The International Moshiach Campaign is pleased to announce the launch of a new initiative: The Yom Tov Lecture Series. This new program will feature well laid and thought out shiurim that can be given at every Yom Tov. Each of these classes connects the current Yom Tov and its unique connections to Moshiach. The classes are intriguing and thought provoking.

Kehos is Not Closing Down

Zelig Abramson – Shturem.net

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn — Report appeared that the Kehos store on Eastern Pkwy is in danger of closing down is false, misleading and slanted, according to Rabbi Avrohom Holtzberg, manager of the store.

Rabbi Holtzberg spoke with Shturem a little while ago and was furious. “It’s a cheap lie,” he said. You can see the whole thing was staged. They sent a photographer to photograph when there were no books on the shelves. The photographer himself could have emptied one of the shelves so he could take a picture of an empty shelve and say the store is closing down.

The following is a beautiful article that was written By Rabbi Jonathan Sacks Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth, about the Rebbe's affect on world Jewry and Chabad's work around the world. The article was published in the London Jewish Chronicle February 1, 1980. It's an excerpt from the New Book on the Rebbe “The Rebbe Inspiring a Generation” to see more on the book visit: www.inspiringageneration.com

"The Rebbe is a revolutionary. He has enthroned Chasidic philosophy not as one of the limbs, but as the heart of Judaism. He is a systematic and conceptual thinker on the largest scale. And, more than anything, he continually drives together the highest abstract truth and the most specific call for action, spanning the continuum of the whole range of Jewish study.

DNEPROPETROVSK, Ukraine — Just twenty meters away from the place of the Rebbe's father's arrest in 1939 a state-of-the-art Mikva has opened. With the generous contribution of Motti and Adina Korf a vision has come to reality to cater to women of all walks of life living in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. This project came to fruition with the donation of Mr. Alexander Kogonovsky who donated the construction of the building, and through the implementation of Mr. Zelig Brez, the director of the Jewish Community who oversaw the project from conception to completion.
