Ep. 68: The Jewish Awakening of Vancouver Island

In Episode 68 of Lamplighters: Stories From Chabad Emissaries On The Jewish Frontier, reporter/producer Gary Waleik presents the story of Rabbi Meir and Rebbetzin Chani Kaplan, Chabad emissaries to Vancouver Island, British Columbia. They arrived 23 years ago to a region mostly bereft of Yiddishkeit, but have built their community and infrastructure in a stunning whirlwind of community commitment and involvement.   

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.
