LUBAVITCHER REBBE
There is little of religious
Jewry left in Russia today.
What remnant there is has
often been credited to the late
Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef
Yitzchok, who was one of the
few Jewish religious leaders
who remained in Russia during
the trying and dangerous period
following the Communist revolu-
tion.
He was practically the only
one to stand up_ to the Yevsek-
tzia, a powerful council of
atheistic Jews (subsequently dis-
solved).
The Lubavitcher Rebbe was
finally imprisoned in Russia and
sentenced to death in 1927 for
his efforts in the preservation
of Jewry in that country.
So widely. known and re-
spected was the Lubavitcher
Rebbe that foreign protests
and pleas by statesmen
throughout the world forced
the Russians to release the
rabbi on the day he was to
have been executed.
His escape is celebrated by
Lubavitcher Hassidim each year
on the anniversary of his re-
lease. In Detroit, several fes-
tivities have been planned by
disciples of the late rabbi.
There will be a gathering
at Oak Park Young Israel at
7:30 p.m. Sunday, and on Mon-
day evening at the Mogen Av-
raham synagogue. In addition,
a 15-minute portion of the
Saturday night Jewish Hour
will he devoted to the com-
memoration of the occasion.
The main celebration will
take place Monday evening in
