Georgia sit down for a Tuesday dinner
and Kabbalah class taught by Rabbi
Michoel Refson, co-director of the
campus-based Chabad House.
With the deal on the building done, thanks in large part to a generous grant from the Rohr Family Foundation arranged by Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky, chairman of the Chabad on Campus International Foundation and vice chairman of Merkos L'Inyonei Chinuch, the education arm of Chabad-Lubavitch, the Refsons have now turned their sights to the necessary renovations. After another round of fundraising for that project, they hope students will be able to use the facility – just a hop, skip and a jump from the Athens, Ga., school's freshman dormitories, football stadium, and track field, and just across the street from the local chapter of Sigma Delta Tau, a Jewish sorority – by September.

ATHENS, GA — Most capital campaigns take some time, but when Rabbi Michoel and Chana Refson, co-directors of Chabad-Lubavitch serving the University of Georgia, approached supporters about purchasing a vacated bank as the new home for their three-year-old Chabad House, they raised the money in just six weeks.

In an article entitled “Rav Miller, Rav Heinemann and Rav Belsky on the Burning Issues in the Charaeidi Community” which was published last week, the author of the article, M. Yaffe presented a very biased and slanted question to the Rabbis, each of which responded in their own way, yet Rav Belsky chose to use the opportunity to viciously attack Chabad.
It is interesting to note that this Rav Belsky actively fought against Tanya Shiurim in his yeshiva, Torah Vodaath while other noted Roshai Yeshivas in the Litvish world, such as Rav Pam, supported it. Comments such as these, filled with so much Sinas Yisroel, bring into question Rav Belskys authority as a Posek and “Rav Hamchsir” for such a largh kashrus organization, such as the OU.
Read the question and the Rabbis answer in the Extended Article.
