TZFAT, Israel — It is said that the spirit of a Jew, a pintele yid, never dies. No matter how disconnected or how construed a Jew's path to Judaism is, his soul still feels a longing to return to Judaism. Tova Mordechai is no exception.

Holy Sheep – The Far Reaching Effects of Shlichus

By Lazer Avtzon

Approximately 25 years ago, I, together with another seven Bachurim from Oholei Torah merited to be sent by the Rebbe on Shlichus for two years from Oholei Torah to Casablanca, Morocco.

In addition to our mission of learning in the Yeshiva between ourselves and also with members of the community, our outreach to the community at large was through the activities of Tzivot Hashem under the leadership and guidance of the late Shliach, Reb Yehuda Leib (Leibel) Raskin OBM.

BASKING RIDGE, NJ — Yitzchok Moully poses for a picture in front of a mounting of his pop-art, as his 2-year-old son, Sholom, wiggles in his arms.

For the youth director of the Chabad Jewish Center of Basking Ridge, the photo freezes a moment in a dichotomous world, where the bright colors of Moully's Andy Warhol-influenced art applied to the black-and-white of his Hasidic Jewish faith are balanced with and grounded by a growing family.

Through his art, Yitzchok Moully captures the vibrancy of the Hasidic world

Editors note After receiving an overwhelming amount of responses to the Op-Ed “The Forgotten Girls” we've chosen to run the following Op-Ed in response.

With personal interest, I read the latest Op-Ed on CrownHeights.info. I myself worked for shluchim in an out-of-the-way city in the USA for two years. On many, if not all, points, I have a hard time identifying with the author of this article. Instead of relating directly to the authors complaints, let's discuss the general issue.

Why do girls go out to work for shluchim, out of all things?

Hopefully, the answer is to join in the Rebbe's shlichus. If it's anything else- to pass the time till they get married, to make some money, to do something fulfilling with their time, to get out of Crown Heights, 'cuz it's the 'in' thing to do.....
