Chabad’s mitzvah-smart mobile was a sight in contrasts at last week’s Cannes Film Festival. During the week-long event, the city’s normal population numbers of 70,000 swells to 200,000. Many were pleased to meet up with Chabad, and welcomed the offer to do a mitzvah and take a few minutes to reflect amid the endless partying.

Everybody is concerned about the plight of the Palestinian people. Peace process, roadmaps, united nations and Arab leagues. And even some bleeding heart Jews.

For over 60 years a group of Arabs have been held up in refugee camps in various Arab countries. Not allowed to settle down or to acquire citizenship in any Arab country.

At 10:30 this morning one of the candidates running for the Elections in the Vaad Hakohol announced his resignation citing the Psak Din, which we reported on early this morning.

His announcement stated: “With much disappointment I regret to inform you that last night (5/19/09) I received a Psak Din (dated 5/18/09) prohibiting my involvment with the upcoming elections. The Psak labels the election as Illegal. Considering that Unity and Humility must (at times) come before freedom, I beg the apology of all the people that supported me and all the caring hearts that yearned swift change. I hereby announce my resignation from candidacy to the CHJCC.”

A few years ago, my son came home from Yeshiva. He told me about the discussions of the day in Yeshiva concerning the arguments between Rabbi Osdoba and Rabbi Schwai regarding the necessity of a filter for tap water. My son told me that the discussion became very heated amongst the bachurim and everyone began taking sides. I asked my son, “Which side did you take?“ He answered me, “When it comes to Rabbanim, I don’t take sides.”

I also have tried very hard to stay neutral, and B”H maintain a good relationship with both Rabbonim.
