The annual get-together of Chabad of Cyprus celebrated over 10 years of activity with Israeli tourists and backpackers that come to the island country in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea.
It was held this past Motzoei Shabbos in a warm Melave Malka atmosphere at the Gallery Palace hall in Chulon. The event was produced by Fleishman Productions.
Cyprus Shluchim Rabbi Zeev and Shaindel Raskin greeted the 500 guests and invited them to taste some of the many fruits that were presented in honor of Tu Bishvat.
“A tree is praised when it bears fruit,” noted Rabbi Raskin, in reference to the many that reconnected with their Jewish heritage at his Chabad Jewish Center in Larnaca.
Entertaining the crowd were comedian Sholom Assayag, singer Nemuel Harush and musician Leibale Lipskar with songs from the Chabad Cyprus Shabbos booklet.
Zevi, You always do things five-star! You have always been an inspiration! Much hatzlacha!
