Chabad Attorney Nathan Lewin will argue for the plaintiff in the Supreme Court. (Note: Nathan Lewin is not representing Chabad in this case.)

Washington, DC [CHI] - On Friday, July 29, 2011, the law firm of Lewin & Lewin, LLP filed its brief on behalf of the petitioner in the case of Menachem Zivotofsky v. Secretary of State Clinton (No. 10-699) which will be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court in November 2011. At issue in the case is the right of a Jerusalem-born American citizen to self identify as born in “Israel” on his or her U.S. passport and birth certificate.

Rabbi Yosef Feldman Sets the Record Straight

Sydney, Australia [CHI] – On 27 July 2011 and on 29 July 2011, a series of false and defamatory allegations were published by the Australian Jewish News concerning Rabbi Yosef Feldman . The article, published under the byline of the AJN’s senior Sydney journalist, Joshua Levi, imputed that Rabbi Feldman was in favour of covering up acts of paedophilia by not reporting those acts to the police. Those statements in the Australian Jewish News were false and are highly damaging to the Rabbi’s high reputation. The Rabbi is presently considering the commencement of legal proceedings against the Australian Jewish News, its editor Zeddy Lawrence and Joshua Levi for defamation.

At Jewish Education Conference, Teachers Study Today’s Child

by R.C. Berman – Lubavitch.com

Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky, Chairman of Merkos and Machne Israel, the educational and social services divisions of Chabad-Lubavitch, addressed the conference.

A child born into a world saturated by the wonders of the internet makes for a student who feels entitled to a highly individualized environment. At a back-to-school conference hosted last week by the Chabad-Lubavitch Office of Education roughly 200 educators explored strategies for transmitting Jewish knowledge and values to today’s children.
