The Central Gimmel Tammuz Farbrengen, organized by Agudas Chassidei Chabad International (Aguch), took place at Beis Rivkah on 470 Lefferts Avenue in Crown Heights on Thursday evening.
This annual Chassidic gathering commemorates the yartzeit of the Rebbe, replete with words of Torah and Chassidus, nigunim and inspiration to strengthen Chassidim and bochurim to follow the Rebbe’s teachings.
A distinguished lineup of esteemed speakers spoke:
Rabbi Avraham Shemtov, Chairman of Aguch and Head Shliach of Philadelphia and Washington, DC.
Rabbi Yisroel Shmotkin, Head Shliach of Wisconsin.
Rabbi Yosef Chaim Kantor, Head Shliach of Thailand.
Rabbi Mendel Kanelsky, Mashpia of the Chabad Yeshiva in Kiryat Gat, Israel.
Rabbi Mendel Kaplan, Director of Chabad at Flamingo in Toronto, Canada.
The farbrengen serves as a momentous occasion for Chabad Chassidim and bochurim to come together and reinforce their commitment to the Rebbe’s vision.
Following the formal program, less formal Farbrengens took place throughout the night with Rabbi Shlomo Kaplan, Rabbi Shlomo Zarchi, Rabbi Yaakov Goldshmidt, Rabbi Yosef Martinez, and Rabbi Chaim Nissenbaum.
