Hundreds of Chabad Chassidim from across the globe gathered Wednesday night in the elegant ballroom of Almaty\u2019s central hotel, near the resting place of the revered Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Schneerson OBM, father of the Rebbe, for the central Farbrengen marking his yahrzeit on 20 Av.<\/p>\n\n

Hundreds of Chabad Chassidim from across the globe gathered Wednesday night in the elegant ballroom of Almaty\u2019s central hotel, near the resting place of the revered Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Schneerson OBM, father of the Rebbe, for the central Farbrengen marking his yahrzeit on 20 Av.<\/p>\n\n

Around beautifully set tables laden with an abundance of food, participants enjoyed an uplifting and spirited evening following the reading of the Pan Kloli (general letter) at the holy resting place, led by Florida Head Shliach Rabbi Bentzion Korf, who continues the work of his late father.<\/p>\n\n

The Farbrengen was chaired by the Rebbe\u2019s Shliach to Istanbul, Rabbi Mendy Chitrik, who opened with heartfelt words describing the greatness of the Rebbe\u2019s father. Rabbi Korf was then called to recite the Rebbe\u2019s and Rebbetzin\u2019s chapters of Tehillim, followed by welcoming remarks from the Rebbe\u2019s Shliach to Kazakhstan, Rabbi Yeshaya Cohen. Rabbi Cohen spoke with deep emotion about the unprecedented gathering of Chassidim in Almaty\u2014something unimaginable in the past\u2014and warmly thanked philanthropist R\u2019 Avi Shaulson and the dedicated Chassidic team behind the international production, who have been supporting this annual event for a decade.<\/p>\n\n

After special video presentations of the Rebbe speaking about his father and soulful melodies led by R\u2019 Efraim Zucker, the keynote address was delivered by the renowned lecturer and Shliach Rabbi Shneor Ashkenazi. He spoke of the \u201c20 Av Revolution\u201d\u2014how, despite the pain of the Rebbe\u2019s father\u2019s resting place being in a distant and foreign land, from that very place emerged the monumental revolution of the Seventh Generation under the Rebbe\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n\n

The event concluded with words from philanthropist R\u2019 Avi Shaulson, who reflected on the life and legacy of the Rebbe\u2019s father, the global impact of his teachings, and the tremendous joy that Chassidim from all over the world can gather each year in Almaty to learn his Torah, be inspired by his example, and deepen their connection to his story in the very city where he rests.<\/p>\n\n
