Lubavitch.com

In an age of constant contact and an almost umbilical attachment to an array of communications devices where what is important is often displaced by what seems to be urgent, the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (JLI) is launching a course on Shabbos: the block of time where nothing intrudes on the peace and sanctity of being fully present with ourselves, our family, our Maker.

The Half-Jewish Nazi Who Saved the Lubavitcher Rebbe

by Raphael Ahren – Ha’aretz

Thanks to the late Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, Chabad Lubavitch is a well-known and powerful Hasidic movement, with 4,000 emissaries now stationed around the world. But few people know that the rebbe’s predecessor, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneerson, owes his life to a half-Jewish Nazi officer acting under the direct order of the head of the Third Reich’s military intelligence agency.
