Kiryat Chabad Hosts Thousands on Arizal’s Yartzeit

The Kiryat Chabad Association hosted thousands of visitors at the annual pilgrimage commemorating the Yartzeit of the holy Arizal. Provided by Chabad to the masses of people was food, a video of the Rebbe throughout the day, lessons in the Arizal Torah and the sale of Hasidic books at discounted prices.

Due to the limitations of the past year, it was not possible to set up a tent as well as distribute meals in the usual way, but the Kiryat Chabad Association did not give up, and set up a huge and magnificent “hospitality” complex, at the entrance to Beit HaChaim where thousands of food packages were distributed.

Guests were greeted by a huge screen with a video of the Rebbe, selected and prepared especially for the occasion, along with a tent selling basic Hasidic books at discounted prices.

During the night, lessons in the Arizal Torah were given by Hassidic lecturer Rabbi Menachem Mintzberg. There were also classes held for women.
