In 1988 Rabbi Shmuley Boteach

where, in 1989, he established the
Oxford University L'Chaim Society which became the second largest
ever students' society at the University. In 1994,
he changed the society from a student society into an independent organization
and later that year the relationship between the L'Chaim Society and Chabad
was terminated. L'Chaim Society remained active until 2001.(ii) |
