Dear Friends:
I am writing this letter in
support of the Lubavitch
Foundation on the occasion of
its upcoming Dinner and
Concert Tribute to Miriam
and Jack Shenkman. The
Lubavitch Foundation in the
Metropolitan Detroit area is
a spiritually inspiring and to-
tally altruistic movement
that has tirelessly performed
good deeds and services for
the Jewish community. The
Lubavitchers have clear goals
and are energetic in their
pursuit. One important aspi-
ration is that the Jewish
people observe the laws of
G-d and Torah. The
Lubavitchers love all Jews,
no matter what their affilia-
tion or level of practice. They
are not factional. They are
concerned with the plight of
the Jewish people wherever
they exist. They are tolerant,
accepting, and understand-
ing. They subscribe to the
philosophy of Ahavas Israel
— the love of all Jews.
The Lubavitch movement
assists our community in
many ways. Rabbis visit hos-
pitals, prisons, nursing
homes, and senior citizens'
residences. In Michigan the
Lubavitch Foundation has es-
tablished excellent religious
day schools, summer camps,
and on-campus university
houses. The one important
factor in retaining Jewish
youth is to educate them in
Jewish tradition and prac-
tices and a love of G-d.
Lubavitcher projects accom-
plish this.
Unlike some Hasidic
movements, Lubavitchers
support the State of Israel in
a spiritual and substantive
fashion. Examples of this
support are their yeshivas,
communities, and public serv-
ice projects in Israel. They
are a respected and cherished
component of Israeli society.
The Lubavitch movement is
present in more than thirty-
five countries around the
world. Wherever Jews exist,
emissaries of Lubavitch will
be found. The Lubavitchers
have established professional
study groups for adults in
various professions. Doctors,
lawyers, and teachers benefit
from the teachings and com-
mentaries of Jewish sages,
whose ethics and philosophies
are as pertinent for the twen-
tieth century as they were in
biblical times.
The Jewish people must
always be alert to the dan-
gers of resurgent anti-
Semitism. But in the United
States of America, assimila-
tion poses a greater threat.
The Lubavitch movement re-
presents a leading force to
reverse that trend. They are
truly the keepers of the faith.
I experienced the problem
of assimilation and the re-
storative efforts of the
Lubavitch movement in a
personal way. During the
seventies, my teenaged son
became disenchanted with
Judaism and wandered from
the faith. He turned to East-
ern religions in an attempt to
find inspiration and meet
spiritual needs. I had heard
that the Lubavitch movement
was active on college cam-
puses, returning our dissent-
ing Jewish youth back to the
faith. I suggested the
Lubavitch as an alternative
to my son. My son met with
them and became enthralled
with their teachings. He
attended Lubavitch yeshivas
and now is an ordained
Lubavitcher rabbi, living in
New York with his Yemenite
Lubavitcher bride.
The Lubavitch movement
is not a mystical cult; nor is
it a mercenary, business-
oriented group, as some per-
sons would have you believe.
Rather, the Lubavitchers are
dedicated and devoted
Hasidic Jews, who live a pi-
ous, spiritual life based on a
love of G-d and Torah. The
money raised for the
Lubavitch Foundation is put
to use for worthy projects
which benefit all Jews. That
is the reason why the
Lubavitch movement has
grown so dramatically in the
Metropolitan Detroit area
and in the state of Michigan.
As a result, more and more
people are contributing to the
movement.
I am committed to the
Jewish religion, heritage, and
, tradition, and to the State of
Israel. I believe that the
Lubavitchers are in the foref-
ront of keeping Judaism vital
and meaningful in today's
world. The Lubavitch move-
ment is devout, righteous,
and reverent. They are led by
one of the great Jewish lead-
ers of the world, Rabbi
Menachem Schneerson (the
Rebbe). The Lubavitch
movement needs and de-
serves the continued
enthusiastic support and af-
firmation of all of us.
George A. Dean, M.D.
