Saving Conservative Judaism: Learn from Chabad

Saving Conservative Judaism: Learn from Chabad

September 9, 2014 Uncategorized

The Jewish world recently observed the 20th yahrzeit of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Thousands stood in line for several hours in the July heat, in order to pass by and pray at the Ohel, the gravesite of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of blessed memory, at Montefiore Cemetery in Queens, N.Y.

Next year, a milestone yahrzeit of another prominent rabbi buried in a Queens cemetery will be observed. However, it is highly unlikely that thousands will visit Mount Hebron Cemetery in November 2015, on the occasion of the 100th yahrzeit of Rabbi Solomon Schechter.
