When Borscht Belt Meets Bible Belt
In just 11 years, Rabbi Yosef and Bina Goldwasser, shluchim to Mobile, Alabama have inspired Alabamians young – and not as young – to take on more Torah learning and Mitzvahs.
In Episode 59 of Lamplighters: Stories From Chabad Emissaries On The Jewish Frontier, reporter/producer Gary Waleik presents the story of Rabbi Yosef and Rebbetzin Bina Goldwasser, Shluchim to Mobile, Alabama. In just 11 years, the Goldwassers have inspired Alabamians young – and not as young – to take on more Torah learning and Mitzvahs. And those Jews are, in turn, inspiring others to do the same.
Lamplighters: Stories From Chabad Emissaries On The Jewish Frontier is producing a series of moving, beautifully produced, sound-rich, and often surprising stories of shluchim and the people they inspire in every corner of the world.
