This week marked the first Yartzeit since the massacre of the Rebbes Shluchim to Mumbai. While on duty, the bright candles of Rabbi Gabi and Rivka Holtzberg HYD and their Chabad House guests were extinguished. This Shabbos is dedicated as a Shabbos of Chizuk and Achdus in tribute to these two soldiers of the Rebbe, killed on the frontlines of Shlichus.

  • why not 770?

    sounds beautiful, but why are the davenings not done in 770? just as the kinus the meals are in OT and davening in 770. we just had the siyum and saw how nice it was to have the entire CH even from the rebbes rcome down and dance bachdus! its a shame we cant do it again
