Special Yud Shvat Mivtzoyim by 400 Beis Rivkah Students

MONTREAL, Canada [CHI] — Six busses transported 400 Beis Rivkah Montreal students to do Mivtzoyim in 20 different locations throughout Montreal, in honor of Yud Shvat – Shnas Hashishim, marking 60 years of the Rebbe’s leadership.

The Elementary Students shared Mitzvos and fun with residents at 11 senior citizens homes. The High School students presented original “Mitzvah Fairs” at a variety of Jewish schools in the city. In addition, 200 pre-school children greatly enjoyed an educational and entertaining “My 770” fair, organized by the Grade 7 students. All programs shared a common goal – to bring Moshiach closer by doing the Rebbe’s Mivtzoyim.

On the way out from Beis Rivkah the students watched lively scenes of Kos Shel Brocho by the Rebbe. The tunes of Chassidishe Niggunim from the Rebbe’s Farbrengens, playing over outdoor loudspeakers, escorted them towards their shlichus.

Rabbi Yosef Minkowitz, principal of Beis Rivkah Montreal, said “in all the places they visited, the students left an amazing impression, and were asked to return for Purim”.

    Rabbi and Mrs. Minkowitz are the most amazing people. The amount of kochos they put into everything is incredible. Imagine the logistics of organizing safely this great undertaking. My daughter could not stop talking about it before and after the event.

    They really go above and beyond the call of duty to deliver a positive learning experience for our girls. They have a pride in their school and identify in the most positive way as Chabad Chassidim. This does not happen by itself, but with all these programs, Shabbatons, Melave Malka etc. They remember this more than the chumash, navi and even tanya.

    I just want to let Rabbi and Mrs Minkowitz know that there are so many of us out there that never really take the time to say thank you for all you do.

    This is a great opportunity for us to be express our appreciation for your incredible devotion. The school is clean, organized, mesudar, great teachers and lots of creativity…..Kol Hakavod….

    I don’t think this is a great way to show appreciation You should go over to them personally or if you’re shy then write a letter …..Putting a comment here is still not the proper way to thank whoever you appreciate……
