CROWN HEIGHTS [CHI] — Descendants of the Alter Rebbe gathered this Motzai Shabbos in Crown Heights in honor of the 200th Yohrtzeit of the founder and first Rebbe of Chabad.
With sadness we inform you of the passing of Rabbi Abraham Dov Hecht this Motzai Shabbos, he was 90. He was a very active Rov in the USA, and particularly in NY, and also served as the president of the Igud HaRabbonim.
This year marks 200 years to the passing of the Alter Rebbe, and as a special gesture to Colel Chabad – which he founded and whose holding their annual dinner this Sunday in the Hilton in Manhatten, Binyamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the state of Israel recorded a special message which will be broadcasted at the dinner.
Part 1: Horav Hachossid Reb Chaim Hurwitz, fondly known as Reb Chaim Tashkenter, was born to Hachossid Reb Moshe Avrohom Halevi and Mrs. Masha Liba on Shushan Purim 1902 in Suraz, Russia. Suraz, north of Vitebsk and 40 km. from Horodok, was a genuinely chassidishe city.
Chassidim made the trek to Haditch in Ukraine, the city where the Alter Rebbes Tziyon is located, to spend his 200th Yohtrziet close by. The following is the first photo gallery of Davening on Motzai Shabbos.
