For the third year in a row, a large group from Moscow spent Shabbos Slichos at the Ohel of the Lubavitcher Rebbe in Cambria Heights, Queens.
Accompanied by Russia’s head Shliach and Chief Rabbi Berel Lazar, the group of sixy businessmen and lay leaders flew together to New York for four days of spiritual inspiration in preparation for the upcoming new year.
The group included members of Moscow’s Padushkina neighborhood Chabad House, led by Rabbi Alexander Barda, as well as members from various other Chabad Houses in Moscow.
A highlight of the program was a special trip to connect to the Rebbe through prayer and writing a pan – note at the Rebbe’s gravesite. A general pan on behalf of all of Russian Jewry was read as well with great emotion.
The participants also visited Crown Heights, getting a glimpse of the bustling erev Shabbos preparations, toured the Jewish Children’s Museum, and visited the main Lubavitch Synagogue 770, and the Rebbe’s room.
The group spent Shabbos at the Ohel, praying, taking part in farbrengens, and enjoying Torah classes given by Shluchim Baruch Goren and Avraham Bekerman.
Later, they joined a Melava Malka hosted by renowned Jewish music composer Yossi Green, who accompanied Chasidic singer Benny Friedman on the piano.
The trip concluded with a heartfelt Slichos prayer in the Rebbe’s house on President Street, led by chazzan Shneur Zalman Baumgarten.
The group returned home on Sunday, and thanked the organizers of this unique trip – Shluchim Rabbi Mordechai Weisberg, Rabbi Shmuel Kuperman and Fleishman Productions Co. – for all their efforts.

Reb Yona recommenced the wine business with several partners in the United States. It was an uphill struggle all the way and by 1950 all the partners had pulled out and left Reb Yona alone with a faltering business and an all but shattered dream.
At this point, he sought the counsel of the previous Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yoseph Yizchak Schneerson, who encouraged him to hang in and advised him get the Hashgacha for his wine from the Tzelemer Rav. The !
Reb Yona took the Rebbe’s advice and the business picked up.
