A yearly privilege and pleasure to discuss Tanya. It’s a yearly privilege and pleasure for me to sit with the graduating class of the Kfar Chabad school, in Israel.

I had a really nice week. I’m still in VT, visiting family, and working on my books and talks. I should be returning to Israel within a week. I had one really nice talk with Chabad on Campus students at my old school, University of Vermont. Great time. Then, we gave a Two Kings …
Last week, we were invited to give a talk in Netanya, northern Israel. The organizing group was Chabad for French Youth in Netanya, Israel.

To be more exact, it’s an important thing in any school, or person’s life. Here are some photos. They show me testing the local students in their …

I spoke at the Haifa Medical school, last night. This was part of the Chabad on Campus program of which I’m fortunate enough to be one of the speakers. This year, there are somewhere above thirty representative Rabbis on different campuses throughout Israel. (The campus movement is worldwide.) On each campus, these rabbis give a …
