The town of Mammoth Lakes, CA was buried under a ten-foot snowstorm last Wednesday and Thursday.
Mammoth Lakes is a small remote town in California, with a population of a few thousand. The town is well equipped to deal with large amounts of snow, but this was out of the ordinary. People were stuck at home for days, and the highways were closed for hundreds of miles.
Last year, Rabbi Yisroel and Mushky Gordon moved out to Mammoth to serve the needs of Jews in the region, as well as tens of thousands of tourists who frequent the area.
At the height of the storm, they hosted a zoom event for 15 shvat, probably the first Chabad event ever to continue as planned in the midst of a major snowstorm.

Keeping on rocking your holy shlichus! Hashem should bless you with all you need!
This is an inspiring story of perseverance and the strong will of a shliach who doesn’t let obstacles or hindrances detract from his holy work!!! Keep zooming!
I was planning on cancelling my event but after seeing this inspiring story, I decided to continue as planned!
Thanks for the inspiration!
