She moved across the world to fulfill the Rebbe’s shlichus.
Now, she’s left to figure out the next steps alone.
Rabbi Zvi and Rivky Kogan began their shlichus in 2022. Shortly after getting married, they embarked on a 13-hour flight to Abu Dhabi, where they joined the efforts of Rabbi Levi Duchman, becoming an integral part of the growing Jewish community in the United Arab Emirates.
Together, they dedicated themselves to spreading the light of Torah and Yiddishkeit, hosting shiurim, Shabbos and Yomtov meals, and community events. Zvi focused on building the kosher infrastructure and managing Chabad house operations, while Rivky poured her heart into connecting with women through Challah bakes and monthly women’s programs.
On Wednesday evening, everything changed. Rabbi Zvi Kogan never returned home, leaving Rivky to navigate the devastating loss and uncertain path ahead.
Together, we can help her move forward.

Tragic events such as this only unites us and strengthens our commitment to always help eachother. Rabbi… Read more »
