The Moscow Jewish Community organizes fifty festival events for adults and children on the occasion of Russia’s Chief Rabbi Berel Lazar’s birthday.
Festival actions will be timed to Lazar’s birthday according to the Jewish calendar: this year it is June 8. As to the Gregorian calendar, Lazar celebrated his jubilee on May 19, when the Russian President and the Prime Minister also congratulated him.
All festival events will take place in the “Jewish triangle” – a district of Moscow between the Jewish museum, the educational center and the charity center in Maryina Roshcha in north-west of the capital.
Master classes for adults, training for children, presentations of the Jewish community’s new projects will be held all day long. Everyone can personally congratulate Rabbi Lazar during the party.

אין מקור מוסמך לחגוג יום הולדת, וקרוב לחקת הגוי אף פי חמישים כדי להגדיל הטראסק עם מלך פעוט’ן
Useful Idiot
He seems to be willfully ignoring everything Putin does, He whitewashed everything Putin did to the Ukraine, telling the world that according to the Jewish perspective, Putin is right.

Mokor musmach –
If his Rebbe made a big deal about celebrating a birthday in Yiddishkeit, I would expect him to do the same.
The Lubavitcher Rebbe also knew a lot more than me and you, especially before the fall of the iron curtain, how to approach and deal with the russian government for the benefit of the yidden there.
Wow, rashbi had to wait til he was dead for all this honor, and this man gets it while still alive.
To #1 who says there’s no makor for birthday parties:
