I am a teacher in a Chabad Mesivta and I noticed something that really bothered me: We all know that recently, in Eretz Yisroel and the USA, there were political elections. I saw that it consumed the time and passion of my students. I started wondering if that would be different if the talmidim — and Chassidim in general — were told by Rabbanim and Mashpiim told not to vote at all in the elections. What is the Rebbe’s approach to voting elections? Rabbi Gershon Avtzon answers in this week’s Chinuch and Moshiach column • Full Article
Question: I’m learning in a Chabad Kollel outside the USA. As this year is “Shnas Hakhel,” I volunteered to help with the monthly children’s rallies in our community. While I see the importance of these rallies, there is one thing that bothers me: the fact that the rallies take place in the men’s section of the community shul and that we bring girls (although seated separately) into the men’s section. Is this right according to our Chinuch hashkafa? • Full Story

From the desk of Rabbi Gershon Avtzon, Director of Yeshivas Lubavitch – Cincinnati: As the director of an educational institution, I know first-hand the tremendous costs that go into financing an institution. This is especially true with an institution that puts a stress on individual attention being given to each student. The overall budget of the institution, far exceeds the income gained from tuition fees. At the same time, I would like to try to be objective and share some of the Rebbe’s answers that he wrote to parents and to directors of educational institutions about this topic • Click to Read
“We look at this opportunity as a special bracha and thank you from the Rebbe”, says Rabbi Gershon Avtzon, Director of Yeshivas Lubavitch – Cincinnati “When we were renovating the Yeshiva to look like ‘770’ some donors complained that the focus should be a dorm, not external renovations. I said that you will see that we will end up with both! Sure enough, soon after we completed the renovations, the house right near 770 became available to purchase. Just as “770” owns – and expanded to – the house next door (library), we will iyh do the same!” • Donate
Yeshivas Lubavitch Cincinnati is synonymous with dedicated Chassidishe Chinuch and high academic achievement. The Talmidim are encouraged and inspired to strengthen their Hiskashrus to the Rebbe and to be passionate about our shlichus of preparing ourselves, and the world, for the coming of Moshiach. “We are so proud of our alumni, ” says Rabbi Gershon Avtzon, the Rosh Yeshiva. One of our challenges is the inability to accept, and inspire, more Talmidim as there was no space in the dorm • Full Story, Photos, Video
