Chabad Shluchim in Katmandu, Rabbi Chezki and Chani Lifshitz, are currently in Israel, guests of Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotevely. Hotevely has designated them ‘honorary citizens’ for their tireless efforts on behalf of the many Israeli trekkers who visit Nepal, adding they have become a “father and mother of the trekkers” as she put it.

Among the officials with whom they are meeting, they met with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who personally thanked them for their work as well as Chabad Shluchim around the world.
