Tuesday, Oct 04, 2005
New York University’s Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies will host “Reaching for the Infinite,” a three-day international academic conference on the contribution of the Lubavitcher Rebbe to his own movement and its teachings, to Hasidic thought, world Jewry and western civilization. The conference will take place Sun., Nov. 6 through Tues., Nov. 8 at NYU’s Kimmel Center for University Life (60 Washington Sq. South at LaGuardia Place). For a complete schedule of events, go to http://www.nyu.edu/gsas/dept/hebrew/Rebbe.html.
