Prime Minister Stephen Harper got a 50th birthday visit last week from a delegation representing the Canadian Federation of Chabad-Lubavitch after an appearance back in March at the newly-expanded Chabad center in northern Toronto's Thornhill suburb.
The April 30 meeting in Harper's Calgary office allowed Rabbi Chaim Mendelsohn, director of Ottowa's Chabad of Centrepointe, and Rabbi Mendel Kaplan, director of the expanded Chabad at Flamingo, to present the prime minister with a gold-embossed leather-bound prayer book.
Harper originally received the holy book in March as part of celebrations surrounding Chabad at Flamingo's expansion, but Kaplan noticed that its case needed to be fixed at the last minute.
