Lubavitch shlichim from the United States, Canada and Israel gathered at the Lubavitch World Headquarters in Brooklyn during Chol Hamoed Pesach (the intermediate days) to discuss their experiences and share individual ideas, especially for the Mitzvah Campaign. The conference was sponsored by the Lubavitch Youth Organization.
Rabbi Israel Glitzenstein reported on his experiences in Eilat where he was sent six months ago by the Lubavitcher Rebbe Menachem M. Schneerson. He said he had succeeded in bringing the “light” of the Sabbath Torah and Judaism into hundreds of homes in that area which he said was located not only in a physical but also a spiritual desert. Rabbi Glitzenstein said that more young schlichim will settle in Eilat in the near future and plans are in motion to establish a Chabad-Lubavitch Center in that city.
