WNYC Radio had Reggae-Rapper Matisyahu on for an interview today, to talk about his new, beardless, look. Although he called this “the biggest transformation of his life,” Matisyahu assured his fans that he is still an observant Jew, and pointed out that the very next morning after removing his beard he went to the Mikvah and Davened Shachris with a Minyan. He said his wife and kids, who are in California, did not yet see him without his facial hair.

Home to national parks and resort ski slopes, Wyoming is currently without a Jewish ritual bath. One community is trying to change that.

For most women, heading to the mikvah – the ritual bath that lies at the heart of Jewish family purity laws – does not involve surprise encounters with wild animals, traipsing through three-feet of snow or hacking through a frozen river in subzero temperatures to reach flowing water.

‘Canorah’ Brings Light, Cheer – and Food – to Students

Jewish Tribune

The stereotype of university students surviving on macaroni and cheese and instant soup is an enduring one, but with the economic downturn there are some who may not be able to afford even those basic items. Last week, Chabad@York University organized an early Chanukkah celebration attended by all Jewish campus groups that also acknowledged this sombre situation.
