An intense day of inspiration for Rabbis and Chabad House Directors of Moscow and its neighboring cities was held at the Chabad center in the wealthy Zhukovka suburb of Moscow.
About seventy rabbis – Chabad shluchim, attended, as well as the Rabbi of Zhukovka, Rabbi Alexander Boroda, Executive Director of the Ohr Avner Fund, Rabbi Dovid Mondshine and Director of Ohr Avner offices, Rabbi Eliyahu Wolff.
The seminar was organized by the Executive Director of the Marina Roscha Chabad Center, who also oversees the other Chabad Houses in Moscow, Rabbi Mordechai Weisberg.
The day began with early morning Chassidus classes and ended with a warm Chassidic farbrengen with special guest Shliach from Thailand, Rabbi Nechemia Wilhelm.
Rabbi Wilhelm shared stories from his life on Shlichus in Thailand and inspired the shluchim towards the upcoming day of Gimmel Tammuz.
Throughout the day participants enjoyed many shiurim and special workshops on how to increase their success in working with Russian Jewry in all areas of Jewish life.
