“Role Models to the World”

Exclusive: Ms. Hillary Lewin, who spent 5 weeks at the Chabad House in Mumbai, spoke to COLlive about Gabi and Rivky Holtzberg HY"D - how they were her family abroad, mom and dad, friends and role models. How the Chabad Center was a rock in a city of chaos. How Rivky instinctively knew what everyone needed. And little Moishe - he was the star of the show. Full interview in Video

I feel that I missed the once lift time opportunity to meet in person this couple, but I am also sure that most of shluchim if not all of them are alike – May G-od keeps them safe and sound.

Hillary, your words were really tremendously powerful. This was your opportunity to make the Holtzbergs (HY”D) work mefarsem/known. By doing this, it is bringing Torah and Mitzvos to many people….which is continuing their work here. May they fight for us down here. Moshiach NOW, AD MOSSAI.

what a beautiful interview

Gabi and Rivky will be together with us sitting with the Rebbe at the head table of the Seudah shel Moshiach! And of course in between will be little Moishele and next to them will be Gabi and Rifkys parents.
Get ready everyone!! Moshiach will be here any second now!! Lets cash in on as much mitzvos as possible because after Moshiach comes, we can’t anymore!
Yechi Hamelech!
