Op-Ed: Matisyahu’s New Groove: A Response

by Mimi Notik – livefromthehilltop.com

On Thursday, the Jewish Week announced “Matisyahu’s New Spiritual Groove,” baring one of the first concrete interviews on the topic of Matisyahu’s affiliation with Chabad. The article makes the following clear: Matisyahu’s continued exploration of Judaism has led him to connect with a sect of Breslav Chassidism, he isn’t inspired by Chabad teachings like he once was, and his spiritual shift has been in the making for four years.

Moreover, Matisyahu is a public figure, who many of us feel experienced success largely by his connection to Chabad. It is wholly warranted to feel like Matisyahu’s recent comments are biting the hand that fed him.

Yud Tes Kislev at Miami Beach

MIAMI BEACH, FL [CHI] — When the Alter Rebbe was freed from prison on Yud Tes Kislev over two hundred years ago who would ever have imagined that Torah and Chassidus would come to the shores of Miami Beach. A place that the stones and sand were ‘treif’, and many Jewish leaders said it could never happen; but it happened this year at the Captain Hyman Jewish Learning Center of Miami Beach, Florida.
