Dnepropetrovsk to Rename Street After the Rebbe
Dnepropetrovsk, the Ukrainian city where the Lubavitcher Rebbe grew up, announced that it will soon name a street in his honor.
From the Jerusalem Post:
The name of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, who led the Chabad- Lubavitch hassidic movement from his home in Brooklyn for the second half of the 20th century, was included on a list of streets soon to be renamed that was released recently by the Dnepropetrovsk municipality.
Dnepropetrovsk is home to the world’s largest Jewish center and has a vibrant Jewish community.
Since the 2014 Maidan revolution, which ousted pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych, Ukrainians have sought to erase symbols of the communist regime, knocking down statues of Lenin and renaming streets.
