Chabad in Israel
Chabad in Israel
Embark on a spiritual odyssey and trace the history, challenges and development of the Chabad Movement in Israel from its humble beginnings in Hevron’s “Avraham Avinu” neighborhood to the vibrant, country-wide network, centered today in Kfar Chabad.
Follow in the footsteps of Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneerson o.b.m. who journeyed to the Holy Land during the turbulent days of 1929 and learn the sichos of the Rabbeim revealing the hidden aspects of the holiness of Yerushalayim, the Beis HaMikdosh & Eretz Yisroel. Contemplate the modern history of Zionism and the State of Israel from a Chabad-perspective and encounter the leaders, generals, politicians and every-day folk whose lives and decisions have been impacted by Chabad and its emissaries.
