Most people agree that there is a major shidduch challenge in Lubavitch, and that unfortunately it's only getting worse. However, although many ideas have been suggested, no tachlis has come out of all this yet.

In this article, I'll try to outline what I believe are the major causes of the shidduch challenge as well as propose some potential solutions. My goal is that something concrete should come out of all our kvetching, as in the end, what we all want is to end this frustrating and sad issue ASAP.

Please feel free to comment and add any solutions you think may be helpful. I believe if we are to fix the issue, all of Lubavitch has to come together to do it, from all the factions, geographical locations, etc. Achdus is the only way! Besuros tovos!

Like all Mosdos, our small day school is struggling. Many more of our students require financial assistance, and the donations that in the past were difficult to procure have now become next to impossible. I’m sure you are familiar with what I am talking about.

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.
