Last week, a group of Rabbis from the French military chaplaincy visited the Rabbinical army base in Baratz-779, Tzrifin. During their visit, they met with many Chabad Chassidim currently serving at the base.

There are a total of eight Chabad soldiers, serving as sofrim and in the adjutant’s office. Farbrengens are held at the base regularly. After the High Holy Days, a special sofrus course is to open in Tzrifin for soldiers who have completed their training and wish to serve as sofrim in the army.
