As we are gearing up for the International Conference of Chabad Lubavitch Rabbis in November, it was interesting to read the highlighted quotes from this week's Presidential debate. You see, the Rebbe, wanted to be sure that the other half of Chabad leadership also have a conference of their own. In February, Chanie will join the women leaders of Chabad at her own International Conference of Chabad Lubavitch Rebbetzins. The Rebbe also insisted that the binders, Sefer Hashluchim, depicting the Chabad Houses and Rabbis around the world include the Rebbetzins and children who are part of the same spiritual army. Now, with that in mind think about the statistic recently shared by Larry King: "According to Forbes only 3% of CEOs are women. In the Federal Govt. only 14% are in leadership positions, and Hollywood only 5% of films are directed by women. One exception of absence of women in American leadership is Chabad. 50% of Chabad Institutions are directed by women".
Deep conversations were also had today regarding the role of women in Judaism as part of our Tanya classes... Never too late to join us for insight and inspiration every Thursday at noon or 8 pm!
We gathered around the computer and watched in awe as Felix Baumgartner broke records and made history. We captured some amazing shots of the live feed here. He did it! He crawled in to his space suit and jumped down to planet earth. He was scared of his space suit but he had a vision. You can too!
