Tanya In Antarctica

To #4

Former student of Beth Rivkah in Australia here. I believe there is actually a Tanya in Antarctica. Our non jewish PE teacher who loved Judaism and Chabad so much, and was at the school for over 20 years, placed a Tanya in the library in Antarctica while on a trip there some years ago.

This cruise was written up in either AMI or Mishpocha magazines. There were 51 religious Jews and about 90 non Jews on the cruise. They had Daf Yomi and a very fancy catering. It was an interesting article. There were all kinds of frum Jews on the cruise. Very interesting

AWESOME SHLUCHIM/OS!

Chabad of Tidewater is the BEST!! Rabbi AM & Rebbetzin R Margolin, Rabbi L& Rebbetzin R Brashevitzky, & Rabbi Z & Rebbetzin B Margolin – you changed the lives of my family and the lives of many many others. God bless you! Thank you Rabbi & Rebbetzin AM &R for leaving your comfort zone decades ago and moving here to start Chabad of Tidewater – that set somethign huge in motion. Your children follow in your great footsteps.

It is actually warmer now in most of Antarctica than it is in New York. It is summer there and temps are in the mid 30s.

Cool Photo!

Wondering if there has ever been a Tanya printed in that area yet? Perhaps if there’s no village it’s not necessary even possibly?

how neat!
