For the 22nd consecutive summer more than 100 senior Rabbinical students of the Lubavitcher Yeshiva in New York will visit hundreds of Jewish communities in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Latin America, to bring the message to Jews that Torah-true Judaism should be their way of life. This “Jewish Peace Corps,” created by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson. is designed to reach out to seemingly isolated Jewish communities and individuals, to offer them some insight into their heritage.
