Close to 250 men and women from the greater Monsey Chabad community, including numerous Shluchim and a contingent from Morristown, gathered in Monsey last night for “An Evening of Awareness” dedicated to making parents aware of the inherent dangers that come along with many technologies that our children may be exposed to.
Lubavitcher Yeshiva’s 8th grade recently spent a fun filled day in Washington DC. The students were celebrating graduating elementary and moving up to Mesivta, where each bochur will continue to grow and strive in his learning and Avodas Hashem.
“The education of the children of the Shluchim is on my shoulders.” This well known quote of the Rebbe has proven to be truthful and well founded.
Yet, it is the holy obligation of every shliach and shluchah to invest the effort and energy to ensure that the Rebbe’s words ring true and are met. As a result, various educational institutions have been founded all over the world – all dealing with the universal challenge that we face in our homes – which is also the key to our success on the outside – chutzah – the education of the Shluchim’s kinder.

Landing in a city unknown to them, belongings packed into their car, they embarked on establishing a life for themselves, and to build the foundations of the first permanent Chabad community in Australia’s Capital.

CROWN HEIGHTS [CHI] — Two black teens snatched a purse from two young Jewish women last night, but were caught thanks to alert residents. The incident began after midnight, when the girls were walking on Montgomery St, between Kingston and Brooklyn Ave.
We live in a dual culture – pulled by the Jewish, Chassidic, and uniquely Lubavitcher traditions that bind us, we also seek on some level to integrate into the society around us. Our use of innovations in technology, our homes, and even our clothes, are all the result of the modern world’s influence on our lives. [Note to those that take issue with the belief that any modernity has seeped into our Lubavitcher meta-culture: Our mode of dress – be it the short jacket, the choice of a more modern fedora over the more traditional Russian kasket, or even the relatively modern design of the Kapote (based on the Victorian Prince Albert frock) are all signs of our organic adaptation to the modern world]. The calls of modern life offer a lot of potential. They also give room to incredible danger. It is the tension of spanning this spiritual chasm that we must address if we are to remain viable as a group.
