Rabbi Eliyahu is Moser nefesh for the yeshiva. The entire Chabad owes Rabbi Eliyahu and his family lots of appreciation for his tireless efforts.
Eliyahu deserves all this credit and more! Unbelievable person, heart of gold, extremely hard worker, passionate about everything the rebbe was passion about. Watch him and observe what an amazing, kind, dedicated husband and father looks like. What a true shliach looks like. Not looking for honor or prestige, just simply dedicating every aspect of his life to make this world a kinder and holier place!
