About the shlichus of Rabbi Dovid (Dudu) Lider, director of the Chabad House for Israeli tourists in Melbourne. He tells about the shluchim in the early years who were guided closely by the Rebbe. He himself went on shlichus in 5764. * Within a short time he was able to double and then triple their activities and now he is about to complete a new, three story building. * The story of a shliach with incredible stories to share, whose shlichus exemplifies “chai v’kayam”

For many years, Jewish tourists who went to the tiny island called Isla Mujeres in northern Mexico were surprised to find out that this popular tourist spot did not have a Chabad presence. * Not any longer.

Beis Moshiach spoke with the shliach to Rutgers University in New Jersey, R’ Yosef Tzvi Carlebach, who runs a Chabad empire with a multi-million dollar annual budget, wanting to hear the secret of how to fundraise. * What is the best way to connect with wealthy people? * What do you do when the rich man tells his security guards to throw you out of his office? * How do wealthy donors react to the Besuras HaGeula and how should a shliach react when he is threatened that a large donation will be retracted because of publicizing the identity of Moshiach?
