Tzipi Hotovely’s First Official Meeting in Role as Diaspora Minister is with Chabad
Diaspora Affairs Minister Tzipi Hotovely met in Jerusalem Wednesday evening with a group of 30 Chabad on Campus rabbis and rebbetzins in her first official meeting since assuming her new role the day before.
Following a closed-door meeting led by Chabad on Campus International CEO Rabbi Yossy Gordon, Minister Hotovely engaged in an intense one-hour discussion with the entire group as she sought to understand the secret to Chabad’s success on campus.
Hotovely listened attentively and asked pointed questions as the Chabad emissaries related their experience impacting students and suggested strategies for scaling up their success.
The group hails from universities around the world including Melbourne, Dartmouth, Vienna, Princeton, and York University. They are in Jerusalem for an eight-day training session specially designed by Yad Vashem to provide tools to teach students about the Holocaust at universities.
