Last year, history was made when a pair of Lubavitchers trekked for days on a dangerous and cold path to be the first ones to print Chabad’s foundational book, the Tanya, on Mount Everest.
Meir Alfasi of Rechovot, Israel, and Shmuly Levitin of Brooklyn’s Crown Heights climbed 17,598 feet to reach the Everest Base Camp in Nepal.
With no vehicle access to the rudimentary campsite, Alfasi and Levitin took with them 10 cans of tuna, Matzah, a package of paper and a printer.
This week, they released video footage of their 2-week adventure which was accompanied by two Sherpas (local inhabitants).
“The Lubavitcher Rebbe instructed us to print ‘The Tanya’ in every place where there are Jews, even if it’s only one Jew,” Alfasi, 30, told Israel Hayom newspaper.
These Lubavitchers ended up accomplishing what they set out to do: Printing the Tanya on the highest mountain in the world.

MOshiach is definitely closer!
Shmuly ! Great video editing! Good luck!
Speechless, Awesomely beautiful, majestic, unbelievable scenery. Possibly one of the most unlikely places on the planet earth to print a Tanya and hopefully one that will bring Moshiach very soon! Stunning accomplishment, Yasher Choach!
