A Tribute: Pioneering Rabbi to Israeli Immigrants
Rabbi Shalom Ber Lifshitz, founder of the Yad L’achim organization, addresses Russian immigrants to Israel.
Rabbi Shalom Ber Lifshitz, whose dedication to the physical and spiritual wellbeing of new Israelis nurtured entire communities of freshly-arrived refugees from locations around the world, passed away last month at the age of 83. The Chabad-Lubavitch activist’s approach to social welfare encompassed his entire being, expressing itself in the motto: “We will not give up on the wellbeing of any Jew.”
