Hundreds of women and girls joined for Machon L’Yahadus annual Boutique Auction celebrating the birthday of Rebbetzin Chana on Motzoei Shabbos at Lubavitch Yeshiva in Crown Heights.
Rabbi Shloma Majeski, principal, addressed the crowd about the mission of the school educating Jewish girls and young women in their journey to true Torah-Judaism, empowering them to go on to build their own warm Jewish homes.
Student Sara Benezra entertained with a stunning vocal performance accompanied by live music by former student Yael Kane. Mrs. Henya Laine spoke about Rebbetzin Chana. MC for the evening was the entertaining Mrs. Miriam Friedfertig.
The highlight of the evening was a performance by stand-up comedian Zehavit Rosenbloom from Montreal, Canada, who had participants laughing the night away as she shared her hilarious take on her personal journey to Torah and Mitzvos.
We would like to express our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to you, our auction participant, for your steadfast support of a cause so close to the Rebbe’s heart!
Mazal Tov to all of the lucky winners!
