Rabbi Albukerk is the most generous and modest person I know. He has given of himself selflessly all these years purely working for the intention of shlichus. Blessed with his creativity and persevering, he has gifted shluchim around the world tools and techniques of how to teach children about the yomim tovim in such an engaging and hands on way. May he have much hatzlacha in his work!! I can assure you that your money will be going to an amazing cause.

30 years of commitment

Michoel is a special person. He is able to reach out to all Jewish schools even non frum schools to teach about Hashem, the Mitzvot, and moshiach. Keep up your great work.

Hatzlacha!
August 27, 2019 3:56 pm

R’ Michoel is a true Chossid who lives and breathes the Rebbe’s work, day in and day out, never asking anything for himself.

Keep up the good work!

A Lubavitch Gem!

I personally watched some of the workshops and I was always amazed of how they perform and the great impact they have on children.
They deserve to be helped to find a new home to continue their incredible work.
Yashach Koach!

Pure Hafatza.
A great cause, and something that for sure directly impacted thousands of kids. I was a presenter for a few years, and saw first hand the positive “Yiddishe” impression it had on thousands of kids.

Gd Bless Michoel

Amazing work!
August 27, 2019 4:14 pm

This is mesiras nefesh work you do day in and day out, it’s a must to raise the money and get a new home for these projects, it’s life changing for the kids. Keep up your holy work!

Service to many communities!!!
August 27, 2019 4:27 pm

Beautiful!!! From strength to strength. Both kids and adults really enjoy it and it makes such a long lasting impression when a child brings his own shofar home.

Educating Our Chidlren

My son participated in the Shofar workshop with his friends and had an amazing time. Till today he uses the shofar to blow the shofar during Elul. Michoel put his life into educating the children. Dovid

The inventor behind all the jewish workshops

Michael Is a man of action. he has taken mivtzoim to a whole new level with all the wonderful mitzvah workshops He has been doing shows for all jews with all types of background, from not affiliated all the way to chassidishe kids in Williamsburg. It’s unbelievable what he accomplished and on top of it all with a smile! In the Zchus of doing the Rebbe’s work you should be blessed with all the blessings Amen! PS. I heard that a few summers ago he gave a Shiur – Class in the bungalow on Shofar, for A Chassidishe crowd With… Read more »

Michoel Albukrek A hidden treasure!
August 27, 2019 5:36 pm

When I worked for Tzivos Hashem, Michoel stood out as a completely committed soldier. Michoel has a level of dedication to the Rebbe and the mission of Tzivos Hashem that can only be described as Mesiros nefesh bpoel over many years. I never told him this as he is the last person that wants any attention or praise. To me he is an inspiration and indeed an ideal of how to be committed to the Rebbe’s work. Michoel lives with the conviction that every Jewish child is precious. To inspire them to grow in their yiddishkeit is his greatest pleasure.… Read more »

Opportunity for Good
August 27, 2019 8:56 pm

I grew up with Tzivos Hashem menorahs and shofars and I love the organization’s peerless style, approach, and quality.
I haven’t seen a group in America that reaches out and touches the minds and hearts of young Jews the way they do.
Tzivos Hashem Workshops is definitely worthy of support on their mission to build better edjucated Jews.

The incredible michoel
August 27, 2019 10:07 pm

Michoel Bracha vhatzlacha
The children live with the shofar and menorah that they made themselves
The mitzvah comes to life
Hashem should give you all that is needed to keep the projects going

The incredible michoel
August 27, 2019 10:11 pm

Bracha vhatzlacha
The children live with these projects
The shofar and menorah that they made themselves brings a special life to these mitzvos
Hashem should give you everything needed to be able to continue this holy work

Shofar maker
August 27, 2019 10:32 pm

I still use my shofar that I made when I was 11 years old. I bring it to shul and everyone asked where I got it and I answer that “I made it!”
Thank you.

Please continue the good work!
August 27, 2019 10:40 pm

Wow I hope you get another place soon! I love seeing the work that Tzivos Hashem Workshops does!

It’s the real thing!

Tremendous Mivtzoim
August 27, 2019 11:09 pm

One really needs to experience the workshops to grasp the magnitude of what Tzivos Hashem Craft Workshops is all about. Groups of participants (from preschoolers to senior citizens) learn about the upcoming Yom Tov, while crafting what’s needed for the Yom Tov (e.g. Shofar for Rosh Hashanah and olive oil for Chanukah). This process can repeat itself 100 times in a single season (e.g. during the month of Elul – before Rosh Hashanah). The sheer amount of Mivtzoim that the workshops accomplish is astounding. The workshops reach Yidden of all stripes and of varying degrees of knowledge and observance of… Read more »

Judaism being kept alive
August 28, 2019 12:00 am

As a team member of Tzivos Hashem Craft workshops, I want to add that Michoel’s unique approach, of constantly finding creative ways to present these basics in Yidishkeit to Jewish children from all backgrounds – is truly inspiring. I’ve seen many Shluchim which tried to emulate him yet want to or need to cut corners, and it’s just not the same. At his presentations, even the adults are wowed, and regardless of their level of observance – they ALWAYS learn something new! Michoel is one of a kind, and it would be amazing to help him keep his great work… Read more »

This is some of the coolest and most creative educational methods of giving a good education of Torah and Mitzvos to Jewish kids.

Michoel, you are an inspiration to all of us, you never lost your youthful spirit, You should continue from strength to strength מתוך הרחבה בגשמיות
You make the Rebbe very proud

Don’t forget staffweek!
August 28, 2019 1:15 am

I want to echo all the comments about how great a cause this is and encourage everyone to donate via PayPal.me/Jewishchildren. As a former talmid of R’ Michoel trained by him in multiple workshops I witnessed first hand how he not only brought Yiddishkeit and Chassidus alive via his trailblazing approach to Jewish education, he broke through all barriers of so called Jewish denominations as he was welcomed everywhere and made a big kiddush Lubavitch. Not only do many Shluchim owe him for all the effective mivtzoim tools he pioneered, but don’t forget that R’Michoel pioneered Staff Week to train… Read more »

I had a great time taking my little ones there. They enjoyed all the activities and made things to take home that remind them of their yiddishkeit. I was impressed, thanks

Wishing you much success

So many bochurim who have gone on to marry and be sent on Shlichus got a chance with R’ Michael Albukerk. Be it workshops, staffweek, Jamborees, etc.

I plan to give (back).

If you have one of those wooden Rambam menorahs at home, regardless if you live in Crown Heights or anywhere in the world – you have been positively affected by his handy work.

Give as well – be it monetarily or with connections to property, short-term or long.

Thanks and lechaim!
