DETROIT, MI — “Hi, does anyone Jewish work in this office?”
Every Friday, that question is asked by 50 pairs of young men from an Orthodox Jewish group who fan out across metro Detroit to various buildings in a weekly mission to help nonobservant Jews get in touch with their faith. Marking 50 years in Michigan this month, the group — known as Chabad Lubavitch — has grown from just one center in Detroit to 18 institutions across Michigan, several schools and a network of emissaries who have brought alive Judaism in areas without any other Jewish centers such as Novi and Commerce Township.

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?

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.
