| The neighborhood, however, was also home to Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, seventh leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement. The Rebbe, as he is known, charted a new course. “A phenomenon has recently spread among the Jewish people, like a plague, God forbid, of abandoning Jewish neighborhoods,” he said at a public gathering in 1969. Panic was causing people to flee, harming those left behind, especially the poor, elderly and infirm. “People claim there’s no solution, but that’s not true,” the Rebbe said. “To start, one must stand firm and not run away.” | ||

| If your child is still looking for a place at a Jewish school in London in autumn, Lubavitch has a message: our doors are open. Judith Nemeth, the executive headteacher of the Lubavitch Multi-Academy Trust, which runs three state-aided schools – a boys’ primary, a girls primary and a girls secondary school – said they are already catering for students from diverse Jewish backgrounds. “What truly sets us apart, however, is our foundation in the values of Chabad: radical inclusion, pride in Jewish identity, and unconditional love for every Jew." | ||
| Drawing inspiration from life of the Rebbe Cleveland Jewish News,Friday, July 4, 2025 |
||
| In our generation, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, whose 31st yahrtzeit we observed this week, embodied this very notion of being a devoted leader to his flock. The Rebbe stood for Jewish unity, Jewish pride and most importantly – the demand for every Jew’s commitment to Jewish life. On June 29, I had the privilege of visiting the Ohel, the Rebbe’s holy resting place in Queens, N.Y. While standing in line for a number of hours in the sweltering heat, waiting for the chance to enter for just a brief moment, I couldn’t help the overwhelming feelings washing over me. | ||

The June 25 ruling comes after the Chabad Center twice sued the town over decisions made by one of its boards or commissions.
