There are so many incredibly emotional and inspiring moments from the our Chabad on Campus International solidarity convention I experienced with my colleagues in our homeland, Israel.
One, in particular, stands out.
We sponsored a wonderful BBQ and concert by @ishayribo_official at an army base for IDF soldiers whose job is burial preparation for fallen soldiers.
While there, one of my colleagues noticed a young boy, about eight or nine years old, clinging to his mother. In an effort to cheer him up, my friend asked if he could dance with him. The mother reluctantly agreed.
My friend and colleague from Kentucky danced with the little boy, even lifting him onto his shoulders. After a few minutes, he brought the boy back to his mother, who was now sobbing profusely.
After several attempts to speak, she finally said,
"My son`s father and my dear husband was murdered on October 7th, and my boy hasn`t smiled or left my side since that day. Today he smiled while dancing with you when you had him on your shoulders. Thank you for reviving and bringing life back to my little boy Avi."

A few weeks ago I had a unique priviledge to go to Israel with over 170 Chabad on Campus Rebbetzins including, a few awesone sister in laws (including the lipskiers) to go visit our holy brothers and sisters in Israel and show our solidarity. Thank you @chabadoncampus it was remarkable trip! I thought we were come giving our brothers and sisters words of hope and encouragement but it was quite thd opposite from the injured soliders, nova festival survivors, Sderot police men, Rochel Hersh, the holy Mrs. Nachson, Kibbutz survivors and more! They each told us their stories of horror but with resilience and hope. They each told their miraculous and how in a world filled with dark they added their 🔥. As I return back to our weekly rallys outside our Chabad house, where the signs keep getting more horific, I remind myself and my kids now more then ever we need to be prouder and more resilient Jews. Am Yisroel Chai ✡️

Thank you @yadingellman for coming to Lehigh to tell your story of Oct 7. It was both very tragic and inspiring at the same time. Thank you for being a true hero saving and protecting our brothers and sisters in Israel and beyond. Am Yisroel Chai ✡️

Why are we here? Because we care. The values that lie at the heart of Chabad at Lehigh are embodied in Torah and Jewish tradition. They include:
