On Friday night, young residents of the Kfar Chabad village in Israel will be holding their first Kabbalas Shabbos in the newly built “Yossi Raichik Shul.”
A modern decor of clean white walls, dark oak wood bookshelves, desert colored cushioned benches, a tall ceiling in the main sanctuary and marble washing stations will be greeting them.
Chasin-Dverchik-Ronen Architechts are responsible for the building which includes a state-of-the-art mikvah and was constructed in accordance with Israel’s Green Planning of environmentally responsible and resource-efficient construction.
The shul is said be be serving “young people” of the Chassidic village and is named after Rabbi Yossi Raichik, the beloved director of Chabad’s Children of Chernobyl organization who was a positive influence on Kfar Chabad residents.
A web site was recently launched commemorating the life and achievements of Rabbi Yossi Raichik, OBM, featuring the various projects undertaken by his family and friends in his memory, www.oroshelyoseph.org.
