Hundreds of Israelis gathered in the Chabad center in Tenafly, NJ, under the leadership of Rabbi Mordechai Shain, to spend Shavuos with Rabbi Yechezkel Soffer, renowned lecturer from Israel.
Rabbi Soffer spent the holiday lecturing and farbrenging with locals, the gathering going well into the night.
The Yitzchok Gershovitz, Shliach for Tenafly’s Israeli community and organizer of the event, said “One felt that it must be the time of Moshiach, seeing so many Israelis sitting and learning Torah with such enthusiasm until 2:00 am.”
One participant was so moved by the lecture that he later called Rabbi Gershovitz to relate that although he had demonstrated against religious Jews many times in the past, he now sees that his ideologies were mistaken.
Go Torahfly 🙂
got you!
