A brightly wrapped Mitzvah Cybertruck has recently been making its way across the country, turning heads and drawing Jews out of the woodwork wherever it goes. Since its launch, the truck has sparked chance encounters with Yidden who had no connection to a Jewish community.

A century-old wooden shul from the Siberian town of Zima has been painstakingly reconstructed beside Lake Baikal, restoring a vanished piece of Jewish life in one of the world’s most remote regions.

For the 47th consecutive year, dozens of veteran shluchim who were personally sent by the Rebbe to Eretz Yisroel between 5736 and 5738 (1976-1978) gathered this past Shabbos for their annual reunion in Kfar Chabad.

Less than a year ago, the site was little more than excavated earth and concrete footings. Today, Bais Levi Yitzchok’s new shul stands enclosed, insulated, and rapidly moving toward completion, with the community hoping to open its doors in time for Rosh Hashanah.

In only a few hours, the sun will set and the auspicious day will end.Don’t wait, donate now and help strengthen Yiddishkeit in Kazakhstan on the Yahrzeit of Reb Levi Yitzchok, and merit the Rebbe’s incredible bracha. 

Throughout Shas, these two great Amoraim debate countless halachic questions, and the general rule is that the halacha follows Rava, aside from the famous exceptions known as Ya’al Kegam. Harav Levi Yitzchak Schneerson offered a profound explanation based on Kabbalah.

The Rebbe was not only a devoted son, but also his father’s foremost student and trusted Torah partner. From childhood, Harav Levi Yitzchak recognized his son’s extraordinary understanding, and even after they were separated by the Iron Curtain, their bond continued.
