Lubavitcher Soldiers Farbreng for Yud Tes Kislev

JERUSALEM [CHI] — In honor of Yud Tes Kislev a group of forty Lubavitcher Israeli Defense Force soldiers gathered in the old city of Jerusalem for a Farbrengen. Active and veteran soldiers sat together Farbrengen into the night.

The group included vets from the 1970’s, the first Lebanon war, the battle for Jenin and those currently serving in the IDF. Additionaly those who are waiting to join the IDF participated as well.

More events catering to the Chabad Soldiers are planned for the future. Currently there are believed to be close to two hundred soldiers with connections to chabad serving in the IDF.

    G-d bless the Rhodes’s of Bat Ayin. You guys do so much and are such a big inspiration to a lot of young Lubavitcher’s who pass through Israel and serve in the IDF.

    May g-d give you guys strength to continue and increase your work.

    Happy Chanukah.
