New Shluchim Are Headed to Silicon Valley

By COLlive reporter

Rabbi Mendel and Mussi Weinfeld (nee Kaplan) signed on a new Chabad House in Almaden Valley, California, where they will be serving Silicon Valley, where the tech industry has attracted tens of thousands of Jews.

The Weinfelds will be moving out this Sunday and are excited to be joining the force of Shluchim sent by the Rebbe to Silicon Valley.

They expressed thanks to Rabbi Aaron Meir and Frumie Cunin, Shluchim of Chabad of S. Jose, who graciously served the Jewish community and built up Judaism in the city for almost 20 years.

“Inspired by the Rebbe’s mission and vision, we are excited to have merited to become the Rebbe’s Shluchim,” the Weinfelds said. “With Hashem’s help, we hope to turn it into a rich Torah oasis, preparing it for the imminent arrival of Moshiach Tzidkeinu.”

The couple is one of 43 new Shluchim that California’s Head Shliach Rabbi Shlomo Cunin announced he will be appointing to communities throughout the state within the year of his passing of his son, Rabbi Tzemach Cunin OBM, the Shliach in Century City – Los Angeles.

The Weinfelds are running now a Charidy campaign to fundraise $36,000 to kick off their Shlichus. Please donate generously at www.Charidy.com/Shlichus
