Interview: Subliminally Speaking
Rabbi Adin Even-Yisrael Steinsaltz, a towering figure of Jewish scholarship, became world renowned for his groundbreaking work: the translation of the Babylonian Talmud from Aramaic into modern Hebrew and then into English. The project made the study of Talmud—previously limited to students trained in the language and tradition of Talmudic dialectic—accessible to the lay public for the first time.
Through his commentaries, translations, and prolific works—among them The Thirteen Petalled Rose, The Strife of the Spirit, The Long Shorter Way, and Opening The Tanya, he also brought classical Chasidic texts and teachings to a wide, contemporary audience.
Rabbi Adin Even-Yisrael Steinsaltz passed away this past August at the age of eighty-three.

A Searching Teenager Becomes Rabbi to His Hometown
One afternoon in the mid-nineties, an unaffiliated teenager from Krefeld, Germany, signed onto his AOL account to find G-d. He typed the words “rabbi” and “Chabad” into the Instant Messenger tab. As results loaded, he systematically began contacting everyone who popped up with either of those monikers. A couple of clicks later, he befriended Rabbi Yehuda Tiechtel, Chabad’s representative to Berlin, 550 kilometers away. Questions and answers flew from modem to modem and soon a sustained conversation developed. Finally, the young man, his appetite whetted, made his way to study at the Mayanot Yeshiva in Israel.
