BROOKLYN, NY [CHI] — In time for Gimmel Tammuz, with help from the Rebbe's secretaries, a very special Yechidus (Private audience) has been recovered and carefully transcribed. In the summer of 1959 the Rebbe met with a group of directors from Hillel, the Foundation for Jewish Campus Life, and engaged in a question-and-answer session. What is the Rebbe's role in the world? Why didn't the Previous Rebbe establish Chabad headquarters in Israel, instead of New York?

WARSAW, Poland [Reuters] — Nearly 70 years after most of his family was wiped out in the Holocaust, Shmuel Glitzenstein is proudly fulfilling what he knows they would have wanted.

Glitzenstein and eight other young men have just become the first rabbis ordained in Poland since World War Two, the latest sign of a revival of Jewish culture and spirituality in one of its historic heartlands.

DNEPROPETROVSK, Ukraine [FJC] — On the outskirts of Dnepropetrovks, near the village of Igren, a ceremony took place for the opening of a complex built in the memory of Reb Dov Ber Schneerson, the brother of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson of righteous memory.

Nothing about this event is coincidental, with the memorial erected at the actual location of Dov Ber's shooting and on the same day that he was died in 1941. At the time the Nazis occupied this region, he was located here as part of a health retreat. It was through the assistance provided by one individual that this site was pinpointed. This man shared the same hospital room as Reb Dov Ber, but instead of being shot was sent to a concentration camp to work. He survived and later helped the local Jewish community to identify the site of this tragic murder.

Jewish residents and vacationers in Ventnor, N.J., enjoy a kosher cruise of the back bay coordinated by Chabad-Lubavitch of the Shore.

It’s almost a tradition in the mid-Atlantic states: When summer arrives, head for the shore.

But for the last few years, another tradition has steadily been taking hold in the New Jersey town of Ventnor, where Jewish community members and vacationers just celebrated the opening of a permanent home for Chabad-Lubavitch at the Shore.
