Weekly Summary – IllumiNations Issue 233

This week’s IllumiNations shares Part I of the story of Rabbi Moshe and Bracha Peles of Chabad of Ashkelon, Israel. Their shlichus is built on a true “open fridge door policy” — caring for every Jew physically and spiritually, with food support, Yom Tov meals, help for soldiers, and nonstop chessed during and after October 7th. Through fear, war, and uncertainty, Chabad of Ashkelon became a lifeline of warmth, unity, Torah, and practical help for the entire community.
