Rockleigh Country Club, who are black belts at Jewish weddings.
