Coming Soon to a Theater Near You: Animated Clay Rabbis
At a table surrounded by swaying bearded Chasids singing a wordless melody sits a rabbi dressed in white, his long white beard and white head covering completing the ensemble. He appears asleep, but is actually meditating, reaching the furthest mystical heights.

Unique Photos & Invitation To a Farbrengen 1948
Yud-Tes (19) Kislev, marking the release of the first Chabad Rebbe, Shneur Zalman of Liadi, from prison over two centuries ago, is the high point of the Chassidic calendar, eventually becoming known as the “Rosh Hashana of Chassidism.” Every year, followers would make special gatherings in celebration and spiritual reflection; in time Jews of other sects began to honor this special day as well.
