The Shloshim program will be addressed by Rabbi Avrohom Shemtov – Chairman of Agudas Chasidei Chabad, Rabbi Moshe Wolberg – Rosh Yeshiva Tomchei Temimim Kfar Chabad, Israel, Rabbi Moshe Shmuel Stern – Rosh Kollel Strikov, Israel and cousin of R’ Yisroel, Rabbi Lazer Gurkow – Shliach of the Rebbe to London, Ontario.
