Students at Leeds University in England glimpsed life in one of the world’s oldest Jewish communities last weekend through the recollections of Edwin Shuker, an expatriate Iraqi who fled his Arabian homeland as a boy.

“My particular passion was the teachings of the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson.” Born to an unobservant family in London, Rabbi Chaim Miller first encountered the Lubavitcher Rebbe's teachings as a student at Leeds University. “His discourses impressed me in terms of their tremendous intellectual depth and brilliance,” he recalls.

Today, he is dedicated to disseminating these teachings to as wide an audience as possible. His Kol Menachem publishing house, which he founded in 2002 with philanthropist Meyer Gutnik, has already produced a number of popular works with extensive commentary culled from the Lubavitcher Rebbe's public discourses and writings - the Gutnik Chumash, the Kol Menachem Haggadah and two books on the Rambam's 13 principles of faith.

The Jewish Press recently spoke with Rabbi Miller about his background and Kol Menachem's latest volume, The 13 Principles of Faith: Principles VI & VII.

Photos: Chabad Youth Network’s Shabbaton!

But for the nearly 100 participants from the Greater Toronto Area who participated in the Chabad Youth Network New York Shabbaton, with Rabbi Shmuli Nachlas – CYN, along with Rabbi Meir Gitlin of Chabad Markham, gave these teens some very different things to remember.
