Ep. 41: Holy High: How Milwaukee Became Home to a Revolutionary Jewish Prep School

In Episode 41 of Lamplighters: Stories From Chabad Emissaries On The Jewish Frontier, reporter/producer Gary Waleik presents the story of Rabbi Yossi and Rebbetzin Ilana Bassman, co-Directors of Bader Hillel High, a Milwaukee-area Jewish high school with an innovative approach to education and a diverse group of Jewish learners. The Bassmans insist that accessible education is the next frontier in the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s vision.

Lamplighters: Stories From Chabad Emissaries On The Jewish Frontier is producing a series of moving, beautifully produced, sound-rich and often surprising stories of Chabad shluchim and the people they inspire in every corner of the world.
