Uptown Chabad Gathers Over 60 Strong for Evening of Solidarity and Prayer
December 2023
By Rabbi Motti Groner
With a heartwarming display of unity and support, the Uptown Chabad community in Charlotte came together with over 60 young professionals on the evening of Oct. 11 for a special event dedicated to prayer and solidarity with Israel. Many pledged mitzvot for the safety and security of our fellow brothers and sisters in Israel.
This gathering was a powerful testament to the unwavering bond within the local young Jewish professional community and their profound connection to the people of Israel. It showcased the resilience and strength of the community as they united in spiritual devotion to express their solidarity during challenging times.
In addition to this event, the Uptown Chabad community extended their support for Israel by hosting a Friday night dinner in solidarity on October 13. Men wrapped tefillin before the start of Shabbat, and the women lit the Shabbat candles.
The Uptown Chabad's event served as a reminder of the enduring ties that bind Jewish communities around the world and their shared commitment to supporting one another. These events were imbued with meaning, reflection, and a profound sense of togetherness that deeply resonated within the hearts of those who participated.
In a world often marked by challenges and uncertainties, events like these serve as a source of inspiration, hope, and a reminder that the bonds of faith and unity are unbreakable.
