CrownHeights.info and the Avner Institute is happy to present, a unique audience that took place between the Rebbe and a Jew from France. Yosef, a Sorbonne professor, was a ba’al teshuva [returnee to Judaism] exploring his heritage and bursting with questions about Chabad and the Rebbe himself. The Rebbe’s answers convey his heartfelt concerns not only toward his new guest but for all of his fellow Jews. Special thanks to Rabbi Yosef Gurevitch for his reminiscence of the encounter. to learn more about the Rebbe visit: portraitofaleader.org

There was ominous news buried deep in the financial plan released last week by Gov. Paterson's budget office: Five years hence, one in every four New Yorkers will be on Medicaid.And that will drive the state's Medicaid spending — at nearly $50 billion a year, already the most lavish in the land — to even more astronomical levels.
True, some of this is due to the current climate: More people unemployed means more people forced onto the taxpayer-financed medical program.
