In honor of the day of liberation of the Mitteler Rebbe and the year of Hakhel, the Montreal community gathered in Heichal Menachem of Cot S. Luc for a farbrengen.
The event was organized by Rabbi Menachem Mendel Raskin to spread the message of the year of Hakhel and the Rebbe’s instruction on what should be done during the year.
MC for the evening was Rabbi Michoel Dahan, dean of Bais Chaya Mushka Seminary, who opened the evening with words from the Rebbe.
The guest speaker was Rabbi Mendel Kaplan of Chabad of Flamingo in Toronto, who inspired participants about the message of Hakhel and how it applies to each one of us.
Rabbi Raskin then spoke, giving practical ways to accomplish the Rebbe’s directives regarding uniting Jewish people in the year of Hakhel. Cards were distributed to the crowd to fill out their commitments to get involved in Hakhel activities.
The event was truly empowering there must have been over 600 people in attendance.
Thank you Rabbi Raskin for hosting this event and Rabbi Paris and Rabbi Kramer for spearheading and organizing it
Kol HaKavod!!
