A large crowd of shluchim, Anash, and community members from across Greater Boston gathered this past Tuesday night for a powerful Yud Tes Kislev farbrengen at Beth Menachem Chabad of Newton, directed by shliach Rabbi Sholom Ber Prus. The event was arranged by The Zachary – The Tuesday night Tanya Chabura, led by Jonathan B. Shapiro and Levi Yitzchok Kapilevich.

The farbrengen was a collaboration of an unusually broad coalition of Chabad houses and businesses from throughout the region, all listed as partners in the evening.

Guest speaker Rabbi Moshe Lieberman farbrenged at length about the Alter Rebbe’s geulah, the foundations of Chassidus Chabad, and practical hiskashrus in daily life. Shluchim Rabbi Mendy Bleich and Rabbi Mendel Lieberman also assisted in coordinating the event.
