Escape From Mamdani’s New York? That Isn’t the Jewish Way
Wall Street Journal,Monday, July 7, 2025
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.”

Rabbi Meir Kozlovsky has lived in Tbilisi for 20 years with his wife Tzipi and children, leading the local Chabad House, which serves the community and tourists with prayers, classes, kosher meals and activities. Attending a Friday night dinner with over 200 guests, I noted an armed security guard – a reassuring Israeli presence. Rabbi Kozlovsky later gave a tour of the Or Avner Jewish school, joined by Musia, head of the Israeli department, who moved from Israel three years ago with her husband, Rabbi Menachem.

Lubavitch: if you don't have a school place, come to us - The Jewish Chronicle
The Jewish Chronicle,Sunday, July 6, 2025
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.

Chabad Center wins legal fight over plans for new South Brookline synagogue, set to start construction
Brookline News,Thursday, July 3, 2025
A state Land Court judge has ordered the town to issue a special permit for construction of a new synagogue for the Chabad Center at Chestnut Hill, clearing one of the final hurdles for the Orthodox Jewish group’s controversial plans to build a new house of worship on Bellingham Road. The June 25 ruling comes after the Chabad Center twice sued the town over decisions made by one of its boards or commissions. Both times, the town quickly conceded, agreeing that its decisions violated the organization’s religious rights against unreasonable zoning restrictions.
