New from Kehot
Shiurei Limud HaDos
Authors: Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn and Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson
Compiled by: Rabbi Yitzchok Naparstek
The Released Time Program, founded by the Frierdiker Rebbe under the auspices of the National Committee for the Furtherance of Jewish Education and Merkos L’Inyonei Chinuch, boasts a rich, informative and fascinating history. This unique undertaking has positively impacted the Jewish identity and observance level of tens of thousands of children in the New York public school system over a period of 65 years. We now have the privilege of presenting a magnificent Hebrew volume which details the proud history of this vibrant project. Featuring instructive talks and letters of the Rebbes, historic documents, personal essays and mesmerizing photos, this absorbing book requires willpower to put down once opened. As beautiful on the coffee table as it is suitable for study, here is the perfect gift volume, for yourself and a friend.
I rememeber Yitzchok working on the book a while back, it's good to see them finish it. I also remember some interesting photos of Rabbinic personalities from the early dinners of the NCFJE, we're talking late '40's and early '50's, those Rabbis and their descendants probably won't be that happy to see them.
