A fire destroyed a prayer hall and adjoining hospitality center at the holy resting place of the Alter Rebbe on the last night of Shabbos, one day after Tishah B'Av. The complex was entirely consumed, leaving only rubble.
Damage estimates reach into the millions of dollars. Despite the scale of the destruction, organizers have launched a campaign to rebuild the site with restored grandeur.
Donors' names and those of their loved ones will be remembered in prayers offered at both the Alter Rebbe's resting place and the Ohel of Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson. Contributions are tax-deductible under Israeli tax law. Donations can be made through bank transfer to the Lev Chabad account at Pagi Bank, branch 183, account number 845952, or via WhatsApp at +972 54-744-9770.
