JTA Wires Report on 28 Sivan Commemorations

The Jewish Telegraphic Agency, one of the most trusted sources of Jewish news worldwide – and referred to by many as the ‘Jewish Associated Press,’ wired a report on the commemoration of the Rebbe’s arrival in America 70 years ago on 28 Sivan – a previously little known date outside the Lubavitch community.

More than a Beautiful Mind

by Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Jacksonville, Fl

Reaching Beyond The Confines Of Our Own Intellectual Bias

Surveying the steep cliff at the edge of a mountain crest, Izzy lost his footing and over he went. Grabbing onto a protruding tree limb, he managed to break the fall, but he knew that his troubles were not quite over. There was no way he could climb up the steep precipice; nor could he hang on much longer. A glance at the canyon’s 1,000 foot drop evoked a barrage of frantic cries for help.

“My dear Izzy,” came the unmistaken voice of G-d, “I heard your call, would you like my help?”

“Oh Lord, I promise to be a good person… l shall be a loyal servant for the rest of my life. Never shall I sin again… Just get me out of this place! Please!”

With Rabbi Abraham Shemtov, fifth from right, by his side, President Ronald Reagan reviews a proclamation in honor of the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s 86th birthday.

Gathering in the brand-new National Museum of American Jewish History just steps from Philadelphia’s Independence Hall, guests from across the nation’s birthplace and its environs marked the upcoming 17th anniversary of the passing of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, by examining a never-before-told story of how intensive diplomacy at the highest-levels of government resulted in the release of a large group of Soviet Jewry.
