Farbrengen video of the Rebbe talking about how one should never speak disparagingly of a Jew in public. If your aim is to teach them right from wrong, then speak in a way that will be heard – in a gentle and positive way.

He isn't a rabbi in the typical sense of the word, but David Lazerson is nevertheless known as the “Rappin' Reggae Rabbi.”

Why?

Because since the 1970s, he's developed a reputation as an internationally-celebrated musician and educator acclaimed for his work with special needs students in gritty, inner-city schools.

“The word 'rabbi' just means 'teacher,'” he said. “In a way, it fits in good with my career.”

His career has been all over the place. He's performed before Congress, at Woodstock reunions, even with the Grateful Dead.

Recently, Newsweek published a list, “The 50 Most Influential Rabbis in America,” and placed Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky at No. 1. New York Times reporter, Deborah Solomon took this opportunity to ask him a few questions.

Newsweek just published a list, “The 50 Most Influential Rabbis in America,” and placed you at No. 1. As a Hasidic rabbi and a leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, do you think you can rank rabbis or any other religious leaders as if they were athletes?

I am of the opinion that you can’t rank human beings. Every person has something to contribute to the welfare of the next human being. No two people think alike or look alike, and everyone has something that another person does not have. Who’s to say who is higher and who’s lower? In terms of the essence of human beings, I don’t feel it’s proper to rank them because we don’t really know what their mission in life is.
