Rubashkin Inspires Melava Malka

Dozens of Machon Alte of Tzfat’s graduates and their spouses gathered for a joyous Rosh Chodesh Kislev Melave Malka at the home of Machon Founder and dean Rabbi Yosef and Rachel Leah Rosenfeld.

For so many of the girls, the Rosenfelds and the entire Machon Alte staff played a significant role in their journey from secular, searching, single women — to mothers and wives with beautiful Chassidishe families and homes. It was truly a homecoming, but even more than that, it was an unequivocal inspiration to carry on with even more strength and more success!

Simultaneously, as this melave malka was taking place in the holy city of Tzfat, thousands of emissaries of the Rebbe were gathered in Brooklyn for the annual “Kinus HaShluchim. Rabbi Rosenfeld emphasized the importance of shlichus. Indeed, hundreds of Machon Alte graduates and their spouses already have gone on “shlichus” and are lighting up college campuses and cities –literally throughout the world!

The candle-lit tables, the scrumptious blintzes, salads, and delicious pumpkin soup – and the joy and love the entire Rosenfeld family put into every drop of the evening– were accompanied by a D’var Torah from Rabbi Rosenfeld, moving and poignant videos of the Rebbe– the source of everyone’s inspiration — and a special video marking the third yahrzeit of the kedoshim Rabbi Gavriel Noach and Rivky Holtzberg obm.

Mrs. Rosenfeld said the inspiration for the entire evening came from her brother, Shalom Mordechai Rubashkin, who is known for his love of the weekly Melava Malka custom.

All the participants joined Mrs. Rosenfeld’s heartfelt wish that her brother should immediately be released from the galus of an utterly unfair imprisonment and the complete redemption for all Am Yisroel speedily in our days.
