Israeli Knesset Delegation Visits the Rebbe’s Ohel Ahead of Israel-Day Parade

A delegation of Israeli Knesset members, led by Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, visited the Ohel of the Rebbe in Queens on Friday for a joint prayer gathering ahead of their participation in New York’s annual Israel-Day parade.

The delegation was welcomed and hosted by Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Neiman, the Rebbe’s Shliach to the diplomatic community in New York.

Following a respectful reception and spiritual preparation that included donning tefillin and writing personal prayer requests, the delegation entered the Ohel, where they offered both personal prayers and collective prayers on behalf of the Jewish people and those living in Eretz Yisroel.

Participating members of the delegation included Deputy Knesset Speaker Meir Cohen, Vladimir Beliak and Merav Ben-Ari of Yesh Atid; Eti Atiya, Afif Abed and Ariel Kellner of Likud; Orit Farkash-Hacohen and Eitan Ginzburg of Blue and White; and Oded Forer and Yulia Malinovsky of Yisrael Beiteinu.

The large Knesset delegation traveled to New York to take part in the massive Israel-Day parade held Sunday in Manhattan, joining thousands demonstrating solidarity and support for Israel.
