Op-Ed: R. Shea Hecht on the Court Case of the Shomrim 6: A Very Sad Day for Klal Yisroel, and Lubavitch
by Rabbi Shea Hecht
As the days of Pesach were approaching, an alcoholic man went to visit a community Rov with an interesting dilemma. “Rabbi, I’m a recovering alcoholic. Even though I could not control my drinking, I always stayed out of trouble. I always managed to manage my home and professional life, and I never put myself or anyone else in danger. I have been clean for a number of years, and I would like to fulfill the mitzvah of the Four Cups on wine instead if grape juice this year.”
Without a moment of hesitation the Rov answered, “Absolutely not.”
Despite the man’s explanations and protests, the Rov was adamant.
Some days before Yom Tov, this man came across the Rov in the street.
“You know, Rabbi, after I met with you, I explained my situation to another Rov, and he gave me a heter to use wine!”

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.
‘We Desperately Need To Get Back To Theology’: An Interview with Rabbi Chaim Miller
By Elliot Resnick for the Jewish Press
“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.
