Swedish Jews Get Help to Fight Anti-Semitism

Forward

Rabbi Shneur Kesselman, the Chabad Shliach in Malmo, Sweden, is subject to more Anti-Semitic incidents per year than any other Shliach in the world.

Jews in Malmo, Sweden, lately a hotbed of anti-Semitic attacks, are responding positively to the Swedish government’s decision to devote $622,000 to security for Sweden’s Jewish community.

A Tribute: Michel Schwartz, 86

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.

Noted Political Hack Becomes a Chabad Rabbi

Jewish week

For 30 years, Hank Sheinkopf has been offering his advice to candidates and his analysis of the political landscape to the media. Now, he’s also fielding questions about halacha and offering comfort to the spiritually afflicted – as a newly ordained Orthodox rabbi.

The following is a letter written by Reb Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin last night following the devastating news on Friday that a federal appeals court denied his request for new trial. Please continue davening for Sholom Mordechai Halevi Ben Rivka.

Debate Brews Over Chabad Sukkah in Tribeca Park

Tribeca Trib

Tribeca’s Duane Park, at Hudson and Duane Street, is the center of a debate over whether a Jewish group should be allowed next month to place a sukkah in the park.

Disagreement over the appropriateness of a sukkah in Tribeca’s Duane Park is putting the fate of that proposal, by an orthodox Jewish group, in limbo.

Marking ten years to the terror attacks on September 11th 2001, a memorial has been unveiled in tribute to the 2,977 whose lives were snuffed out that day. Photographer Bentzi Sasson was there to capture the spirit of the memorial.

Jews and Politics: In G-D We Trust?

“The Roots of Violence: Wealth without work, Pleasure without conscience, Knowledge without character, Commerce without morality, Science without humanity, Worship without sacrifice, Politics without principles” (Mahatma Gandhi)

This past week has been a very somber and moving one, with the commemoration of the tenth anniversary of 9/11. This unique moment has left many of us asking ourselves, where are we as a nation ten years later? Are we more secure, resilient and safe since?
