The Mishulovins are definitely sharing the “lovin” and their simcha with the Jews of the Bronx. Their ahavas yisrael is exemplary, and you can see the chinuch THEY received by seeing the special way they parent. Their children, albeit young, feel like (and are!) an integral part of their shlichus. As someone who went out on shlichus almost 25 years ago, I feel a sense of optimism and pride when I see this shining light of the next generation. If Moshiach shows up at Chabad South Bronx first, I wouldn’t be surprised!

Go Mishulovins!

the maamorim the frierdike Rebbe said in America were not necessarily deep concepts of chasidus, rather basic concepts that laymen cold understand even, if they didn’t have strong comprehension of Chabad Chassidic teachings.

Rabbi Yisroel Jacobson’s book Zikoren Levnei Yisroel he describes the chashuvai anash that lived in the Bronx and there was a vacuum in Brownsville of scholars when Rabbi Sharga Veiler moved from there to the Bronx where there were other chushvei anash, read this letter from FR addressed to Rabbi Veiler and the nusach ari shul in the Bronx. https://chabadlibrary.org/books/maharyatz/ig/14/5190.htm You have to remember we are talking about Russian immigrants that learnt in the chedarim in lubavich or and other yeshivas not necessarily their children who grew up in America. Rabbi Chaim Dalfin is coming out with a great book… Read more »

I love the Challa that Chana makes every week, and when Rabbi Choli sings his melodic tunes they bring me back to my bubbies home on Shabbat evening. The kids are great too, especially when they act in the holiday videos and sing Ma Nishtanah.

I grew up in the Bronx, but I don’t have such wonderful memories of it. My father was a kosher butcher in Pelham Pkwy. for a while. The neighborhoods I lived in were always changing. I could go on & on….. I can only wish bracha v’hatzlacha to the Mishulovins on their shlichus.

Hatzlacha raba to the most dedicated shluchim!

The Mishes!

The four Mish kids are the stars of the show but their mother and father are not too shabby, either! So proud of what Choli and Chana Mushka are accomplishing, one precious neshama at a time! They live, breathe, think and feel their Shlichus 24/7. I hope they accomplish their goal of raising the 60k+.

I ran the marathon for Friendship Circle and got a big shout out when I passed the marathon station. The runner at 1:23 is Kamal Julka. On the back of the cape she is wearing it says “I have Parkinsons and Epilepsy. If I can do it so can you”. Kamal competed the marathon. If she can do that you can do some sort of exercise for 20 minutes a day!

I really enjoy revisiting the stories of the bible I grew up learning in Hebrew School, and hearing with light of Bal Shem tov whom I knew very little about.
