  • Recollections from Hanhalah the Hanachos: an Insider's Perspective
    A WEEKLY MAGAZINE • #4 The Hanachos: Recollections An Insider's From Perspective Hanhalah Reb Yoel Kahn Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Kalmenson Chief Choizer and Mani'ach Beis Dovid Shlomo, New Haven ב"ה Vaad Talmidei Hatmimim Rabbi Tzvi Altein Foreword Hanachos As part of the Hanachos program currently taking Tzvi Alperowitz place in mesivtos, we are pleased to present the Boruch Ceitlin fourth edition of “Hanachos” — a weekly magazine designed to enrich this program. Layout and Design This week we interviewed the Rebbe's chief chozer Mendy Drookman Reb Yoel Kahn. Reb Yoel was zoche to chazzer and transcribe the sichos from day one, and led the Efraim Davidoff chazara, hanacha, and publication of the Rebbe's Torah throughout all the years that followed. Reb Yoel shared early memories and anecdotes with us, Special Thanks to as well as practical tips for hiskashrus today. Rabbi Tzemach Feller Rabbi Yossi Feller In the column “Recollections from Hanhalah,” we present an interview with Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Rabbi Mendel Gourarie Kalmenson, longtime Rosh yeshiva of New Haven. Rabbi Shmuel Lubecki Rabbi Kalmenson shares his early memories of the Rebbe, guidance he received regarding the Levi Danow yeshiva and publishing seforim, and words of Naftali Wilhelm encouragement for today's bochurim. Arik Shemtov With only two weeks left until Gimmel Tammuz, as each of us wants to strengthen our hiskashrus to the Rebbe, Reb Yoel's words ring ever deeper. Being that Torah is nitzchi - everlasting, we must connect to the Rebbe just as before. All the Rebbe told us about hiskashrus applies today more than ever.

    Chabad Leadership Formation Menachem Mendel Schneerson From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson Lubavitcher Rebbe Lubavitcher Rebbe Synagogue 770 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY Began 10 Shevat 5711 / January 17, 1951 Predecessor Yosef Yitzchok Schneersohn Personal details Born April 5, 1902 OS (11 Nissan 5662)[1] Died June 12, 1994 NS (3 Tammuz 5754) (aged 92[2]) Buried Queens, New York, USA Dynasty Chabad Lubavitch Parents Levi Yitzchak Schneerson Chana Yanovski Schneerson Spouse Chaya Mushka Schneerson Semicha Rogatchover Gaon America and leadership[edit] Escape from EuropeIn 1941, Schneerson escaped from Europe on the Serpa Pinto, which embarked from Lisbon, Portugal. It was one of the last boats to cross the Atlantic before the U-boat blockade began,[33] and joined his father-in- law, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Schneersohn, in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, New York. Seeking to contribute to the war effort, he went to work in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, drawing wiring for the battleship USS Missouri (BB-63),[34][35] and other classified military work.[36] Rise in AmericaIn 1942, his father-in-law appointed him director of the Chabad movement's newly-founded central organizations, placing him at the helm of building the movement's Jewish educational, social services, and publishing networks across the United States, Israel, Africa, Europe and Australia. However, Schneerson kept a low public profile within the movement. He would speak publicly only once a month, delivering talks to his father-in-law's followers.[12] During the 1940s, Schneerson became a naturalized US citizen. For many years to come, he would speak about America's special place in the world, and would argue that the bedrock of the United States' power and uniqueness came from its foundational values, which were, according to Schneerson, '"E pluribus unum'—from many one", and "In God we trust."[37] In 1949, his father-in-law would become a U.S.
