History Comes Full Circle at Kharkov Wedding

Hundreds of guests came to partake in an historic wedding in Kharkov, Ukraine. Rivka Moskovitz, daughter of the Shluchim to the city, got married in her hometown to Moishy Korf, son of Rabbi Yossi Korf from Crown Heights. Moishy’s grandfather, Reb Gedalya Korf, grew up in Kharkov, and was from the founders of “Ezras Achim” – an organization that kept the flames of Yiddishkeit alive throughout Soviet times. By Hashgocha Protis, it was Ezras Achim that was active in helping the Moskovitz family come as shluchim of the Rebbe to Kharkov in 1990.
