Rabbi Mendel Grossbaum and a subcontractor shovel wet concrete into a wooden frame, forming the Chabad Lubavitch Center-Texas Regional Headquarters’ new dishes-specific mikvah. Rabbi Mendy Traxler was there to assist, as Rabbi Gershon Grossbaum, who oversaw the construction, kept a close eye to ensure that the concrete settled properly.

Houston, TX — Bouncing on the balls of his feet, soon-to-be-65-year-old Rabbi Shimon Lazaroff hardly could conceal his excitement as the massive concrete mixer rounded the corner of Fondren and Portal the morning of June 27. “This is a historic occasion!” he proclaimed, hoisting a large push broom into the air. “No more trips to the chiropractor!”

Rabbi Eli Hecht, teachers and students of the Bilowit Learning Center celebrate another successful year of learning and growth

Since opening its doors in 1983, the Chabad-sponsored school in Lomita has focused on one key goal: providing a high quality early education for all the children in its Southland community.

Donetsk, Ukraine –- Last week, Donetsk hosted a performance by the 'Pirchei Donetsk' Boys Choir. The concert was organized in celebration of Youth Day in Ukraine, for which the Donetsk Municipal Council and the 'AISEC' Student Association organized the Festival of Culture.

Participants came from as far away as Jamaica, Columbia, France, Jordan, Turkey and Malaysia. The 'Pirchei Donetsk' Choir represented Israel, without ever having actually visited the Holy Land. This remains an unfulfilled dream that the boys and their leaders, Alexandra Mirlakha and Zinaida Zenyuk, eventually hope to realize.
