Frenchmen Bond in New York

By COLlive reporter

In honor of Gimmel Tammuz, The Lincoln Place Shul of Crown Heights in conjunction with Chabad of Midtown Manhattan and Chabad of Great Neck organized 3 Hakhels for the French-speaking Jewish community of New York.

Rabbi Benyamin Mergui, a long time Shliach in Paris, director of the Boys Chabad school of Paris and professor in mathematics, was the guest speaker at the three conferences.

He lectured on the topic: “The success to seek for our children,” giving educational advice based on the Rebbe’s teachings and Chasidus philosophy. The crowd enjoyed his professional advice, and many good resolutions were taken as a result of the talks.
