The newly constructed Chabad Center in Barcelona hosted its first major community event, a lecture with Rabbi Dovid Eliezrie, author of “The Secret of Chabad-Inside the world’s most successful Jewish movement.”
Rabbi Dovid Lebersohn, Shliach in Barcelona, explained, “we thought it would be a wonderful way to launch our programs in the newly constructed center with a deeper understanding of Chabad’s impact on modern Jewish life.”
Barcelona is home to some 1,000 Jewish families. The Chabad Center hosts a wide variety of programs including youth activities, daily minyanim, adult education, preschool and a visitors center in the historic Jewish Quarter of Barcelona.
Rabbi Eliezrie noted, “Barcelona has a long Jewish history. In 1391 a tragic pogrom extinguished that wonderful community. The efforts of Rabbi Lebersohn and the other Shluchim in the region have created a Jewish renaissance, returning to Barcelona the Jewish glory of centuries ago.”
“The Secret of Chabad” was recognized by the National Jewish Book Awards, the first Chabad book ever to receive this distinction. It can be ordered here.
