BROOKLYN, NY — On the screen, when they appear at all, Chasidic young women are portrayed as cloistered girls raised for a life in the kitchen. In reality, young women in their late teens and early twenties from Chabad Lubavitch backgrounds shoulder significant leadership roles assisting Chabad representatives all around the world.

Holy Sheep – The Far Reaching Effects of Shlichus

By Lazer Avtzon

Approximately 25 years ago, I, together with another seven Bachurim from Oholei Torah merited to be sent by the Rebbe on Shlichus for two years from Oholei Torah to Casablanca, Morocco.

In addition to our mission of learning in the Yeshiva between ourselves and also with members of the community, our outreach to the community at large was through the activities of Tzivot Hashem under the leadership and guidance of the late Shliach, Reb Yehuda Leib (Leibel) Raskin OBM.
