Rabbi Kagan, OBM

Rabbi Kagan sadly is no longer with us, he passed away suddenly several years ago. Several of his lectures and writings can be found at chabad.org/k2067.

Rabbi Kagan, You are a wonderful, articulate teacher. You say things the way they are and offer deep, well thought out arguments.
Thank you.

Compelling

Fascinating lesson. I am learning how to deal with G-d in my own life when I cannot fathom His actions by learning how you Jews deal with the Holocaust, the loss of your Temples and your other tragedies...especially observant Jews like the Rebbes through the ages deal with them.

Coping with the Holocaust

This was terrific! I first started asking why when I saw the movie Anne Frank in the late 50s. I was just a little girl but it hit me so hard. Last month I read Leo Fettman's Shoah: Journey from the Ashes and was really feeling guilty questioning the Almighty. To hear that it is expected and right to question is such a relief to me. I just really love this site and though I am not Jewish, at 56 I am learning so very much here that Christian churches never taught.
I can't thank you enough,
Love,
Kathy
