By the time dessert was cleared, Sheva had a hunch that Michael Corwin, 29, was a perfect match for Julie Ames, a fellow volunteer.

The Chabad Chasidic movement is, perhaps, more known for its advancement of the study of Chasidic philosophy and the Chasidic way of life, than its innovations in the field Jewish law and custom. Indeed, R. Schneur Zalman is known not only as the author of Tanya (the written Torah of Chasidism) but as the author of the Shulchan Aruch. To many of his contemporaries and in successive generations, he is known simply as “the Rav.”
As his right hand man and associate in all matters of leadership and scholarship, esoteric to the exoteric, as architect helping to shape the structure of the Chabad movement and as chief editor of his brother’s works--R Yehuda Leib had strong influence on the direction and form the fledgling Chabad Lubavitch movement would take.

THE REAL CROWN HEIGHTS ELECTION RESULTS
CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — Sunday night we reported the election tally, but that was hardly a reflection of the real outcome of the elections. Monday afternoon and Today, Tuesday the new Vaad began their tenure by taking control of the Community Council and Vaad Hakohol Offices by force, in a massive display of Chilul Hashem, and the opposite of which these bodies are to represent.
Both parties clashed in a spar of verbal assaults and the removal of people from the offices by force. Property was damaged and windows were broken, as members of the opposing factions tried to change locks while others attempted to hold possession of the premises.
