The group then went back to 770, where they were given a tour of the WLCC welcome center and shown how the Rebbe’s farbrengens were broadcast to the entire world before the days of the internet.
“It is a great privilege for me to start this important journey with Chabad, to see up close the Rebbe’s shul from which he sent thousands of shluchim around the world,” Minister Sofer expressed a the end of his visit.
