The Last Seventeen Years (My Life)

32 - 15 = 17 that's what i've been thinking (retro-introspecting) about my
life.

I was about 15 when I started to feel that I was my own person and started
becoming more religious.

17 I fell in love

17 I went to yeshiva

18 I learnt really hard

18 The Rebbe pasted away

19 I went to K’far Chabad (a Lubavitch Yeshiva near Tel-Aviv)

20 I went to Camberwell College of Art

20 I work with Shmuley Boteach for 3 months 2 of which as the Acting ‘rabbi’
of the Oxford L’Chiam Society

21 Yeshiva in 770’ Crown Heights
studying Smicha – weekends in the Village

22 Worked for ‘Friends of Mayanot’

22 Worked in Mayanot Israel
as covert sales operative

23 Went to the University of Manchester
to start an MA in Jewish Studies

23 Started xlubi.com

24 Started a BA (Hons) in Visual Art at Salford
University

24 Started a PhD in the Rebbe’s Messianic Philosophy

24 Lost my virginity

25-27 PhD & BA (Hons)

28 Met my wife

29 Lived in Glasgow

30 Got Married

31 Didn’t get my PhD closed xlubi.com

31 Baby boy

32 Now i'm the 'Urban Guru'

- just that my life my last 15 years has been a little crazy - but good - and bad and getting better.

The Rebbe's life and ideas have had a big impact just as his passing

I wonder in summation what is left between the impact of his ideas and his death - what has that left me with?

I don't expect you to know - but it's a question i'm asking myself.
