Within moments over 10 Shomrim members responded and surrounded the area from the alleyway and front of one of the homes belonging to Reb Yisroel Shemtov, which he made his way to rear to see if there was anything of value there, but ran into a few members who escorted him to the front of the house.

The Rebbe says:
1. The Rebbe explains that all four answers must be connected:
Even though these are four different explanations of this verse, they must all be connected to each other because they are all explaining the same verse.
A proof to this logic:
The Torah says , “You may not wear Shaatnez (a combination of wool and linen together)”. Our Sages in the Mishnayos teach us that the word “Shaatnez” is really made up of three different words- “Shua - smoothed”, “Tavui - spun”, and “Nuz – woven”. The Talmud learns that since these three different words were contracted into one word, one is not liable for wearing a combination of wool and linen unless all three of these processes were done together; only when it was smoothed, spun, and woven together are you liable for the Biblical prohibition of “Shaatnez”.

A few months back I attended the inauguration ceremonies for Arnold Eisen, the new chancellor of the Conservative movement's Jewish Theological Seminary. In a symposium preceding the main event, a distinguished panel of scholars discussed the future of the movement and American Judaism. Someone mentioned “Chabad,“ and the roomful of rabbis and professors broke out into knowing titters. Dr. Alan Cooper, the JTS provost, rode the titters into a wave of laughter when he repeated the old line: “Chabad is the religion closest to Judaism.”Editorial: Chabad Influence
