Ep. 57 // "Chassidim That Work" w/ Rabbi Rafi Tennenhaus

Rabbi Rafi Tennenhaus is a shliach in Hallandale Beach, Florida for more than four decades, where today he directs the activities of many Chabad Houses and an exploding local Lubavitch community.In this episode, we discuss his upbringing in Montreal and before that in a small Canadian town of Bathurst, New Brunswick, where his father, R' Dovid Tennenhaus, had moved years earlier to make a living.We hear about his father's story of individual religiosity in a far off town, his special relationship with both the Rebbe and the Friediker Rebbe, and his involvement in the beginnings of the Lubavitch community in Montreal.We also discuss Rafi's own journey as a bochur into his own and different relationship towards the Rebbe, and his reflections of how that continues to shape his approach to shlichus today.____Support this podcast at: https://www.hflpodcast.com/donate____This week's episode is brought to you by "This World Is A Garden," a new film and live concert production by Yuvla Media based on the Rebbe's first talk, Bosi Lgani.Combining beautiful cinematography with a live performance by a string quartet, this production is a meditation on hope and holding on to a vision even as time passes by.Now you can bring this groundbreaking experience of Bosi Lgani to your community.For more info please visit: https://www.yuvlamedia.com/thisworldi...____Homesick for Lubavitch is a project of Yuvla Media.Bentzi Avtzon is a filmmaker who specializes in telling the stories of thoughtful and heartfelt organizations.
