Israel's Foreign Minister Takes Time With Chabad on His Birthday

(lubavitch.com) Israel’s foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman, met with U.S. envoy to the Middle East, George Mitchell, on Tuesday. It was also Lieberman's birthday, so despite his intense schedule, he took time out to visit with Chabad Rabbi Levy Edry, a personal friend, and ponder the spiritual meaning of a birthday.

Lieberman wrapped tefillin and accepted a leather bound chitas book embossed with his name, as a gift from the Chabad rabbi which will now remain in his office.
