 An Evening of Tribute in honor of the Yahrzeit of the LUBAVITCHER REBBE Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson O.B.M. Tuesday, July 12th 7:15pm Chabad Lubavitch 1925 Kresson Road, Cherry Hill
Keynote speaker *Rabbi Marvin Tokayer served as United States Air Force Chaplain in Japan. Upon discharge he returned to Tokyo to serve for eight years as the rabbi for the Jewish Community of Japan. He wrote 20 books in Japanese, including several bestsellers; discovered literally the last of the Chinese Jews; located a long-lost Jewish cemetery in Nagasaki; contributed to the Encyclopedia Judaica; acted as a bridge for many travelers between East and West; served the needs of his congregation; and became spellbound by the threads of a story which he began piecing together. His investigation of the facts took him throughout Asia, to Israel and Washington D.C. as he searched for documents and tracked down the people, both Jewish and Japanese, who had taken part in the rescue of Jews from the Holocaust. |
