In Episode 52 of Lamplighters: Stories From Chabad Emissaries On The Jewish Frontier, reporter/producer Gary Waleik presents the story of Chabad of Denmark, under the leadership of Rabbi Yitzi and Rebbetzin Rochel Loewenthal.
The Loewenthal’s Jewish outreach presents unique challenges; the overwhelmingly secular Danish society saved many Jews during WWII, but the Jews in Copenhagen face pressure to hide their Jewishness. There are also serious security concerns that require around the clock synagogue security.
Lamplighters: Stories From Chabad Emissaries On The Jewish Frontier is producing a series of moving, beautifully produced, sound-rich and often surprising stories of Chabad shluchim and the people they inspire in every corner of the world.
