Rav Avraham Tzvi Rokeach, Grandson of the Belzer Rebbe, stopped by the Chabad of JFK Airport counter on his way to Israel on Wednesday.
After hearing about the various activities of Chabad, among them the writing of the Unity Torahs (Sefer Torah Hakloli), Rav Rokeach purchased letters in the Children’s Sefer Torah for his children. This was done specifically in honor of Shnas Hakhel, just as his grandfather, the current Belzer Rebbe, had done when the Rebbe first announced the initiative of writing the children’s Sefer Torah in 5741/1981 – Shnas Hakhel.
Rav Rokeach was then presented with the Sefer Darchei Hachassidus. A conversation ensued around the warm relationship shared between Lubavitch and Belz throughout the generations.
Rav Rokeach gave words of chizuk and bracha for the continued success of the Rebbe’s Shlichus of ChabadAir under its Director Rabbi Yossi Rapp.
