In Kfar Chabad, the grand Yud Tes Kislev Farbrengen saw thousands of people, including many high-profile figures and Rabbonim, join at Beis Menachem for an uplifting event.

Shliach to Zhytomyr, Ukraine, Rabbi Shlomo Wilhelm, was the guest of honor. He shared inspiring accounts of how he evacuated his entire orphanage to Ashkelon at the start of the war between Russia and Ukraine.

Chief Rabbis of Israel, Rabbi Kalman Bar, and Rabbi David Yosef addressed the crowd. Rabbi Shlomo Yehuda Be’eri, known as the “Yenuka” made a Siyum on the Tanya and then played an emotional rendition of the Daled Bavos on a keyboard.

Father of Eliyahu Levi HYD, R’ Ranen Levi recited Tehillim in the merit of the hostages. IDF Spokesperson Brig. General Daniel Hagari attended the event, as well as many other dignitaries from the government.

R’ Moshe (Mona) Rosenblum and R’ Nemuel Harosh played uplifting and joyous niggunim during the event.

The event was organized by the Kfar Chabad Committee under the leadership of Rabbi Shimon Rabinowitz, with Rov of Kfar Chabad, Rav Meir Ashkenazi and members of the Beis Din and other esteemed Rabbonim attending the farbrengun.
