While Everyone is Preparing for Purim Merkos Prepares for Pesach

Yesterday interviews began for potential Merkos Shluchim to Russia for Pesach. Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky, Vice Chairman of Merkos L’inyonei Chinuch, who oversees this project, conducted the interviews. He took a personal interest in each group and sat for some time interviewing them.

Last year hundreds of Bochurim traveled around the world from Bulgaria to Bloivia and from Africa to Nepal in order to conduct Sedorim and spread the message of Pesach.

“We have experienced a huge jump in applications,” said Rabbi Yosef Plotkin, who is coordinating the registration. “It reflects the bochurim’s strong interest in spending Pesach on the Rebbe’s Shlichus.”
