The Rebbe of Karlin-Stolin, Rabbi Boruch Shochet, visited the Lubavitch Shul in Baku, Azerbaijan last night. The Shul, led by Rabbi Shneor Segal, was recently featured in international news headlines due to a foiled Iranian terror plot against the Shliach and the local institutions. The pictures are unclear and badly focused due to the fact that the Karliner Rebbe goes through much effort to avoid being photographed.

Lessons in Education: Parents’ Responsibility

In the second segment of this series, Rabbi Nochum Kaplan discusses the first “mentch” lesson our children need to internalize; that they matter, what they do matters and how they do it matters and is important, even to the Al-mighty himself. That’s why they need to learn to carefully consider what they do and to learn to make responsible choices.

Op-Ed: America’s Fascination with Chassidic Women

by Chava Tombosky – Algemeiner

Pearl Reich on the Dr. Phil program

I was invited to attend the Dr. Phil show last week to offer commentary on their feature story about a young and beautiful woman who had a tale of unsettling circumstances in regard to her Chassidic background. As the Dr. Phil show unfolded, I listened intently to a young woman named Pearl Reich who, at the age of seventeen, was betrothed to a man for whom she was clearly unsuited, at her parents’ discretion and against her will.
