The famous annual pre-selichos farbrengen with Rabbi Sholom Charitonov, held in the Slavin residence near 770, was streamed live on Anash.org, allowing many hundreds of chassidim from around the world to participate.
Every year, large crowds of bochurim, anash and guests pack the house of Rabbi Michoel Slavin, located only feet away from 770 Eastern Parkway, to join a pre-selichos farbrengen with Oholei Torah mashpia Rabbi Sholom Charitonov. Beginning shortly after the conclusion of Shabbos, and continuing until a few minutes before the start of selichos at 1:00 AM, the farbrengen draws hundreds who come to hear the perspective of Chassidus on selichos, the powerful lead up to Rosh Hashana.
“Almost every year, people request that the farbrengen be live-streamed for the benefit of those who who cannot attend in person,” Rabbi Slavin told Anash.org. “Many shluchim who do not have a farbrengen in their area are among those that request on a yearly basis.”
The farbrengen streamed live on Motzei Shabbos, and nearly 1,500 chassidim, including many shluchim, joined at partook in the farbrengen from whichever location they found themselves. Many expressed their thanks to Rabbi Slavin and to Anash.org for enabling them to join the farbrengen, and for stepping up and streaming the only authentic pre-selichos farbrengen available online.
