3 Rabbis Who ‘Twitter’

From New York City to San Francisco and back again in a van, the traveling troupe is three young rabbis in training.

These young men came through Salt Lake City because they are members of the Lubavitch Youth Organization, and Rabbi Benny Zippel of Chabad Lubavitch of Utah welcomed them. We found them meeting and greeting downtown.

They say they are spreading a message of unity and doing good deeds. They say they are pleasantly surprised at how receptive and friendly people have been in Salt Lake and all along the way.

They give wristbands which say “I’ve met the Road Sage, and I’ve performed a good deed.” For those of the Jewish faith, it’s called a Mitzvah–the pay it forward concept.

And although they follow ancient principles in their faith, the young soon-to-be rabbis have jumped into the technology age. Dov Barber, the Road Sage, said, “We’ve set up a website. We’ve set up a blog. We upload photos, Twitter.

The Road Sage group will be in San Francisco Friday evening to celebrate the Sabbath there.
