Michelle Coleman - The Australian Jewish News

Rabbi Mendel Goldstein, co-director of Chabad-Lubavitch in New Zealand, heads off to search for missing Israeli backpacker Liat Tess-Okin.

The search for missing Israeli backpacker Liat Tess-Okin was boosted late last week by the addition of a search helicopter underwritten by Chabad-Lubavitch of Sydney.

The 35-year-old Israeli woman has been missing for almost three weeks, after failing to return from a three-day trek on the Routeburn Track near Queenstown, which she started on March 25.

36 years ago, at a special Farbrengen gathering to celebrate his 70th birthday, The Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, asked his followers to establish 71 new Chabad educational and outreach institutions. At the Farbrengen, West Coast Chabad-Lubavitch immediately made a commitment to The Rebbe to open at least 10 percent of the new centers.

The very next day, the first of these new institutions — the Chabad House in Berkley, CA — was launched in The Rebbe's office at 770 Eastern Parkway in a private audience with his emissaries on the West Coast, Rabbi Shmuel Dovid haLevi Raichik OBM, and Rabbi Boruch Shlomo Eliyohu Cunin, Director of West Coast Chabad-Lubavitch.

World leaders; statesmen; great rabbis; artists; business leaders: the roster of well-known personalities who interacted with the Rebbe is a veritable Who's Who. To some the Rebbe corresponded in writing, others came to the Rebbe for a private audience; still others received the Rebbe's blessing and advice at a brief encounter on Sundays when the Rebbe distributed dollars to be given to charity. In honor of Yud Aleph Nissan, the Rebbe's Birthday, I am happy to present a few glimpses into these interactions.
