== Connections with Chabad == The previous Rebbe, Rabbi Yaakov Yosef, frequently encouraged Skverer chassidim, particularly the kollel yungeleit, yeshiva bochurim, and Talmud Torah students, to study the Shulchan Aruch HaRav, emphasizing that in earlier times, the chassidic courts would determine halacha solely based on this Shulchan Aruch. Consequently, his son, the current Rebbe, directs and instructs that the Shulchan Aruch HaRav be studied in dozens of batei medrash, kollel halacha, and yeshivos that he established. When the Rebbe sat shiva for Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka, the Skverer Rebbe sent his firstborn son Rabbi Aharon Menachem Mendel, son-in-law of the Vizhnitzer Rebbe of Monsey, as his shliach. On 3 Tammuz 1994, the Skverer Rebbe came to 770. Inspired by the Skverer Rebbes, Rabbi Yehoshua Leifer, a moreh tzedek in Skverer shikun and son-in-law of Rabbi Moshe Neuschloss, av beis din of the shikun, published a new illuminating edition of the Shulchan Aruch HaRav in 1993 with sources and references, as the first sefer of the Oz VeHadar Institute that he established. Similarly, Rabbi Yair Lunger, one of the rabbonim of the kollel center in Skverer shikun, established the "Knishta D'Bei Rav" Institute, which has published the "Shulchan Aruch HaRav HaMevuar" and "Kuntres Acharon HaMevuar" on hilchos Shabbos. In 2001, Rabbi Zundel Shimanowitz, Rosh Kollel of Toldos Yaakov Yosef Skvira in Brooklyn, published the sefer "Biurei HaShulchan" on the Shulchan Aruch HaRav. A few years ago, a family that previously belonged to Skverer Chassidus but wasn't observant arrived at the Chabad House in Cozumel, Mexico. Following their visit to the Chabad House, the entire family became baalei teshuva, and today they are fully Chabad. In Sivan 2022, the shliach to Cozumel, Rabbi Dudi Caplin, met with the Skverer Rebbe, who was impressed and said that only the Rebbe could reach all types of Jews, and even requested to participate in the Chabad House activities in Cozumel.
