Kfar Chabad Magazine dedicated this week’s edition to life in Crown Heights, the largest population of Chabad Chassidim, in light of the coronavirus pandemic.
It first interviews travel agent Shmuel Kravitzky, mental health counselor Avigdor Zeitlin and fellow resident Menachem Ohana who speak of their illness and miraculous survival.
There is an interview with Rabbi Avrohom Osdoba, senior Rov of the Beis Din of Crown Heights, who mourns the many deaths in the community over the last 2 months and urges people to be more careful not to speak during davening.
Another article profiles the late Rabbi Yisroel Friedman OBM, the beloved and revered Rosh Yeshiva of Beis Medrash Oholei Torah in Crown Heights. Former students speak of his unique personality, unmatched knowledge and great impact.
Rabbi Moshe Gelbstein, a Chabad activist from Rishon Lezion, shares recollections of Rabbi Leibel Groner OBM, who served as the Rebbe’s dedicated mazkir for decades.
The magazine is available on newsstands around Crown Heights.
