U.S. Vice President JD Vance welcomed a delegation from the Chabad-Lubavitch movement at the co closing of the Living Legacy International Conference in Washington, DC, on Wednesday.

Vance hosted in his office in the White House 6 shluchim and supporters of American Friends of Lubavitch-Chabad, led by Rabbi Levi Shemtov, the senior Shliach in the capital.

Participating were Rabbi Zalman Levertov, Head Shliach of Arizona; Rabbi Yehuda Shemtov, Head Shliach of Bucks County, Pennsylvania; and Rabbi Avi Weinstein, COO, Chabad on Campus International.

Joining them were Eliyahu Kholodenko, CEO of Questrade, Canada’s leading online trading platform, and Mendel Rogatsky, CEO of Resolution, an advisory and management firm.

According to a participant, the meeting lasted almost an hour and was described as “important, substantive, and meaningful.”

The meeting was the final event of the conference held in preparation for Gimmel Tammuz, the yartzeit of the Rebbe. It focuses on his teachings and legacy, as well as the national and global efforts of Chabad-Lubavitch.
