A highlight was a two-day jaunt to Montevideo, Uruguay, where we eyeballed the inspirational work of Rabbi Leizer and Rochi Shemtov, living there for 23 years, their seven children all studying far away, including their youngest daughter who is 13. Who has heard of sacrifice like that? And why aren’t our children witnessing it?

that is why the global Jewish community requires a new organization, modeled on birthright israel, whose purpose will be to inspire young Jewish volunteers, 16 to 28, to spread out every summer to distant outposts like Chabad’s around the world and help the local rabbis and communal professionals.
