Shmuley Boteach: Obama’s Victory is a Triumph for Every Jewish Man, Woman, and Child
November 4th, 2008, 11pm, Times Square, New York City — The taxis horns are honking, the young people are jumping. Barack Obama has just been declared President-elect of the United States.

You don’t even know me. “Because I’m from Israel. And I didn’t either.” Interesting assumption. That Jews are not applauding the election of America’s first black President.

Eyewitness account of the Rebbe’s arrival in America!
Chassidim and friends of Lubavitch have a vivid memory of the Previous Rebbe’s arrival in America on 9 Adar II (March 19), 1940 in front of a large crowd, but not many were present when the Rebbe and Rebbetzin arrived in 28 Sivan (June 23), 1941. Rabbi Yitzchok Groner, OBM, was present at the pier that fateful day and was interviewed by JEM in January, 2006. The Previous Rebbe sent out a few Chassidim to the pier and Rabbi Groner, a young teenager at the time, went along with his father. He vividly recalls that day and will be featured in the upcoming film, The Early Years, Volume IV which is due to come out in a few weeks.
