The most valuable work being done to help Jewish students in the UK is through the Chabad on Campus Shluchim sponsored by philanthropist Mr. David Slager.
A new BBC documentary focuses on Rabbi Shmuli Brown, Chabad on campus’ Shliach at Liverpool universities.
With Divide Providence, the program highlighting the Rebbe’s work was aired during prime time to millions of viewers in England on the most auspicious day, the Rebbe’s 110th birthday on Yud Alef Nissan.
The six part series features the rabbi and his wife Tzivia Brown’s many educational and social events and their home away from home who were followed with the students by the BBC cameras during freshers week in September 2011.
Rabbi Brown explained how he is contacted by worried parents and carries out meticulous online research to find out who will be studying in Liverpool and what assistance they might need.
He personally received wide acclaim from far and near via email and the social media from Jews and non-Jews alike, making this a massive Kiddush Shem Lubavitch.
One example being “Hi Rabbi, You are brilliant! I’m not Jewish but if I was and my daughter had gone to Liverpool I would want someone like you around. Wonderful work. Don’t stop! Regards and God’s Blessing on you and yours.”

This is so great to see – many BBC documentaries take a less-than-friendly stance on Israel and a less-than-friendly stance on religion. Fantastically encouraging 🙂
