Rabbi Eliezer Zaklikovsky of the Chabad Jewish Center of Monroe stands with children from Cheder Philadelphia in a garden depicting the seven kabalistic worlds during a Jan. 25 program at Cheder Menachem. The event celebrated the 60th anniversary of Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson’s assuming leadership of Chabad Lubavitch.

Each day almost 40 children gather at Cheder Menachem in North Brunswick to learn the teachings of the Rebbe, the late Menachem Mendel Schneerson, that are so central to the Chabad Lubavitch movement.

There is a growing tendency among the Torah world to reject technology and innovation. The rejection has reached an extremeness bordering on a Talibanesque fundamentalism, unseen throughout our history. A good case can be made that this rejection runs counter to true Torah Judaism, and should not be subsumed under the rubric of Ailu veAilu divrei Elokim Chaim.

Chabad at the Winter Olympics

The festivities of this past Shabbos in the hosting village of the Winter Games – Whistler, British Columbia – were memorable. Tens of Jews convened at the exclusive Pan Pacific Hotel located at the base of Whistler Mountain. People flocked to the hotel from communities in Hong Kong, Colorado, California, Kitchner, Ontario and more. Mike Flint, movie producer and participant of the past twelve Olympics, said, “Chabad has never had such a prime spot in the Olympics.”

I loved the irony. It was intense, yet settling; theoretical yet practical. We were in a quiet town about sixty miles from Crown Heights, yet in a Yeshiva-like atmosphere. It was warm despite the 2 feet of snow piled outside!
