by Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Jax Fl.

Weeping uncontrollably, a distraught mother one day paid a frantic call to a Chassidic Rebbe. “Rebbe,” she exclaimed, “It’s my son; he’s acting really strange; I think he needs a psychiatrist!”

“What’s the matter,” inquired the Rebbe, visibly concerned.

“The matter?” cried the woman, “He’s behaving like a lowlife! He has been seen dancing with gentile women and dining on swine, SWINE! I’m telling you, he went Mishuga.

Ignoring Alcohol Abuse in Yeshiva Won’t Make it go Away

Rabbi Dr Pinny Young speaking to the crowd.

BUFFALO, NY, [CHI] — Recent studies have determined that alcohol ranks “most harmful” among a list of 20 drugs, according to an article on the study released by The Lancet Journal last November. Yet in many yeshivos Adar ushers in a month of fabrengens and of course L’chaim! Many young bochurim will be exposed to tremendous peer pressure to take a sip, and unwittingly start on the road to a terrible addiction. In Buffalo, Mesivta Menachem has taken preemptive action.

‘Trailblazing’ Chaplain Leaves his Mark on Canadian Armed Forces

by Haskell Nussbaum – Jewish Tribune

Outgoing Canadian Armed Forces chaplain Rabbi Chaim Mendelsohn shakes hands with former chaplain Gen. Stan Johnstone.

OTTAWA – A rabbi, a minister and an imam walk into a barracks… The Canadian Armed Forces had hundreds of Christian chaplains, the Maltese Cross in its symbol, and “Onward Christian Soldiers” as the official March Past, but in 2007, after Chabad-Lubavitch Rabbi Chaim Mendelsohn became the first rabbi to serve as a chaplain since World War II, things began to change.
