Dr. Yakov Yuro Teshima gave a informative and interesting lecture explaining the foundations of Judaism and establishment of Hassidism. All participants highly enjoyed the lecture and asked to continue such lectures even more often. Dr. Teshima shared pictures of himself at a Farbrengen (Hassidic get together) in Kfar Chabad Israel, fifty years ago. It is quite amazing to see his continued interest and vast knowledge and his passion to teach as well. Many of the guests have been to Chabad House many times but this gathering was truly an inspiration to all. The lecture ended with the Edery Boys Choir, singing songs related to this day of the redemption of the first Chabad Rebbe, Shneor Zalman who was released from prison on this day about two hundred years ago.
Special thanks to Dr. Teshima for his efforts and ongoing support toward Chabad House. May Hashem bless him and his wife with long life and good years.
