Yad L’Achim celebrated the publication this week of a special edition of the Tanya, translated into Arabic. Work on the text, known as the “Yad L’Achim Edition,” began on Elul 24,  5781, the 10^th yahrtzeit of Hagaon Harav Shalom Duber Lifschitz, zt”l, who founded the organization and led it for 60 years. The Yad L’Achim Edition has two volumes – the regular Tanya, in Hebrew, and “Sha’ar Hayichud v’haEmunah” in Arabic. The latter volume was edited by Dr. Yechezekl Ben Aharon who is involved in Yad L’Achim operations among Jews living in Arab countries • Full Story

Rabbi Mendel Belhamou, Shliach in Ambergris Cay on the majestic Caribbean coast of the beautiful Central American country of Belize, conducted the printing of Tanya last night, 24 Teves, in honor of the Alter Rebbe’s yartzeit. The printing was followed by a special farbrengen in the Chabad House with members of the local community. The occasion was a double celebration, as 24 Teves is Rabbi Belhamou’s 30th birthday. The printing was organized by Rabbi Eliyahu Ezagui, who previously traveled to the country • Photos
