Mayor of Jerusalem Mr. Nir Barkat visited the Ohel grave site of the Lubavitcher Rebbe in the Old Montefiore cemetery in Cambria Heights, Queens, Sunday, praying for the welfare of Israel’s capital.
Not long before his afternoon visit an Arab truck driver led what police suspect was a terror traffic attack in Tel Aviv, crashing into vehicles and pedestrians. One person was killed and 17 others injured.
Barkat also said a prayer for the victims of this attack, as well as the many other attacks the Jewish residents in Israel are enduring around the country.
He was greeted by a delegation of Chabad officials from Lubavitch Headquarters who escorted him as he wrote a pan and said prayers at the gravesite.
In attendance were members of the Rebbe’s secretariat: Rabbi Leibel Groner, Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky (Chairman of Merkos L’inyonei Chinuch), and Rabbi Binyomin Klein (an executive board member of Collel Chabad).
Also present were Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky – Vice Chairman of Merkos L’inyonei Chinuch and the International Kinus Hashluchim, Bal Harbour Shliach Rabbi Shalom Ber Lipskar, Collel Chabad Director Rabbi Sholom Duchman.
Ok Chabad, it’s in your court. Barkat is a smart businessman but he’s making big mistakes because he doesn’t have any Torah or any hashgacha. Make a frum Yid out of him and do some good!
Why don’t they mention Rabbis Havlin and Halperin
wow
rabbi lipskar you are the best.
The last picture is precious! Keep it up! 😉
Lubavitchers from Ocean Parkway Shul also there, Heshy Kornblit and Avremel Stein. Kol Hakovod.
Very special and heart warming.
the Maaneh Lashon that Rabbi Krinsky gave to Mr Nir Barkat is the one the Rebbe used at the ohel for forty years
I’m in tears to see all the achdus ,
