Exactly one week before the celebration of Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Schneersauen, father of the Lubavitcher Rebbe - next Wednesday, the 20th of Menachem-Av (17.8), in Kazakhstan preparations are being made with full vigor to welcome the multitudes of Chabadniks who will come from all over the world to visit the Zion, according to testimony - Many get to see him as salvation.
Rabbi Schneursauen was buried in Kazakhstan in 1944, after being sent into exile there by the communist government as punishment for spreading the Torah during his tenure as the rabbi of the city of Yekatrinolsev (now Dnipro).
After Corona gave a special and exceptional permit to Chabadniks to enter the country for the day of revelry, the government of Kazakhstan recently announced that Israelis who arrive in the country will not need a visa at all. Because of this, it is estimated that the number of arrivals will be the highest ever and at least a thousand Hasidic will come to the revelry in the largest Muslim country in the Artists from New York and Florida, as well as from the Holy Land and Europe.

Compassionate renovation in the complex
In the meantime, these days an extensive renovation was completed inside the Zion for the benefit of the many immigrants.
Among other things, a new air conditioning and heating system was installed, some of the stones in the outer wall that were affected by the extreme weather changes were repaired and arranged, and the roof and doors were replaced.
Renovations were also made in the area around Zion for the benefit of the priests coming for the day of rejoicing, as well as the raising of fences around the graves and general cleaning.
The project amounted to over 14 million tenge (the local currency) which is equivalent to approximately 31,500 dollars.
