Chabad of Israel has announced a new initiative—Chabad for English Speakers of Israel—under the direction of Rabbi Mendel and Itty Wuensch of Bal Harbor, Florida, now based in Netanya. The Wuensches made aliyah to launch this shlichut, as Jews flock to Israel in unprecedented numbers.
Operating under the auspices of Rabbi Naftali Lipskar and the national Chabad organization (Tzach), this division will support English-speaking olim across the country while building on the amazing work already being done by English-speaking shluchim throughout Israel.
The initiative’s "Action Starter Plan" includes: creating local and national WhatsApp/email forums for events and learning; personally welcoming new olim and connecting them with Chabad resources; offering JLI courses and subsidized Shabbatons; providing mental health and assimilation support; designing culturally relevant literature.
With the guidance of the Rebbe’s vision, Chabad for English Speakers of Israel is bringing community, continuity, and confidence to the hearts of olim—one soul at a time.
