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.

Brooklyn Makes a Comeback

by Alan J. Steinberg – Newsroom

Ebbets Field – home of the Brooklyn Dodgers – in the 1930s (L); Barclays Center – Future home of the Brooklyn Nets – today (R).

Ask people what their favorite place is in America, and you will get many and varied answers. For some, the answer will be sites of natural beauty, such as the Grand Canyon or Yellowstone National Park. For others, the answer will be places of historic interest in Washington, D.C., such as the Lincoln Memorial, the White House, and the Washington Monument. For those who live for life’s excitement, the answer will be the dazzling skylines of Manhattan or Chicago.

You will get your most unusual answer from me: My favorite place in the United States of America is Brooklyn, New York, for its present, past, and future!

Jewish Communities Reflect on 17th Anniversary of Rebbe’s Passing

by Reuvena Leah Grodnitzky – Chabad.org

Former Israeli Chief Rabbi Israel Meir Lau addresses a Michigan event commemorating the anniversary of the Rebbe’s passing.

Jewish communities around the world are preparing for commemorative events celebrating the life and leadership of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory. Timed to coincide with the 17th anniversary of the Rebbe’s passing on the third day of the Hebrew month of Tammuz, the myriad Chasidic gatherings, study sessions and inspirational lectures will focus on different aspects of teachings and work, but will all reflect the Rebbe’s clarion call for Jewish unity.

Iranian Hitler May Have to Resign in Coming Weeks

Independent

Iranian President Mahmoud ahmadinejad

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran’s irascible, unpredictable but devout president, may be forced to resign in the coming weeks as a political crisis far greater than the massive street violence which followed his re-election in 2009 threatens to overwhelm him and his court favourites in the government.
