When you are not connected to your source it is impossible to have a clarity of mission and purpose, and when there is no clarity of the starting Rabbi S.

  • The Drink of His Life
    ב“ה An inspiring story for your Shabbos table ערב פסח, י‘‘ד ניסן, תשע״ט Erev Pesach, April 19, 2019 HERE’S Issue 327 my STORY THE DRINK Generously OF HIS LIFE sponsored by the MR. MENASHE JANASHVILLI or two years, from 1973 to 1975, I was privileged to study — along with a group of young Georgian FJews who had immigrated to Israel — at Tomchei Temimim yeshivah in Brooklyn, not far from the Chabad Headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway. Some years earlier, the Rebbe had sent his emissaries to Soviet Georgia to support the Jews living there, and then when these Jews immigrated to Israel, they settled in Chabad neighborhoods and studied in Chabad yeshivahs. But because of the hardships of earning a living at that time, there was a high dropout rate, and many students left yeshivah as teenagers in order to go to work. To remedy this, we were invited to come study close to the Rebbe for a few years. I was just fourteen at the time and being so far away from my family was very hard on me, but I must say that we were well taken care of. We felt that the Rebbe was personally interested in us; this was evident in the special But the Rebbe said again, “Send this wine to your father.” attention he showed to our group.

  • The Chabad Lubavitch Movement: Filling the Jewish Vacuum Worldwide
    www.jcpa.org No. 3 15 December 2005 / 14 Cheshvan 5766 The Chabad Lubavitch Movement: Filling the Jewish Vacuum Worldwide An Interview with Samuel Heilman The influence of the Chabad Lubavitch movement in the Jewish world has greatly increased over the past decades. The seventh Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902-1994), who died without a successor - and is considered by part of the Chabad Hasidim as the Messiah - was in the 1950s at the origins of the present international outreach campaign. The willingness of a substantial number of Chabad Hasidim to travel and live in places with few or no other Orthodox Jews has been a decisive factor in the movement's success. Chabad has brought Hasidism and Orthodox Jewish practice into the public square and also into the mainstream consciousness of world Jewry. Chabad zeroes in on crucial areas in the life cycle, including childcare centers, nursery schools, and college campuses, as well as public practice of Judaism, particularly Chanukah candle-lighting but also Sabbath candle-lighting for women and the donning of tefillin (phylacteries) by adult men. Chabad's messianic approach has come under severe criticism. Yet as more established groups of Orthodoxy feel insecure and do not have adherents willing to dedicate their lives to missionary activity, they are reluctant to alienate Chabad on which they may depend in certain locations and situations. An Increasing Influence The influence of the Chabad Lubavitch movement in the Jewish world has greatly increased over the past decades. Samuel Heilman, Harold Proshansky Chair in Jewish Studies at the Graduate Center and Distinguished Professor of Sociology at Queens College of the City University of New York, says that the willingness of a substantial number of Chabad Hasidim to travel and live in places with few or no other Orthodox Jews has been the decisive factor in the movement's success.

  • Miracles, Media, Mezuzot: Storytelling Among Chabad Hasidim
    religions Article Miracles, Media, Mezuzot: Storytelling among Chabad Hasidim Simon Dein Academic Department of Psychiatry, University College London, Charles Bell House, 67-73 Riding House St, London W1W 7JE, UK; [email protected] Academic Editor: Malachi Hacohen Received: 9 May 2016; Accepted: 31 August 2016; Published: 13 September 2016 Abstract: In 1994 the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Menachem Schneerson, died leaving no successor. His group split into two groups: messianists who maintained that the Rebbe had not died and was Moshiach, the Jewish Messiah, and the non messianists who agreed that the Rebbe had died. This paper focuses upon a prominent Chabad practice; the role of storytelling. I propose the question, “Whose interests do these stories serve?” Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Lubavitch, I present a number of narratives pertaining to the Rebbe’s miraculous feats. Following his death, stories surrounding the Lubavitcher Rebbe not only bolster his “charisma” but lead to a sense of his continuing presence. These stories are produced predominantly by the messianic faction of Lubavitch and following his death are published regularly on messianic websites. Keywords: Rebbe; Lubavitch; narrative; miracle 1. Introduction: Storytelling Folklorists and anthropologists have a longstanding interest in collecting personal stories, the analysis of which deepens their understanding of culture. Anthropologist Thomas Eriksen [1] underscores the fact that: In contemporary anthropology, pleas for narrative have almost become a cliché. Our journals regularly bring theoretical discussions about the centrality of narrative, about narrative as a key to understanding life, about the ways in which the great narratives of history mirror the small narratives of personal lives, and so on; but we rarely get on with actually telling stories.
