Ep. 62: The Rabbi Everyone Knows, From the Town Few Have Heard of

In Episode 62 of Lamplighters: Stories From Chabad Emissaries On The Jewish Frontier, reporter/producer Gary Waleik presents the story of Rabbi Dovid Eliezrie, shliach to Yorba Linda, California and a major player on the world scene on behalf of Chabad. Eliezrie’s approach to Jews all around the globe is influenced by an encounter he had with the Lubavitcher Rebbe when he was a young schoolboy visiting Crown Heights for the first time. 

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.
