More than 60 residents, visitors and French and American Jewish diplomats stationed in Reykjavik, Iceland attended seders led by Rabbis Berel and Naftoli Pewzner as part of the Merkos Shlichus “Roving Rabbis” program.
The world over, more than 50,000 Jews were able to join in Passover seders as Chabad-Lubavitch rabbinical students and young rabbis spread out to 82 countries to facilitate the seders as part of the Merkos Shlichus program under the direction of Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky, vice-chairman of Merkos L’Inyonei Chinuch, the educational arm of Chabad-Lubavitch.
“It was our fifth visit to Iceland as part of the program,” said Berel Pewzner. “In addition to two seders, we held a Shabbos reception, and paid home and work visits to distribute shmurah matzah to residents.”
“We touched base with more than 100 Jews during this visit,” he said.
I’ve been there twice and it was so fun! (a month after the big eruption) we also saw a volcano from the plane erupting smoke!
Go Berel!! No doubt you’ve done fantastic work!
Living example. Keep up the great work!
