I am writing to you just hours after arriving back from Chabad's incredible Solidarity Mission to Israel. It has been an unbelievable 10 days of visiting our land and showing support to our brothers and sisters in Israel. Our tour guide, Yoni Berg, was outstanding, with a vast amount of knowledge, which truly surpassed our greatest expectations. We'd like to thank Danny Krandsdorf and the staff at Heartland Tours for always being there throughout the mission and making special efforts to ensure that all were satisfied all the time.
Some of the highlights of our trip included praying at Kever Rochel, visiting Chevron, going back in time – crawling through the Western Wall tunnels, sharing gifts with Israeli solders at the Lebanon border, visiting the magnificent Tunisian shul in Akko, and our farewell dinner where everyone expressed their feelings on their visit to Israel. All in all, it has truly been a physically and spiritually rejuvenating experience for all of us. Photos of our trip will be posted on our website shortly.
Best wishes for a Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Zalman Wolowik
