Yud Shvat Farbrengen--A Taste of the Rebbe's Sichos
Yud Shvat is one of the most important days in modern Chabad history. Actually, it's one of the most important days in modern Jewish history, as it was both the date that the previous Rebbe passed away, and the date that Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson accepted leadership of the Chabad Lubavitch movement one year later. Since then, his outreach has touched the lives of so many Jews and non-Jews.

The Snow Will Not Stop the Editors!
Interviewing all the people in the world who’ve ever had yechidus with the Rebbe is a mammoth task. This week we were snowed out of 2 different interviews in the New York metropolitan area. But even the post office, which prides itself in delivering the mail through “snow, sleet or storm” cannot top a group of people who are set on learning and sharing the life story of the Rebbe – because they have the Rebbe’s own model to never be deterred as their own example. Which is how we spent our snow days in our editing caves, reviewing this great interview we caught last week with Dr. Naftali Loewenthal, a Lubavitcher professor in University in London.
