Brazil Anash Get Sneak Peak of Historic Documents

On Wednesday, June 13, Anash in S. Paulo, Brazil were treated to a special evening. Taking advantage of a visit by Rabbi Elkonoh Shmotkin, who was accompanying the ‘My Encounter’ interview team on a journey collecting precious testimonies and stories from several residents of the city, a special presentation took place in the ‘Beit Chabad Central,’ exhibiting historic documents pertinent to the early years of the Rebbe’s life.

Many of the documents had only been discovered in the recent past, and are yet to see light in a book co-authored by Rabbi Shmotkin and Rabbi Boruch Oberlander, Shliach in Budapest, Hungary, which is due to be published in the near future.

Official documents, personal diary pages, correspondence with The Frierdiker Rebbe, Reb Levik, and many Torah giants of the time, are but few of the precious material that was shown over the course of the event.

Many Shluchim and Anash attended the event, filling the hall to capacity. A live explanation, both in Hebrew and English, accompanied each exhibit as it appeared on the screen.
