The Rabbi Goes West

Chabad of Palm Beach
Gardens recently presented
an event that highlighted the
beauty and joy of Judaism,
with Montana Chabad
Rabbi Chaim Bruk.
Rabbi Dovid Vigler
stated that some Jews make
the mistake of defining
their Jewish identity based
on anti-Semitism, but the
evening’s event highlighted
the “joys” of Judaism
instead of the “oys.”
Guest speaker Rabbi Chaim Bruk is Chabad’s representative
to the State of Montana, which is 17.5 times the size of the
State of Israel. He spoke passionately and humorously about
the work that he and his wife, Chavie, and their children do to
reach out and inspire every single Jew in the state, ensuring that
no Jew is left behind. He spoke about their response to white
supremacists in Montana — creating an initiative called the
Montana Chumash Project, giving an English/Hebrew Torah
for each Jewish home in the state.
He told the story of how he taught the Montana police to
communicate with their Israeli-trained dogs in Hebrew and of
the challenges of arranging kosher food in Montana.
But the most touching part of his talk was when he spoke
about the infertility that he and his wife have experienced and
their choice of adopting five children, including their black
son, Meni.
Rabbi Vigler concluded by saying that the Rebbe inspired
the most powerful response to the Holocaust: Just as the Nazis
searched out each and every last Jew with hate, our job is to
search out each and every last Jew with love.

The Nazi Titanic

The Nazi Titanic was
a fascinating presentation
at Chabad of Palm Beach
Gardens by Dr. Robert
Watson, Distinguished
Professor of American
History at Lynn
University.

their own Nazi blockbuster in the form of Titanic. Though
Hitler spared no expense in producing the film, it was an
epic failure, as even the German director he hired used
the movie to portray anti-Nazi propaganda, under the very
noses of his Nazi taskmasters. Though he was hanged for his
insubordination, he had the last laugh from the grave as the
film was rendered useless for the Nazis.
Beyond the epic embarrassment that the film was for Hitler
and the Nazis, it was the worst maritime disaster of human
history, resulting in the deaths of at least 10,000 Jews, all by
friendly fire! Though many of us have heard of the brutal death
marches that the Nazis forced the Jews to take just before the
end of the war, the purpose and destination of these marches
finally comes clear in this painful presentation.
