a chassidic rabbi in colombo

mendy crombie is a young chassidic rabbi from the lubavitch movement who moved to sri lanka five years ago, certificating kosher food as well as locating and converting local jews back to the path of judaism. the vienna based author and essayist doron rabinovici interviewed the rabbi a few days ago and asked me to document the meeting. it again showed me how complex and intertwined the world is. traveling to colombo and photographing a rabbi who worships the ideas of lubavitch is quite a surprise... click here for more information on this movement.
