- Under the Umbrella: the Orthodox Rabbi and the Irish Catholic Walk to ShulIt was raining that Shabbat and I would not be driving. And the Torah prohibits us from carrying on Shabbat, so I didn't have an umbrella either. What I did have was a nice Italian suit and a score of congregants waiting for me at the synagogue.
- Students And Stress On Campus: Chabad at Texas A&MThis fall, Chabad will partner with Houston’s Jewish Family Services to offer a comprehensive Mental Health First Aid Training Day. The eight-hour CPR-style course will cover depression, substance abuse, trauma, psychosis, and mood disorders. Trainees will learn how to identify and triage these issues in themselves and among their peers.
- Five New Books For End-of-Summer ReadingThere's lots of new books on the market this summer. Many of them have been created especially for the 25th anniversary of the Rebbe's passing. Below is a selection you can't miss!
- Greenpoint, Brooklyn Gets First Permanent CenterHigh-rises are going up along the waterfront of Brooklyn's northernmost neighborhood, and now the eclectic locale has got its own Greenpoint Chabad House—Jewish Center. Rabbi Yisroel and Raizel Nissim have been serving the Greenpoint community for five years from just as many rented apartments and even the occasional AirBNB. “We’re excited to have reached this milestone so we can cater to a larger number of people, entertain more and add more programming from our own event space,” Rabbi Yisroel shared with Lubavitch.com.
