Who would have ever imagined that a little city in Ukraine would have a shul with a minyan and daily kollel (yeshiva-style learning for married men), weekly classes for women and a beautiful mik- vah? But I will never forget the lesson I learned in that little government office: logic and reason cannot stand in the way of making the world a better place and bringing Moshiach. After serving as a rabbi in Los Angeles (where he was born in 1974,) and South Africa (where she was born) he moved to Ukraine to the city of Sumy to be the chief rabbi. (2) Each month, I go to the farm to watch the cows being milked so I can bring home fresh cholov yisroel (Jewish supervised) milk for my family. Not to go on shlichus because it makes sense, but because of shtus d’kedusha (‘holy craziness’), an unexplainable desire to brighten up the world for the better! And if this Ukrainian man, who was the janitor at the Ohel, could walk around proudly, saying that he works for the Lubavitcher Rebbe, where was my own pride? “You’re not Jewish, but you’re Chabad Lubavitch?” 1 Yechiel Slomo Levitansky lives at present in Sumy, Ukraine with his wife Rachel and their six children. And right then, in the “remote” town of Sumy, Ukraine, Hashem (G-d) showed me that he knew exactly where I was and that he was with me! From then on, all the farmers were eager to let me watch them milk their cows in the hopes that their cows might be blessed as well!
