Chabad Lubavitch of Southwest Florida, led by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz and Mrs. Shani Silver, has announced the arrival of a new young couple, Rabbi Shalom and Devorie Katz, together with their 1.5-year-old daughter, Sheina, who will join as shluchim to serve the region�s expanding Israeli and broader Jewish community.

The announcement was made in connection with Gimmel Tamuz, the 31st yahrzeit of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, zt�l, a date marked worldwide to remember the Rebbe�s enduring legacy of Jewish outreach, chinuch, and community building.

�In light of the ongoing war in Eretz Yisroel, this is not merely a time of celebration, but one of mission,� said Rabbi Minkowicz. �Klal Yisroel in chutz la�aretz, and especially our Israeli brethren, need a strong and connected kehillah. The Katz family�s arrival is a fulfillment of the Rebbe�s hora�ah to reach every Yid with warmth, care, and ahavas Yisroel.�

The new shluchim will focus on developing programs, events, and resources geared specifically toward the Israeli population in Southwest Florida, reinforcing Chabad�s presence and impact in the area.
