by Rabbi Yair Hoffman - 5 Town Jewish Times

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!

Twenty Bochurim. Five Days. One Extraordinary Mashpia.
