Hundreds Gather at The Shul

By Esther Rochel Elkaim

Yud Shvat, the yartzeit of the Frierdiker Rebbe and the day the Rebbe accepted the leadership of Chabad-Lubavitch a year later, was celebrated in The Shul of Bal Harbour in Surfside, Florida.

Hundreds of men and women gathered in the Shul’s social hall for an hours-long chassidic farbrengen, that continued until after midnight.

Rabbi Zalman Lipskar of The Shul welcomed participants and introduced the guest speaker – Rabbi Yossy Goldman, Senior Rabbi of Johannesburg’s largest congregation Sydenham Highlands North Shul and president of the South African Rabbinical Association.

Goldman, author of the recently published “From Where I Stand,” spoke about the importance of Yud Shvat, his experiences on Shlichus, working on refining oneself, and doing the Rebbe’s work to bring Moshiach.
