Testing Muscles and Minds
by Abby Kulawitz – The Justice
Peretz Chein seems like a traditional Chabad rabbi-except for the fact that he reads Maimonides teachings from his BlackBerry and runs marathons in his spare time.
On Oct. 25, Rabbi Peretz Chein, the rabbi and director of Chabad at Brandeis, ran the Cape Cod Marathon with the Chabad Brandeis Marathon Team. Five of the team’s members are current Brandeis students: Yoni Cohen ’10, Josh Jick ’12, Meir Krinsky ’11, Dan Litwok ’10 and Justin Meltzer ’11. Two alumni, Michael Kann ’81 and Aaron Voldman ’09, also ran with the team.
