Hachnosas Safer Torah from Gush Katif to Chevron
The annual gathering in honor of the 24th of Shvat, the Yortzeit of Rebbetzin Menucha Rochel, was attended by about 1000 people, who arrived by buses from all parts of Israel.
The visitors first went to the Tziyon of the Rebbetzin and then joined together in an impressive procession through the streets of Chevron, led by the Safer Torah that originated in Gush Katif, towards the Shul of the Mittler Rebbe in the ‘Avrohom Avinu’ neighborhood. On the way, the crowd stopped at the Schneerson Home where they were told about the history of the building.
The Safer Torah was dedicated to the memory of Nataniel Uzeri and Hillel Liberman HAYA”D, who were killed by terrorists. Shimon Uzeri, father of Nataniel, was honored in carrying the Sefer Torah, which was entered to the recently reconstructed Shul of the Mittler Rebbe.

The crowd headed to the Meoras Hamachpela to daven Maariv and then continued for the festive meal in the Gutnick Center, where the program was chaired by Rabbi Naftoli Rot and was addressed by Rabbi Michoel Halperin, of the Givah Tsorfatit neighborhood in Yerushalayim and member of the Chabad High Court in Israel, Rabbi Zeev Slonim and Rabbi Dovid Meir Druckman of Kiryat Motchkin.
The festive meal was funded by Rabbi Leibel Baumgarten, Shliach to Long Island who participated in the event with his brother, Levi Baumgarten, who arrived with a group of tourists from Long Island. The meal was dedicated to the memory of Menucha Rochel Baumgarten, a’h, who passed away at an early age.
