When I volunteered for the Israel Defense Forces, I had no idea what was rocketing towards me. And, although I'm never going to be the same person I was before the injury, the surprising turn of events gave me the opportunity to do something truly special.

A Rosh Yeshiva in Bnei Brak sought council by Litvisher Gadol Rabbi Aharon Leib Shteinman regarding a parent who wanted to enroll two children from a second marriage into his school. The Rosh Yeshiva did not want to accept them since they weren't the model student the school seeks to accept. Speaking in line with the ideas of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Shteinman sharply criticized the school - calling it Gaavah not to accept every student.

Misnagdim Attempt to Burn Down Chabad House

Kikar Hashabat

Rabbi Motti Kenig, director of Chabad of Modi’in Ilit, is not easily shocked by threats and harassment. These are things he has gotten used to over the past few years, ever since he opened a Chabad House in the middle of a Litvak-Charedi town, and began to teach Chassidus to Yiden who were thirsting for the knowledge.
