A large and uplifting gathering was held this week in Paris, France, in honor of Yud Alef Nissan, marking the Rebbe’s birthday.

The event took place at the Beis Chaya Mushka school and drew a sizable crowd in a warm, Chassidic, and inspiring atmosphere.

Participants heard words of inspiration and encouragement from Rabbi Mendy Azimov of Paris and Rabbi Elchanan Marozov, who spoke about strengthening connection to the Rebbe and preparing spiritually for Pesach.

A mechiras chametz was also arranged on site, with Rabbi Levi Kahn assisting attendees in completing the sale ahead of the upcoming Yom Tov.

Organizers said the evening served as a meaningful opportunity to come together in unity and reflection, leaving participants with renewed energy to continue their efforts in spreading Yiddishkeit.

In conjunction with the occasion, Mitzvah Tanks set out across Paris and the greater Île-de-France region this Sunday. Led by Rabbi Shlomi Bensoussan, shliach in Courbevoie, the initiative marked the Rebbe’s 124th birthday by bringing mitzvah opportunities directly to the public.

The Mitzvah Tanks offered tefillin, distributed Shabbos candles and educational materials, and aimed to increase acts of goodness and kindness throughout the region.
