Videos from Rabbi Amar’s visit to the Bnei Menashe סרטונים מבקורו של הרב עמאר אצל בני מנשה
Israel’s Sephardic Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar, along with members of his staff, paid a special visit to Shavei Israel’s Absorption Center in Givat Haviva to congratulate the 274 Bnei Menashe immigrants from India who arrived in the Jewish state in recent months as part of a renewed wave of aliyah.
The meeting between the Bnei Menashe and the Chief Rabbi was by all accounts remarkable. You can almost feel the energy coming through the following videos, taken during the meeting.
