Farbrengen at Bris Avrohom
In honor of Gimmel Tammuz, Bris Avrohom held a farbrengen. Rabbi Yaakov Reitzes, an emissary of Rebbe Menachem Schneerson, z”l, inYesud HaMa’ala in Upper Galilee Israel since 1976, was the speaker. When Rabbi Reitzes moved to Israel, the town he settled did not have even one Jewish peron who observed Shabbat. He and his wife succeeded in creating a busy and full synagogue there. Rabbi Reitzes told personal stories about himself and the rebbe, and how he hopes to educate and inspire the young generation.
The evening was sponsored by the Kanchik/Libson families, as they do annually, in commemoration of the yahrtzeit of the patriarch of their family, Greg Libson. Rabbi Mordechai Kanelsky, who introduced the speaker, also welcomed Lenny Kanchik, a grandson of Greg Libson, who went to Israel two years ago as a lone soldier.
