An emotional moment was captured this week in Kfar Chabad: Rabbi Levi Wilmowsky, longtime director of Chabad institutions in the northern Israeli city of Migdal HaEmek, was seen walking on his own two feet.
Rabbi Wilmowsky recently endured a serious medical ordeal, including a stroke just before Pesach and a lengthy hospitalization at Shamir Medical Center.
His condition had been critical. But with Hashem’s help, he has made a remarkable recovery.
Just two weeks ago, he was filmed singing heartfelt Chabad niggunim from his hospital bed with the Mezamrim choir who came to visit him.

Born in 1961, Rabbi Wilmowsky is the son of the renowned Chassid Reb Zushe “The Partisan.” He began his shlichus in Holon in the late 1970s, and was later appointed by the Rebbe to lead and develop the Chabad institutions in Migdal HaEmek.
For over 30 years, he has dedicated himself to the city’s yeshiva, cheder, and local Chabad Houses, while residing in Kfar Chabad.
His return to daily functioning has sparked heartfelt reactions across the Chabad community, with many offering davening of gratitude for his healing. “His smile is back,” said one close friend, “and our hearts are full once again.”
Hashem granted our wishes
