For the past 8 years, a group of Chabad chassidim from Australia has traveled to the Alter Rebbe’s Ohel and other historical sites of Lubavitch Chabad in the Former Soviet Union (FSU). The trip took place during the week of Chai Elul, with the climax of the trip visiting the Alter Rebbe and Besht on Chai Elul, the auspicious day of the birth of the ‘2 great lights’.
Shabbos Slichos in Medzibuz was an unforgettable experience, one that helped prepare everyone for the upcoming Days of Awe. One participant commented, “..after davening and pouring my heart out by the Rebbeim, I came to shul on Rosh Hashana and all the tears and hard work had ‘been done’… I was ready for Succos!”
This year, due to the situation we find ourselves, the trip has been postponed until next year.
“We decided to take Chasidim on a virtual tour to the FSU: meeting the shluchim there, visiting the holy sites, reading a Pan by the Ohel, getting a little taste of what life in the FSU is like, experience the Rebbe’s shlichus there and to show some appreciation for the ‘real’ soldiers on the ground,” the participants of the visit said.
“Let’s hope that next year we’ll all be in Yerushalayim, but if chas v’shalom not, see you in Medzibuz!”

Can it PLEASE be recorded ???
Sounds so amazing but timing won’t work for everyone
Can you please add our Rebbe’s Ohel as well in the list? Many of us would love to be with our Rebbe or at least to visit the Ohel on this very auspicious day of Chai Elul and cannot due to this terrible pandemic r”l!!! It goes without saying that all the above mentioned Tzaddikim are actually bepoal mamosh at the Ohel (as the Rebbe said regarding Lag B’omer the Rashbi himself is by the Ohel) and as the famous story with Reb Meir Shlomo sheyichye Junick who needed to go to Israel fo various reasons and didn’t want to… Read more »
