An epic profile / obituary of a baby boomer visionary who the Rebbe shaped into a legendary changer of people's lives and builder of impactful institutions — oh, and he was also smuggled out of Soviet Russia in a suitcase By Dovid Margolin for Chabad.org
Magnificent piece by Dovid Margolin. A remarkable tribute to Rabbi Lipskar and a powerful glimpse into the world of Chabad. Well worth the read.
Dovid Margolin Really fascinating. Favourite quote: It’s true he was the founder of the whole neighborhood...But he was also the founder of our whole lives.” Favourite image:
R’ Sholom Lipskar was born with a wild drive to upend this imperfect world. He did so by joining the Rebbe’s revolution. “Ppl will talk about The Shul, Aleph, but what he transformed on the inside was 10 times more.” 8k words to print for Shabbos chabad.org/6899949 Chabad.org
Just finished reading Tamara Mann Tweel's fantastic piece on Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and the Rebbe's vision for the U.S. Department of Education: A Peanut Farmer and Hasidic Rabbi Helped Build the Department of Education.
