Niagara Falls, New York, a city known for its majestic waterfalls and breathtaking natural beauty, is about to experience a spiritual surge with the arrival of its new shluchim: Rabbi Yehuda and Yehudis Lorber who will serve the local Jewish community and visitors alike.
Rabbi Lorber and his family join the Regional Shluchim of Chabad Lubavitch of Western New York under head shliach Rabbi Nosson Gurary. ‘After several years of successful programs it was time to establish a permanent Chabad Center’ says Rabbi Lorber. With a special permit from Niagara Falls State Park the Mitzvah Tank has access to enter and operate right in the center of the tourist attraction. A unique Tanya was printed which drew hundreds of people.
Public Chanukah Menorahs are placed at the City Hall, Niagara Falls Airport, and at the Niagara Falls State Park. Last year during Sukkos for the first ever on the American side, a Public Sukkah was built right by the Falls. Another outstanding accomplishment is the city’s declaration of Education and Sharing Day honoring the Rebbe on his birthday signed by the Mayor, and the initiation of the Rebbe’s Moment of Silence program in the entire School District of the City of Niagara Falls.
