R. C. Berman - Lubavitch.com


HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA, Canada — Nova Scotia’s most populated city with a Jewish community 1800 strong is far, far away from major centers of Jewish life. It’s an eighteen-hour drive from Halifax to Toronto. Twelve from Montreal. There’s no kosher butcher shop, not enough young children for a Jewish day school, and it’ll take an eleven-hour drive to Boston, for a slice of kosher pizza.

Shmuel Ben Eliezer - Jewish Press

Rabbi Shalom B. Stambler
WARSAW, Poland — It is often said that in places you would least expect, there is certain to be a Beit Chabad. Even in the remotest regions on earth, people are likely to find the two symbols of civilization, Coke and Chabad.

The one place that had no Chabad presence for 60 years, however, was the once flourishing home to millions of Jews – Poland. (Interestingly, it was from Warsaw that the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe escaped the Shoah and came to America.)

It was thought that there were no more Jews in Poland after the Shoah and the persecution of the Communists. When the Rebbe was asked to send a shliach to Poland in 1989, he declined, supposedly saying that a Jewish community should not be reestablished where so much suffering occurred.

International Conference Draws Chabad Women in Leadership To Study

by R.C. Berman – Lubavitch.com

Perusing the instructions a Chabad leader leaves behind before she attends the annual Shluchos Convention in New York is exhausting. It takes lists, sticky notes by the dozens and several people to cover for one woman at the helm when she takes a weekend off from her work as school principal, Hebrew school director, adult education teacher, mikvah coordinator, women’s group leader, and more, all wrapped into the title of Chabad Shlucha.

Crown Heights Cover-Up?

The Jewish Week

Shmuel Balkany recounts the attack at the press conference earlier this week.

Although law enforcement officials acknowledge that there has been a 25 percent spike in bias crimes in the city since September, Crown Heights community activists claim the figures would be higher if not for a police cover-up.

“The Jews in this community are not being adequately protected,” charged Yissachardov “Barry” Sugar, president of the Jewish Leadership Council. “The police department has to [properly] characterize crimes and not play politics with my people. …

Semicha Program of Golden Beach Inaugural Dinner and Testing for Semicha

GOLDEN BEACH, FL [CHI] — The Yeshiva Semicha Program of Golden Beach, Florida, under the auspices of Rabbi Chay Amar and directed by Rabbi Berel Gurary, recently celebrated with a monumental inauguration dinner.

The dinner included a Hachnosas Sefer Torah, the Torah to be inducted into the Yeshiva, and was a truly beautiful Kiddush Hashem and Kiddush Shem Lubavitch. It was also graced by the presence of Rabbi Dovid Pinto, renowned in Sefardic communities, who flew in from Eretz Yisroel for the event. There were inspiring speeches heard, a five course lavish dinner served, a live band, and vigorous dancing. The community was very uplifted by the Yiras Shamayim and sincerity of the bochurim.
