"For those seeking an entry into the most brilliant of #Jewish #legal minds, a recently launched series serves as an immensely rewarding resource. The first volume of #Koren -Publisher’s #Steinsaltz Edition of #Maimonides’ code of #Jewishlaw, the #Mishne #Torah, has been published in English. It seeks to make the legendary #medieval thinker’s #teachings accessible to a wide audience, utilizing the commentary of the late #Rabbi #AdinSteinsaltz, who passed away in 2020.

In addition to the clear English #translation of the source material, this unique edition contains sections covering additional legal perspectives that supplement those of the #MishneTorah itself. Also included are some of the late #Lubavitcher #Rebbe’s writings on Maimonides’ legal rulings.

Most helpful are the conceptual #essays in the back of the #book, which touch upon how Maimonides’ thought has been adapted, and argued with, over the ages."

"In a significant gesture of outreach to #America's #Haredi community, #President #DonaldTrump's personal #Jewish liaison traveled to #KiryasJoel last week to present the #Satmar #Rebbe with an official presidential declaration bearing #Trump's signature.

#MartinMarks, who serves as the administration's primary connection to #Orthodox Jewish communities nationwide, arrived at the Rebbe's residence in #Monroe, #NewYork, carrying what he described as the "#American #JewishHeritage Month Proclamation for 2026." The document, signed personally by #PresidentTrump, outlines the administration's commitment to protecting #religious freedom and combating #antisemitism on college campuses and in educational institutions across the #United #States.

The proclamation includes direct quotations from President #GeorgeWashington's historic 1790 letter to the Jewish community of #Newport, #RhodeIsland..."

A student asked Rabbi Menahem Mendl of #Kotzk: "#Rebbe, who is a good person?"

He responded, "Anyone who wants to be a good person."

"But Rebbe, who wouldn't want to be a good person?"

The Kotzker Rebbe replied, "Someone who already thinks he's a good person".

#Chinuch (#Jewisheducation) comes from many influences, mostly the home. However, the Lubavitcher #Rebbe stressed the vital role of educators
“It used to be that the task of a school was to give students #Torah knowledge, but in our time, the school’s role is not only to enrich the students’ knowledge base in Torah and #Yiddishkeit, but primarily to implant within them Yiras Shamayim, careful observance of Mitzvos, and, in general, the Jewish way of life."
