Special video tributes played at the Or Hachasidus gala banquet paid tribute to visionaries whose support was the catalyst for spreading Chasidus in innovative and unique ways.
Behind every great movement or significant change stands the catalysts — those who inspire, support, and propel it forward.
Today, Or Hachasidus is an organization with a global reach, spreading the Rebbe’s Torah to countless Yidden across countries and communities. But it wasn’t always this way. Or Hachasidus started as a small operation run by two young bochurim, and it took years of dedication, sweat, and tears to bring it to where it is today.
Along that journey, there were several visionaries who saw what could be accomplished and threw their support behind the fledgling organization, propelling it forward to what it is today.
These visionaries were saluted this week at the Or Hachasidus gala banquet, paying tribute to their dedication to the cause of hafatzas hamayanos.
Watch these tributes to the catalysts behind the global movement.
