“When two Jews\nmeet, it must necessarily result in something good for a third one”, used\nto teach Rebbe Shmuel of Lubavitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1947, in the\naftermath of the Second World War, Rabbi Yossef Itschak Schneersohn, the Lubavitcher\nRebbe, opened in Paris the headquarters of his overseas activities, with a\nsocial, educational and religious vocation, then covering Europe and North\nAfrica, and later Israel. He placed at its head one of his most illustrious Chassidim,\nRabbi Binyamin Gorodetsky, who immediately addressed the problems of refugee\nfamilies in Eastern Europe, then flocking to Displaced Persons camps. He\nsettled them in Paris and the Paris area, providing them with material and\nreligious well-being. In this post-war void, he gave a dazzling start to Jewish\ninstitutions, which were seriously lacking at the time, in the fields of\neducation, housing, assistance and employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This very dynamic\noffice undertook a series of effective actions for the rebirth of Jewish\ncommunities in France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rabbi Binyamin Gorodetsky\nhelped to finance many premises in Paris and Ile-de-France : these would very\nquickly become essential places of Jewish life for the whole community\n(schools, Talmud Torah, community activities).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This office, which\ninitiated the genesis of the Lubavitch movement in France, is still today, more\nthan ever, present on all fronts of Jewish life, discreetly but effectively\ncoordinating actions aimed in particular at Jewish communities far from large\nurban areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1992, the Rebbe\nsent the grandson, Rabbi Yossi Gorodetsky and his family, to head the European\nLubavitch Bureau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New projects in\nfavour of the Jewish communities of Ile-de-France and elsewhere are regularly\nlaunched, installing new emissaries throughout France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2009, Rav Yossi Gorodetsky set up a revolutionary project: Tefilin\nBank and Mezuza Bank. These two structures make it\npossible to offer these religious objects at reduced prices ; thus, more Jews\nwill be able to practice these Mitzvot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 72 years, thanks\nto this first meeting between a Rebbe and his devoted Chassid, hundreds of\nthousands of Jews have benefited, directly or indirectly, from the actions of\nthe European Loubavitch Bureau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
