The Journey to Becoming a Rabbi

Rabbi Shai Ammar recounts his journey from childhood in Israel to becoming a influential figure in the Golden Beach community. Initially aspiring to be a politician, he was disillusioned by the dishonesty prevalent in that realm and subsequently turned to business but found little success. His eventual commitment to Torah and Mitzvot, particularly at a young age, opened the door to a deeper understanding of self-transformation through spiritual work. It was his encounters with the Rebbe that provided the encouragement and inspiration he needed to fully embrace his purpose within the Chabad community.
