Rock Band Inspired by Jewish Teachings Develops a Campus Following

By Chana Kroll – Chabad.edu

BROOKLYN, NY — It isn’t unusual for a late-night concert at a university to draw the attention of local law enforcement, so Rabbi Elie Estrin wasn’t too concerned when two police officers came up to him to ask when the Saturday night concert at his University of Washington-based Chabad House would be ending. After all, things would be wrapping up in 15 minutes, early for the Seattle school’s Frat Row.

BROOKLYN, NY [CHI] — The Kinus Tzeirei Hashluchim is a project of the Shluchim Office which is underwritten by Merkos Linyonai Chinuch and is a division of Kinus Hashluchim Haolami, which provides a unique opportunity for the sons of Shluchim to draw the same energy and inspiration as their parents do from each year's Kinus. A complete program that manages, in just one full weekend, to unite and inspire the Shluchim's children, the Kinus grows larger and more successful every year. For boys ages 8-12, the annual Kinus is fun, educational, and exciting, with a full schedule of well-planned activities, learning, farbrenging, trips, a visit to the Ohel and more. Throughout the weekend, the children are in a warm, chassidishe environment, supervised by a staff of dedicated madrichim. The Kinus assumes full responsibility for the children's welfare, including all meals and sleeping accommodations, allowing their parents to fully focus on the Kinus.

NEW YORK, NY — An exclusive group of emerging leaders at college campuses across the world kicked off the largest-ever weekend event hosted by the Chabad on Campus International Foundation.

All told, more than 800 Jewish students and recent alumni gathered in Crown Heights, N.Y., for the International Shabbaton and Conference, but participants of the leadership training portion hailed it as groundbreaking in uniting proven leaders from the business and philanthropic fields with the next generation. By the summit’s conclusion, participants had approved a slate of four resolutions to improve Chabad House programming on both the local and international levels.

With inventory being depleted and three glatt kosher meat packing plants out of service, the scramble for glatt kosher meat intensified in markets throughout the country.

The Iowa and Nebraska plants of Agriprocessors as well as the Minnesota plant of Alle Packing, which was shut down due to problems stemming from a fire in June, accounted for the slaughter of over 1,000 cattle a day. Despite discussion of a possible reorganization of Agri, meat cases in stores all over the county were empty this week.

Alex Birman was looking for a little more knowledge. He found a community.

The Annapolis resident goes to classes and religious services offered by Chabad of Anne Arundel County, an outreach and educational center for Jews run by Rabbi Nochum Light and his wife, Hindy.

“I feel there's something communal about it,” Mr. Birman said. “It's important we have these types of opportunities to get together and do things.”

He's been attending classes at Chabad for about two years and has studied everything from portions of the Bible to Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism). The atmosphere at Chabad, he said, is always friendly and open to everyone.

At an open house, Mendelsohn shows Kyle Leede how to put on tefillin in a prayer that Jewish men perform each morning. Doing so “connects mind, heart and soul to God,” says Mendelsohn.

When Rabbi Zalman Mendelsohn arrived in Jackson, Wyo., in May, the first thing he did was open the phone book in search of Jewish-sounding names.

“After making a few phone calls, I realized I wasn't getting anywhere,” Mendelsohn says. “I was finding a lot of wonderful German people living here in Jackson.”
