Standing in a sukkah, Lubavitch activists gifted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a lulav and esrog for Sukkos on Sunday.
Meeting him were Zalman Wolf of Nachlas Har Chabad in Kiryat Malachi; Nachman Reichman, Chairman of Vaad Kfar Chabad; Rabbi Meni Even-Israel, Executive Director of the Steinsaltz Center and others.
Netanyahu received the set and a copy of the Sukkos edition of the Kfar Chabad magazine. Upon seeing the photo of the Rebbe on the cover, he commented: “I have been to the Rebbe on Simchas Torah, 2 days after he held the lulav and esrog.”
His wife Sara Netanyahu proudly noted that “Bibi has the most ‘Rebbe time’,” alluding to his meetings with the Rebbe as he served as Israel’s Ambassador to Washington, DC.
Netanyahu will be heading to New York on Chol Hamoed Sukkos where he will be attending and speaking at the General Assembly of the United Nations.
Netanyahu is set to meet President Donald Trump at a time when relations between U.S. and Israel are considered at its best.
The meeting comes in light of a number of unprecedented steps the Trump administration has taken against the Palestinian Authority, the AP reported.
