Tracing Our Roots

Next week (from July 8th) the Rebbetzen and I will be travelling to Poland, Ukraine and Russia to trace our family roots, to visit the grave of our grandmother, oleho hashalom in the old Warsaw cemetery and the resting places of our Kedoshim, martyred during the Holocaust. We also wish to witness first-hand the renaissance of Jewish life in the former Soviet Union.
 
An important highlight of our tour will be visits to the resting places of the Baal Shem Tov and his successors - the leaders of the general Chassidic movement - and Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, the founder of Chabad Chassidism and his successors - five generations of the Rebbes of Chabad. Our Rabbis tell us that prayers at such holy places are particularly effective. Should anyone wish us to offer prayers on their behalves, or wish to write notes to be left at their graves, please forward to me at rabbi@me.com
 
I hope to blog a brief journal of our tour - details to follow. You may also want to follow me on FaceBook - http://www.facebook.com/mileckib
