60-CJ The Dead Sea Scrolls and Judaism
Professor Lawrence Schiffman of New York University proves to us, from the mysteriously shrouded archeological findings, that traditional Judaism and the active waiting for Moshiach have been there the way we have it now for thousands of years.

77-CJ Oslo 2

120-CJ Glimpsing the Past
Rafael Guber discusses his search for his hidden past of ancestors, which began at Ellis Island; by the end of his search, he had uncovered 41 relatives he never knew existed. His is a personal odyssey turned into a professional genealogical passion. He tells how you too can make the discovery of your ancestors a powerfully vivid encounter. "And you don't have to be a Marc Chagall or Chaim Soutine to do that," says Guber. "It's guaranteed to be as fresh to the memory even in 150 years from now."
133-CJ Don't Sell Out Hevron!
So Israel and Arafat signed a "peace"--or "pieces"--accord over a place called Hevron and you don't even know what they were fighting for--or what it physically looks like--or if the so-called peace agreement with Arafat is worth the paper it's written on. Certainly, the Oslo Accord and now the Hevron Agreement are not even legal questions, international law experts say, but political questions. Find out very good reasons why, no matter what treaty Israel and the PLO have signed, it will endanger, G-d forbid, thousands of Jews and will eventually lead to war. Herbert Zweibon and Helen Freedman, both from "Americans for a Safe Israel," will tell you why.
150-CJ Celebrating Yiddish Journalism (1)
Right from the outset of the English/Yiddish newspaper, the Algemeiner Journal, Gershon Ber and Tzivia Jacobson, founder and co-founder, knew their paper couldn't fail. "After all," said the Jacobsons, "we had the Lubavitcher Rebbe's personal blessing and encouragement."

151-CJ Celebrating Yiddish Journalism (2)
Again join Gershon Ber and Tzivia Jacobson, co-founders of the trail-blazing Yiddish/ English newspaper as they discuss their Yiddish writers and columnists and the so-called "tricks of the trade" in uncovering such barely known stories about funding for American yeshivas and why they feel it's important to have Algemeiner Journal writers on both sides of the so-called peace talks in Israel.

154-CJ Yemenite reunion (1)
Do you want high drama and excitement, sensationalism, the human quest for discovery of self, a totally satisfying TV story about the Lubavitcher Rebbe's emphasis on loving one's fellow Jew, and how "A Cable to Jewish Life" played a major role in helping to reunite at least one Yemenite woman, missing from Israel since birth 47 years ago, suddenly discover her real family and Jewish roots through watching, in her own words, "my only Jewish connection in the world at the time--'A Cable to Jewish Life.'"
155-CJ Yemenite reunion (2)
The lost Yemenite child, Mrs. Tsila Levine, continues with her extraordinary story how she, with no one else to help her except Sampson Giat, president of the Yemenite Jewish Federation of America, two heroes of a living miracle, struggled and dared to hope to reunite with her biological family in Israel--the first of thousands of Yemenite babies since 1950 finally reunited with her mom and sisters. Hear how "A Cable to Jewish Life," thanks to the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe with his emphasis on ahavas Yisrael, played a major role in bringing this about.
156-CJ "This Land Is Ours!" (1)
What it is like for Jews living in Hevron, surrounded by millions of Arabs who have been taught to hate Jews--even to kill them--and go to heaven for their murderous actions--if they get the chance, heaven forbid! What sense of fairness can a Jew expect from the heads of the Hevron Palestinian forces who are named Abu Hitler or nicknamed Eichmann? Hevron citizen Baruch Marzel discusses life in Hevron, what's really going on between Jews and Arabs, and tells why Jews feel safer in Hevron than most Americans do in their own cities.
157-CJ "This Land Is Ours!" (2)
Baruch Marzel, the official keeper of Jewish monuments in the "territories" otherwise known as Judea and Samaria, takes us on the journey our forefather Abraham took from his hometown to "Israel." This same path was taken by the Israelites and Joshua as they went forth to inherit the Promised Land, and still later, as King David did, journeying from Hevron to Jerusalem to establish the house of David. The cost of your travel ticket: the price of this video!

This is the very Crown Heights you've long heard about, and now you too can get a close-up view where the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, has set up his worldwide Chabad-Lubavitch headquarters, after the Holocaust, to rebuild Judaism via more than 2,000 Torah, Jewish outreach, and social centers around the globe; the ideal place to raise and educate large Jewish families; with Kingston Avenue as its main commercial hub; where one of the most elegant mikvehs for women stands on Union Street; and where heaven and earth virtually come together; and much more.
