(L) Admiral Canaris, commander of the Nazi Abwehr

Chabad Lubavitch presented a request Monday to Yad Vashem to recognize a high-ranking military commander in the Third Reich as a righteous gentile for saving Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef Schneerson, the sixth Chabad rebbe.

Admiral Canaris, commander of the Nazi Abwehr, or intelligence, had a central role in securing Schneerson's escape from the Warsaw Ghetto along with members of Schneerson's family and entourage, said Yosef Kaminetzky, a writer who recently completed a book on the escape story.

Over the course of my work, I end up treating many patients for alcohol abuse. But in the beginning, very few of them actually come to me worried about whether they might be alcoholics. Most of them come for help with depression, marital discord, stress at work or anxiety.

Many of these men and women never considered themselves problem drinkers. They don't drink every day and don't get drunk every time they drink. They may have stopped drinking for weeks or months at a time, without having any signs of withdrawal.

The 15th of Av corresponds this year to Wednesday, August 15th. Of this date on the Jewish calendar, the Mishna says, “There were no holidays so joyous for the Jewish People as the Fifteenth of Av and Yom HaKippurim, for on those days, daughters of Jerusalem would go out dressed in borrowed white dresses.

A Maamar the Rebbe Broadcast From His Room – Now in English

A Chasidic discourse the Rebbe delivered in 1977, as he was recuperating from a heart attack he had suffered that year, has been translated into English.

A new volume in the popular Chasidic Heritage Series was released today, entitled “The Path to Selflessness.”

It is a translation of Yehuda Atah 5738, delivered by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson on the eve of the fast of the Tenth of Tevet 5738 (1977).

At that time, the Rebbe was recuperating from a heart attack he had suffered on the night of Shemini Atzeret, and would periodically deliver addresses from his office at Lubavitch World Headquarters, by way of a special hookup system, to the main synagogue.

16-year-old Ethan Berg never imagined he would celebrate his bar mitzvah with two New York rabbis inside the walls of a military chapel on Guam. “It was very meaningful. I've never had that. Interesting experience. It was so beautiful,” he said.

A local chapel was dedicated to members of Jewish faith by the US Navy and the Air Force in 1976. Now the two Rabbis that are here today from Brooklyn, New York are hoping to infuse some fire and a little spark into the Jewish community on base locally.
