What’s in this issue? Sneak preview, only on anash.org:

Rabbi Mendy Deitsch vividly recalls his childhood in 770 with the Rebbe. The Rebbe’s careful attention to the children, his incredible patience with them is something we can all learn from today.

Sara Miriam Gross wrote a book of interesting, readable, and well-written short stories for children who have lost a parent. It is valuable for children in that position to feel understood and to know they are not alone.

Rabbi Levi Garelik guides chassidim in what to do (and what not to do) when visiting the Ohel.

Nobody likes running through an airport to catch a flight. Shlucha Nechama Dina Hendel writes about an unexpected stopover in Paris that was “bad news!”… or was it? Turns out Hashem had a plan. Doesn’t He always?

Sergeant Tzvi (Harry) Fisher or Sarge for short was one of the first U.S. servicemen in World War II to witness the horrors of the concentration camps. Sarge’s motto and oft-spoken phrase was “KEEP ON DRIVING!” alluding to something he learned during his time in the army during World War II, where he served under General George Patton. Read about Sarge’s journey to the Rebbe and how he became a staunch life-long chossid.

What do freed hostage Agam Berger, Israeli shlucha Nechami Turkoff, and American shlucha Shayna Freeman have in common? We really can’t summarize it in one paragraph. You have to read the story in the Gimmel Tammuz issue of the N’shei Chabad Newsletter!

Talia Zisook is a sensitive person, prone to anxiety, insomnia, and nightmares. When she said she was considering joining the Chevra Kadisha, people who know her advised her, “Don’t do it, Talia!” Read why she’s happy she didn’t listen to them.

A reader wrote to Esther Etiquette: Why should I be giving money for a bunch of teenagers to go on a trip to Disney World or Washington, DC? If a graduation trip is important to these children, let the school or the kids’ parents pay for it. Why am I being asked?  Esther’s reply might surprise you.
