A Holocaust doesn’t just happen one, two, three. A Holocaust doesn’t begin with Auschwitz. It ends there!
So we’re not doing our children any favors by sugar-coating Judaism or shielding them from its more “harsh” elements. Hashem is a loving father, but He also expects us to behave in a certain way. If we don’t, there will be consequences – and those consequences are punishments.
My mother believed in the pinteleh Yid that exists in every Jew. And she would never ever, ever allow herself, or anyone else, to give up hope on any neshamah.
A Holocaust doesn’t just happen one, two, three. A Holocaust doesn’t begin with Auschwitz. It ends there!
Year the first shliach went out: 1950 – to Casablanca, Morocco. Year the last shliach went out: 2019. Two recent ones went to Purdue University and Takayama, Japan.

The Rebbe’s campaign – revived by Rabbi Goldstein in the wake of the horrible shooting at his shul – deserves our support. And what better avenue to turn to than our children, the guarantors of our heritage.
We always are smiling. But because of our life experiences, we lose contact with the innocent beautiful child within us that is connected to Hashem 24/7.
I learn a lot and read a lot. When I come across an e-mail, a story, an insight that is transformative, I try to internalize it. I think it's all out there. One just has to notice it.
My parents saw how miserable I was in chutz la'aretz, so they finally gave me their beracha to move to Eretz Yisrael.
I really believe many people need shidduch coaching. One shidduch coach told me, “There are many people who are passing up good opportunities for bad reasons.”
This is the best Supreme Court the Orthodox Jewish community can have because there are two basic constitutional decisions that [can now] be overruled that are of major import to the Orthodox Jewish community.
We feel dissatisfied, depressed, or despondent. We then openly display our frustration and malaise to those near and dear to us despite the great discomfort it causes them. What is regarded as self-loathing is therefore usually nothing but self-love in disguise.
I’m not the Rebbe, and anything from the Rebbe we don’t explain. The main theory is that my father had just gone through a very hard time, and perhaps the Rebbe wanted to give him a new beginning.
I remember in first grade a kid called me a dirty Jew and punched me in the mouth. When I got home, my mother said, “You know what your problem is? You didn’t defend your people. When somebody calls you a dirty Jew, you make ‘em pay for it.”
Had the Soviets only given them a one- or two-year prison sentence, I don’t think the world response would’ve been that big.
Facebook claimed PragerU’s videos were deleted or blocked by mistake and apologized. But Prager has faced tech censorship before. YouTube, for example. After reading the article, whom do you believe?
Did you know that Shlomo Carlebach had a twin brother, Eli Chaim? And that this brother was married to Hadassah, a scion of the Lubavitch Schneerson family? Read this engaging interview with this nonagenarian, Hadassah Carlebach
Schlafly organized a grassroots movement against the ERA, arguing that it would harm women, not help them. She was right.
It’s very much in style and cool to be Jewish in Russia today. In the past, people were afraid to let others know they were Jewish; today, they are very proud – and many non-Jews want to be part of it too.
Serving as President for 32 years, Malcolm Hoenlein has served longer than 6 White House administrations, has met each of those Presidents and most every world leader. Enjoy this unique interview with a third of a century of Jewish leadership
Lubavitch shluchim move to all sorts of exotic places in their effort to ignite Jewish souls around the globe. But there’s exotic, and then there’s very exotic. Shanghai, China, can safely be said to fall into the latter category. To learn what it’s like teaching Judaism in the most populous city in the world (24 […]
‘What can a person do against the trend of the times!’” A question in every generation. Compromise at home is good; compromise in Torah is not. Knowing the difference will bring the final ge’ulah.
Let me start by saying that I never endorse politicians. Am I surprised? No! Because Trump is not your typical individual.
As a ba’al teshuvah myself, I sense this young firebrand not only can handle suggestions for improvement but would gladly welcome them.
The choice is ours. We can live in “prison” – a galus of our own making – or we can choose to be free. In a few days, we will be celebrating Pesach and Yetziat Mitzrayim. The letters of Mitzrayim (Egypt) and meitzarim (constraints) are the same. Pesach is an opportunity to break free from bondage and constraints.
“Guns didn’t suddenly decide to visit mayhem on schools. Guns can’t decide.” But people can. And it’s the people who have changed. It is not guns that kill. It’s the minds of children and adults deprived of Godliness that kill.
Hellenism captured the imagination and hearts not only of the Greeks but of the majority of Jews in ancient Judea.
The motto “In God We Trust” is emblazoned on our currency and in courtrooms across America. And yet it seems we’re trusting less and less in God these days. With each passing year, secularists and sophisticated intellectuals manage to kick Him out just a little more from the public square.
Two weeks ago I found myself at the International Conference of Chabad Shluchos in Crown Heights running a program together with my friend Rivka Kotlarsky for 120 Guests of Shluchos – many of them not yet especially observant.
