David Katz, owner of Zyr Vodka company, was visiting Eber’s Liquor Store in Crown Heights when he met Beijing Shliach Rabbi Shimon Freundlich.
Rabbi Freundlich asked Mr. Katz if he would like to put on Tefillin.
The creator and founder of the Russian-made vodka had never put on Tefillin before, and he emotionally put on Tefillin and celebrated his Bar Mitzvah.
“He was in tears, he had never put on Tefillin in his life,” Yudi Eber, owner of the store, said. “It was an electrifying experience for everyone in the store.”
Yudi Eber is always looking for an opportunity to do mivtza tefillin in the store….there is always a pair of tefillin on the ready there. A real Chabad house on the avenue!! Yasher koach!!
is my main man, a heart of gold to all those lucky to know him, as am I.
Your bro in Canada,
Good Shabbos !!!
Thank you for honoring us Crown Heightsers with your presence and reinspiring us by your beautiful example!!
