When Daniel Popov’s grandmother was a little girl, she was rounded up with her family by the Nazis, and made to wait for a transport. As they were standing in line, the little girl’s mother asked her to get her some water. Strangely, the Nazi officer allowed her out of the line. When she returned, everyone was gone. The entire group had been transported to Zmievskaya Balka, where they were murdered.

ULY Students Awarded for Tanya Baal Peh Achievements

A view of the participating boys, with (from L to R), Rabbi Yoseph Y. Simpson, principal, Rabbi Mordechai Kanelsky, Mrs. Shterney Kanelsky and their sons, Mendy and Zalmy, students at Lubavitcher Yeshiva/

Seventy one students of the United Lubavitcher Yeshiva in Crown Heights learned Tanya Ba’al Peh as part of a program begun by Rabbi Mordechai and Mrs. Shterney Kanelsky of the Bris Avrohom Center in Hillside, New Jersey. The Bas Sheva Mitzvah Campaign to Greet Moshiach was launched in loving memory of their beloved daughter, Bat Sheva ob”m, who passed away seven years ago. The fact that there were seventy one students who participated in the program this year at the Lubavitcher Yeshiva is significant because this is the 71st anniversary of the institution in America.

Rabbi Yisroel Bernath leads a popular class on Jewish mysticism at Chabad of NDG in Montreal, Canada’s West End.

If you’re young, hip, Jewish and living in Montreal, you might know Rabbi Yisroel Bernath.

He’s the 27-year-old Chabad-Lubavitch rabbi who makes a point of getting around town and connecting with the mostly young, unaffiliated Jews who call the trendy Monkland Village area home. Since opening in November 2008, his Chabad of NDG – a reference to the neighborhood’s official name on Montreal’s West End – has been packing them in, leading locals to speak in terms of a spiritual revival taking place.
