Hailing from 3 countries, 28 Chabad shluchim joined a solidarity mission to Eretz Yisroel, where they will comfort, encourage, and uplift soldiers, the injured, and bereaved families.
In coordination with Chabad in Israel, the group will visit soldiers, the wounded recovering in hospitals, broken families who have lost their homes, families in mourning or awaiting the fate of their loved ones in captivity, and government officials.
The group’s goal is to inspire, uplift, and send a message of hope that we in the Diaspora stand with our brothers and sisters in the Holy Land!
“We hope to bring even a small measure of comfort and chizuk by showing them that the Chabad community stands with, and cares tremendously about them,” shliach Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz told Anash.org.
