Ep. 43: A Sub-Saharan Brit Milah

In Episode 43 of Lamplighters: Stories From Chabad Emissaries On The Jewish Frontier, reporter/producer Gary Waleik presents the story of Rabbi Moshe and Rebbetzin Yocheved Raskin, Chabad emissaries to Uganda. A few years ago, and with the unexpected help of a world traveler who’s also a mohel, the Raskins arranged for a bris for a baby boy whose mother wasn’t sure she wanted him to enter the covenant of Abraham.  

Lamplighters: Stories From Chabad Emissaries On The Jewish Frontier is producing a series of moving, beautifully produced, sound-rich and often surprising stories of Chabad shluchim and the people they inspire in every corner of the world.
