Israeli Minister Hosted by Chabad in Colombia

The Israeli Minister of Agriculture, Yair Shamir, arrived in Colombia this past weekend to attend the swearing-in ceremony of President Juan Manuel Santos. While there, he visited the Chabad Center of Bogota, led by Rabbi Yehoshua Rosenfeld.

Shamir, the son of former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzchak Shamir, attended services at the Chabad synagogue on Friday, and arrived again on Motzei Shabbos to hear Havdalah.

With the assistance of his close acquaintance, Rabbi Levi Edri of Kfar Chabad, minister Shamir is meticulous about visiting the local Chabad Center of almost every country he visits.
