The grave site of the founder of Chabad Chassidus and first Lubavitcher Rebbe in Ukraine is being repaired in time for the annual pilgrimage.
The Yartzeit of Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, best known for his Shulchan Aruch HaRav and Tanya compositions, will be this coming Monday.
In Haditch, a historic city in the Poltava province in the central-east part of Ukraine, preparations are underway to greet the hundreds of Chassidim who fly in from Israel and around the world.
Streets and paths leading to the grave site were repaired, additional prayer books were donated – many of them in Russian for the Ukrainian Jews who are expected to come.
A new heating system was installed in the Hachnosas Orchim guest building and warm drinks will be available as well. A Mikvah is on premises.
Rabbi Chaim Shalom Deitsch, Rosh Kollel Tzemach Tzedek in Jerusalem, will be holding a Farbrengen with the visitors. A special prayer for the success of the Shluchim in the former Soviet Union will be held too.
