RIVERDALE, NY [CHI] — Over 250 friends and supporters gathered Saturday evening, January 23, 2010, for a gala evening of dinner, entertainment, and tribute, celebrating the 18th anniversary of Chabad-Lubavitch of Riverdale, directed by Rabbi Levi Y. and Sorah Shemtov at the New York Botanical Garden. The honorees were Al Kahn & Dr. Robert & Rachel Jetter, & Daniel & Chani Oshinsky.
The Rebbe says:

2. The Rebbe points out that since our Sages tell us that everything can be found in the Torah, this idea that as the result of the wellsprings of Chassidus being spread throughout the world Moshiach will come must also be hinted at in the Torah:
In its description of the exodus from Egypt, the Torah says, “The children of Israel left triumphantly”. The Targum Onkelos (a major translator of the Torah into Aramaic) translates this verse into Aramaic and writes, “The children of Israel left with their heads held high”.
