BROOKLYN, NY [CHI] — Last Thursday night in the heart of Flatbush, Rabbi Michoel Seligson farbrenged long into the night with close to a hundred participants. Merkaz Habracha, directed by Rabbi Sholom DovBer Chein hosted the event. The evening was launched with a festive meal accompanied by an inspirational video, followed by nigunim and dancing. The event concluded with members of the shul taking upon themselves hachlatos tovos. “It was a night of inspiration to all” said one of the participants.
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.
To many Lubavitchers, the news hurts. When anyone who is connected to the Rebbe and his teachings suddenly turns his ties elsewhere, it is hard not to take personally. 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.

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.
