EditorialAn undated photo provided by JEM shows Rabbi Yoel Kahn speaking at a community gathering on Oct. 15, 1979. Rabbi Yoel Kahn, who as a leading disciple of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the revered leader of the Lubavitch Hasidim, had the uncanny ability to memorize virtually verbatim the grand rabbi’s hourslong speeches and discourses, which he then compiled into roughly 150 published volumes, died on July 15, 2021, in Manhattan. He was 91. The cause was cardiac arrest, said Motti Seligson, a spokesman for the worldwide Chabad-Lubavitch movement. (Levi Freidin/JEM via The New York Times)
