In honor of 30th Gimmel Tammuz, the Shluchim in Queens arranged a visit to the Ohel for the Borough President Donovan Richards Junior.
Mr. Richards displayed a deep respect for the Rebbe by writing a Pan and reciting Tehilim at the Ohel.
The BP lives a few blocks from the Ohel and he represented the community when he was a NYC Councilman.
He has a history of being very helpful to the Ohel and developed a peaceful rapport between the administration of the Ohel and the local community members. He commented how privileged he feels every morning when he wakes up and realizes his close proximity to this Holy place.
The BP also proclaimed Education and Sharing Day in honor of the Rebbe, with a proclamation presented to the Queens Shluchim at the Ohel.
The Shluchim presented the BP with a gift, the best selling book “Rebbe” by Joseph Telushkin.
Upon receiving it, the BP said “he can’t wait to read it.”
His visit was a great Kiddush Hashem and Kiddush Shem Lubavitch.
He pledged to continue doing everything in his power to help the Jewish community and fight antisemitism.
