Largest Jewish Camp Network in World Turns 55

by Malina Saval and Joshua Runyan – Chabad.org

Campers at the original Camp Gan Israel in upstate New York pose for a group picture in 1958.

In the spring of 1956, faculty of the central Chabad-Lubavitch grade-school yeshiva in New York, including its dean, Rabbi Chaim Meir Bukiet, sought a solution to the distinctly modern problem of summer vacation: They had no place to send their students to continue their studies during the summer months.

Rabbi YY Jacobson – Israel’s Significance Today

The state of Israel means many different things to different people. There are those that see it as an entirely political entity, those who believe its creation is an indication of the immanent redemption and even others who, while they see the physical land as holy, do not believe that the political state holds any spiritual significance.

Loan to Russian Museum Cancled over Chabad Archive

New York Times, Art Info

New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has canceled plans to loan items by fashion designer Paul Poiret to the Kremlin Museum, making that show the latest casualty in an ongoing legal and diplomatic dispute that has suspended Russian loans to American museums. The conflict centers on an archive of thousands of religious books and documents that has been held in Russia since World War II. Last August, a United States court ruled that the Brooklyn-based Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement had rightful ownership to the trove, and Russia banned all exhibitions traveling to the United States in response.
