One Student’s Thoughts on a Campus Shabbaton

Chaim Zimmerman – Chabad.edu

S. Diego, CA — Some may call it overcrowding. Others may call it a fire hazard. But to Chabad, it was just another Shabbaton. After more than 600 college students from across California and Arizona descended on Chabad at S. Diego State University for the Feb.1-3 gathering, the scene Friday night was intense: The walls seemed to literally extend outward to make room for the myriad students, and despite the cramped circumstances, only smiles graced every face. This was just the beginning of the weekend, and more promised to follow.

Mordechai Shinefield - Lubavitch.com

New York, NY — The last few years in mainstream music have seen an explosion of bands influenced by Eastern European melodies and songs. From Jdub Record bands Balkan Beat Box and Golem to indie bands DeVotchKa and Beirut, everything from Roma lautari to klezmer music has been fair game. Recently, though, artists have been finding inspiration from a more mystical source - the niggunim of Chabad Lubavitch.

Jewish Children’s Museum to launch iMatza Today

Brooklyn, NY — Today, Sunday, February 18 the Jewish Children’s Museum will launch iMatza, a hands-on matza-baking experience. After exploring the matza’s history and the special way to prepare the Passover staple through a hilarious special-episode of the popular kids’ show Itche Kadoozy, visitors will don baker outfits and jump right into the action, harvesting wheat from a mini field, then threshing and grinding it into flour.
