Assimilation: Chabad rabbis should do their work in the US

The US has the biggest Jewish population by far, outside of Israel. They, as well as Latin America, experience a clear trend of massive unprecedented assimilation.

It baffles me that our rabbis and our communal leaders keep shtum, preferring to look the other way… They seem not to understand that whatever happens there, will inevitably have repercussions on practically all other Jewish communities around the world, including Israel. 

The Lubavitcher Rebbe sent many emissaries to Jewish communities around the world, many years ago. Maybe it is time to send some of those rabbis back to America…

I am afraid that Judaism may become a colossal failure. What a pity. I would like to see public discussions about Judaism and the effect of religion on our history.
