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!”

Philadelphia Forum Examines Behind-the-Scenes Effort to Save Soviet Jewry

by Reuvena Leah Grodnitzky – Chabad.org

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.

This Tuesday will mark the 17th year since the passing of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rav Menachem Mendel Schneerson. Looking at the growth of the Chabad movement worldwide, these past 17 years are a testament to the words of the Sages, “The righteous, even following their passing, are called alive.” All that the Rebbe stood for, felt passionate about, and initiated during his 45-year tenure as leader of Chabad has been elevated to the next level.
