Photos: Tefilin at Auschwitz

Shturem

Rabbi Eliezer Gurary and a group of Israeli bochurim were on hand to offer Torah and Mitzvos to ‘March of the Living’ participants at the Auschwitz concentration camp. The marchers were offered Tfillin, and many ‘karkaftas’ were discovered among the marchers, all eager to perform this mitzvah for the very first time. Many Israeli police officers joined the march and put on Tfilin, including Police Commissioner Yochanan Danino.

Rabbi Gurary flew in the bochurim at his expense, making certain that the Rebbe’s message and mivtzoim would reach every participant.

Halls and dining areas were koshered to provide kosher food for the thousands of marchers.
