Rabbi Yossi and Menucha Rachel Alperovitz have arrived in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine, to serve as shluchim alongside the city's existing Chabad representatives, under the direction of head shliach Rabbi Liron Edri.
The couple will work to expand Torah instruction, prayer services, Shabbos and holiday observances, and educational and community programming serving Jews across all age groups.
Local Jewish community members received the new shluchim positively, welcoming the enhanced programming and assistance they will provide. Community members expressed hopes for the Alperovitz family's success in their mission and anticipated continued strengthening of Jewish life in the city.
The posting reflects the broader expansion of the Rebbe's international shlichus network, which extends Jewish practice and community support to populations worldwide, including those facing substantial difficulties.
