Thousands Participate in Chabad Convention in Yad Eliyahu

  Some 8,000 Jews from all walks of life participated in a Chabad convention on Sunday evening at Heichal Nokia in Yad Eliyahu.

The event celebrated the 104th birthday of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, zt"l who passed away in 1990.

Refugees from the expulsion of Jewish communities of Gush Katif and northern Shomron were invited free of charge to the celebration.

Chabad Rabbi Gedalia Axelrod, head of the Haifa Beit Din, called upon the hareidi parties not to participate in any government coalition which intends to carry out Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's unilateral withdrawal plan.
