Prior to his trip to Israel, President Fernandez had welcomed at the Presidential Palace Rabbi Shimon Pelman, Chabad emissary to the DR. At the Palace, Pelman spoke about the mission of Chabad, its global network of embassy-like Chabad Houses, and the need to develop and grow in the DR.
Rabbi Pelman opened his Chabad center in Santo Domingo just under two years ago, serving an estimated 200 Jewish residents, as well as businessmen and tourists. The city's two largest hotels are nearby and Chabad's kosher catering service is busy.
Pelman and his wife Michal operate a kindergarten and Hebrew school, and lead adult Jewish education.
