Rabbi Sudak
Teachings and lectures by Rabbi Sudak.
Rabbi Nachman Sudak OBE (d. 2014) was the Principal of Lubavitch UK for over fifty years. Born in the Soviet Union, where he studied in Chabad's underground yeshivahs, he came to London in 1959 at the direction of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, who referred to him as "my rabbi in London." Under his leadership, Chabad UK grew into a national organisation of schools, community centres and campus houses. In 2001, Queen Elizabeth II awarded him the OBE for his work with British youth. The recordings in this collection are drawn from a weekly class Rabbi Sudak gave in his home over many decades.
