A night of Inspiration



In honor of the Yahrzeit of the Rebbe - Neshama – Chabad Lubavitch made a group trip to the Ohel – the Rebbe’s resting place.

Hundreds from many Chabad Houses in the tri-state area participated in this inspirational evening.

The program included dynamic speakers, sensational choir and delicious refreshments.

Following the program Rabbi Winner led a group into the Ohel for prayer, blessing and stirring spiritual moment – known in Chassidism as yechidut.
As customary one reads a note with their Jewish name and mothers name and includes all their requests and needs that the Rebbe beseech on their behalf on high.
