Chabad reaches out to Russian Jews on Chanukah
Acapacity crowd of more than 60 men and women listened attentively and nostalgically to Rabbi Yechezkcl Rappaport of Seattle Sunday, Nov. 25, at Chabad of Richmond. Rappaport, a native of Russia who is living in Seattle and working for Microsoft, is not your usual guest speaker.
His lectures in his native Russian bring back memories to the participants. Unable to study about their religion and heritage while they were in tha former Soviet Union, many thirst for information on Judaism. And Rappaport is a "homegrown" version of a rabbi.
Rappaport's lecture focused on Chanukah. Ho spoke of the history and the relevance of the festival. His special emphasis was that Chanukah was an excellent opportunity for families to link up with their traditions.
This outreach program by Lubavitch of Richmond was co-sponsored by the Jewish Family Service Agency. A special committee of local residents arranged all the details. Rabbi Yechiel Baitelman, director of Lubavitch in Richmond, paid special tribute to Semione Krivulin, Diana Pagalashvili. Inessa Rubin and Michael Soloveichik for the success of the evening.
Rappaport's lecture was the second in an ongoing series of outreach programs to reconnect Jews with their traditions. These programs arc directed to families and individuals with very little background in Judaism, and are open to all people in the community. This particular series of lectures is delivered in Russian, while other adult education programs, such as the Jewish Learning Institute, are presented in English.
For information on ongoing and special programs at the Chabad House of Richmond, call Baitelman at 604-277-6427.
