i am taking this time to write down this message for i truely feel the need of on campus outreach all over the world, to shape the view of the world on jews and judaism when we can.
needless to say, this is a matter of urgency and i recalling two things that i had encountered. one time, it was a lecture i went in the local macao university of technology where i was delighted to join a open lecture from the most prominent law professor or legal intellectual - named MI JIAN whose also the no1 legal scholar in china's civil laws sector and he is also the chief for the institution of german laws in the University of politics and laws in beijing, the HARVARD OF CHINA, IN LAWS.
i enjoyed almost every second of his lecture and did n't quite expect there is an anticlimax = his publicly openly charged that america and israel had done many bad things, to all who had attended the lecture.

Wonderful speech for the most part. Professor Dershowitz is happily insightful. Chabad is truly wonderful in being NON-JUDGEMENTAL. However, this does not mean that Chabad on campus should refrain from having Shabbos or Yom Tov services simply because "separate seating" may not initially be agreed upon by all attendees. Chabad is not Hillel. Chabad's talents have always been in presenting "truths" in ways which reflect its love and respect for every Jew. Not holding services in order to avoid controversy is not the intellectually honest "Chabad" approach which college students have come to respect, appreciate and demand.

Listening to Derschowitz was an uplifting experience. I'll forward it to all my friemds.

|
| Breathing new life into a shattered people; the three components that set the Rebbe’s leadership apart, in the aftermath of the holocaust.
|
 |  |
|
| Its a mitzvah to imitate our creator. We also try to imitate a Rebbe, teacher or mentor. A chasid tries to acquire at least some measure of his Rebbe's personality and character. This class tries to give us an observation of one measure of the Rebbe's qualities which we may try to emulate.
|
 |  |
|
| The Rebbe said a chassidic discourse and personally gave it out to thousands of people shortly before he passed away. In it, he explains the role of the ‘shepherds of the people’; the Jewish leaders. It sets the tone for the future and tells us what we need to do to reveal G-dliness in this world.

|
| An open and informative class on the relationship between Rebbe and Chassid.

|
| Rabbi Kaplan explains what happens when the soul leaves the body and the concept of a Yahrtzeit. How is it that Chabad copes after the 3rd of Tamuz -- the passing of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, of blessed memory. What is the significance of the passing of a tzaddik.
