R. Levi Shemtov Lectures At Chabad at UF

Rabbi Levi Shemtov, Shliach in Washington DC and Director of the American Friends of Lubavitch inspired over one hundred University of Florida students at the Lubavitch-Chabad Jewish Student Center in Gainesville, as the guest speaker on Tuesday night.

Part two of the Lubavitch at UF’s special lecture series titled, ‘From the mountain to the hill, Jewish values in the corridors of power’ was a big hit. Rabbi Shemtov enamored the crowd with humorous stories and meaningful anecdotes. As the Chabad-Lubavitch representative to Washington and a Jewish leader in the capital he had many interesting and inspirational encounters with high profile politicians and entertainers, which he shared, to everyone’s delight.

He left the students with a resounding message that one does not have to compromise their Jewish values to succeed and even more so, religious values and standards are a key to personal and communal success.
