Chabad Runner
AKA Ratz Chabad
Meet the “Ratz Chabad” Corps! Devoted young men, volunteering their time in Hevron, faithfully serving hot coffee, cold drinks, tefillin and a full dosage of Jewish humor to those faithfully serving the Jewish people and protecting the land.
Our Ratz Chabad teams, borrowing its name from the well known “Ratz Chamal” in the army, spend part of their time studying for Rabbinical Ordination with our very own Rabbi Itzik Neymark. The rest of the time - usually including the graveyard shift - they are out and about galavanting from base to base, patrol booth to watch tower, ensuring that our young men and women feel at home. Even in a place that can see so far.
Armed wIth hot chicken soup (for the body and soul) on a cold Friday night, an ice cold soda on a hot summer day, fresh coffee in the midst of a Hevron snow or even sweet and salty snacks during a day shift, our Ratz Chabad volunteers cultivate relationships and friendships with some of Israel’s best and brightest.
Quick visits often morph into longer visits, complete with Torah Study, Tefillin sessions and deep conversations about G-d, Torah, family, the news and sometimes, even sports.
