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!”

“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!

Usually, it’s the shopping on Canal Street and the never-dimming lights of Times Square that create the biggest impact on visitors to the City that never sleeps. 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.
