Wow!! I showed my אשת חיל these pictures, and we both agreed – next year we’re going to Switzerland for vacation too. Everyone – at least from the pictures – seems to be having such a great time.
Does anyone know which heter the Rebbe uses for leaving Eretz Yisrael? If this indeed an effort to raise funds for his institutions then perhaps it should not be reported as a “vacation”. I know that the vacation of gedolim and those of us regular folk are of a totally different nature but I don’t think the take away from this report should be “Well if the Rebbe goes to Switzerland then……”
CTRebbe, the rebbe places less significance on Israel than most reform rabbis. I just returned from a beautiful vacation in Jerusalem and the cities of many tannaim in northern Israel. on my next trip to Israel, I will stop in Switzerland, but for only 90 minutes. Hope I don’t encounter too many ex-Nazis.
