Chabad at Yale Breaks Ground at New Premises

Yale Daily News

The new Chabad house at 36 Lynwood Place will provide more space and resources for overcrowded Shabbat dinners, services and social events.

Chabad at Yale, a Jewish organization that hosts Shabbat dinners and services open to people of all faiths, prides itself on being a tight-knit community. But its current house is a bit too tight.

When Rabbi DovBer of Lubavitch was a young man, he lived in the same house as his father, Rabbi Schneur Zalman, the founder of the Chabad movement. Rabbi DovBer and his family lived in the ground floor apartment, and Rabbi Schneur Zalman lived on the second floor.

Op-Ed: Are Our Noses Too Big?

A Birdseye view of Lefferts Park.

I’m sitting in Lefferts Park. I am horrified by the surroundings.

On one side I see a Jewish mom dressed like she comes from Park Slope, on the other, I see a dad who supposed to be watching his kids but is too engrossed in what looks like a serious phone call, as his children run around the opposite end of the park. Then I see a wonderful looking woman, she appears to be Hispanic, who is pushing a nice Jewish meidele on the swing while feeding her a delicious milchig chocolate bar. As I look over my shoulder I see a Jewish kid playing basketball without a yarmulkah.

A Tribute: Michel Schwartz, 86

by Dovid Zaklikowski – Chabad.org

Famed artist Michel Schwartz poses in front of one of his signature works featuring a Hebrew script he developed.

Master of Hebrew calligraphy Michel Schwartz, who was cherished for his big heart as much as for his creative art, passed away at the age of 86. His work adorned the walls and tables of Israeli presidents and prime ministers, but for Schwartz, whose biggest projects included illustrating promotional and educational materials on behalf of the educational arm of Chabad-Lubavitch, the greatest honor was to ignite another Jew’s interest in Judaism.
