Announcing New Shluchim to Delaware

Rabbi Motti and Rochel Flikshtein and daughter Shoshi will be moving to Wilmington, DE. They will take the position of Program Directors in the new Chabad Center for Jewish Life.

The community is especially excited, as this is the return home for Rochel, who was born and raised in Wilmington. Her parents and siblings were one of the founding families of Chabad in Delaware and are pillars of Chabad and the local Jewish community.

Motti is from Newtown, PA where his family are very active in the Glazer Chabad Center. Motti, whose stage name is Mor-To-Life, has earned a reputation as one of the rising stars in the Jewish Music world with his new CD “Coming Home”. Tracks can be heard at www.MorToLifeRap.com

An amazing story with a Brocho from the Rebbe happened just a few days ago.
Rabbi Vogel went with the Flikshteins to the Ohel to daven for a Brocho for the new Shlichus. Coming into the tent before going into the Ohel, Rabbi Vogel sees Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky and goes up to him to give Sholom Aleichem. Rabbi Kotlarsky greets Rabbi Vogel with “ Chuni, I just found the Tzetl with the Rebbe’s Brocho to you for your Shlichus to Delaware from 23 1/2 years ago!” Rabbi Vogel was stunned and open mouthed. “ Reb Moshe, do you know why I am here? I have just come to ask for a Brocho for the new Shluchim to Delaware !!! ” The Rebbe’s Brocho to the new Shluchim… 16 years after Gimmel Tamuz!

The new Shluchim can be reached at Motti@ChabadDE.com or Rochel@ChabadDE.com
