As Hungary prepares to mark Independence Day, Hungarian President Janos Ader has bestowed the �Order of Merit of the Republic of Hungary� on Chabad Shaliach HaRav Baruch Oberlander, the daily HaMevaser reports. Rabbi Oberlander serves as Gavaad of the Chabad kehila in that country.
The award is that nation�s highest, recognizing Rabbi Oberlander�s significant service to the community and the nation, a true Kiddush Hashem.
Rabbi Oberlander has been living in Hungary with his rebitzen Batsheva since 1989. He opened the first Chabad house in that country.
