GAN CHAMESH PARENTS OF THE YEAR

THIS DINNER IS DEDICATED TO THE LOVING MEMORY OF THE LUBAVITCHER REBBE, OB”M

RABBI MENACHEM MENDEL SCHNEERSON The Rebbe revolutionized the global landscape through a singular vision of bringing G-D’s creation to perfection through goodness and kindness. Millions of people have been touched by his light and his love – directly or through the Shluchim, his personal emissaries who spread his message throughout the world.

Where others saw only darkness, he saw the point of light which could be nurtured and magnified. He inspired countless people to make tzadakah a daily way of life.

The Rebbe’s faith in each individual led him to recognize the potential for new and revitalized life where most had long given up hope. Against all odds, he relentlessly fanned the embers of Jewish observance in the Soviet Union during a half century of Communist oppression; the result of which is an unprecedented network of schools, synagogues, and mikvaot in the former USSR.

By making us active participants in the perfection of G-d’s world, the Rebbe has empowered us as only a parent can empower his children.

2 | INSPIRE 2018

The Rebbe’s legacy is that his Shluchim and the hundreds of thousands he touched throughout the world carry his message and extend his embrace to the farthest reaches.

May the Rebbe’s sacred and primary mission to help bring about this perfection and the ultimate final Redemption be realized speedily and in our days.

Dear Friends, Mazel Tov to our distinguished Guests of Honor: Mr. & Mrs. Jonathan & Marcy Farrell, Dr. & Dr. Aryé & Valerie Kremer, Mr. & Mrs. Marc & Natalie Sellouk, Mr. & Mrs. Ian & Sophie Glastein, and to all who are attending our Annual Dinner Celebration.

On behalf of the many who benefit from the warmth and joy of the Jean Fischman Chabad Center of the Five Towns, I wish to thank you for attending this momentous occasion, celebrating twenty

RABBI’S LETTER

three years of inspiring the community.

We pay tribute to our founder and leader, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, OB”M. The Rebbe’s selfless leadership and unconditional love for every Jew and every human being are the inspiration for all the activities at the Jean Fischman Chabad Center of the Five Towns, as well as at the 4,000 Chabad Centers that carry his timeless message to communities throughout the world.

As we gather here tonight, I take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the many people who have contributed in so many ways to make these twenty-three years incredibly successful and enjoyable. Each of you is an integral part of the amazing success of Chabad of the Five Towns. I thank you for your friendship in the past and ask for your continued and increased support in the future so that many more people, young and old, from all walks of life will be able to grow and flourish together through our Chabad Center – a home away from home for everyone who walks through its doors.

With esteem, friendship, blessing, and best wishes for a Happy Purim,

Rabbi Shneur Z. Wolowik DIRECTOR & SPIRITUAL LEADER
