The Chabad of Jacksonville, Florida community traveled to New York for an inspiring and exhilarating Yud Shvat accompanied by Shluchim Rabbi Yossi and Rivkie Kahanov.
The preparation for the trip began a month ago with early morning learning on Mondays and Thursdays of the Basi Legani. On Yud Shvat morning, 11 members of the Jacksonville community boarded a plane to New York, heading straight to the Rebbe’s Ohel where they wrote pan notes and spent time in prayer at the Ohel.
The group then enjoyed an exclusive tour of the Rebbe’s room, followed by a grand inspiring Farbrengen hosted at the home of Rabbi Zalman and Chani Shanowitz of Crown Heights. Leading the Farbrengen were Rabbi Zalman Shanowitz and Rabbi Zalman Schmukler, who told inspiring stories and Chasidic lessons.
Thursday morning, the group headed out for a tour of the Rebbe’s home with Rabbi Mendel Krinsky, followed by a visit to the Rebbe’s Library led by Chief Librarian Rabbi Sholom Ber Levine.
Participants thanked Ephy Shanowitz, who is spending the year on Shlichus in Jacksonville at the First Coast Chabad, for his dedication in organizing and arranging the trip as well as Rore Investing for their sponsorship.
