Speaking before a crowd of approximately 1,800 people in Buenos Aires, Milei joined the annual gathering marking the yahrzeit of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the revered leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement and one of the most influential Jewish figures of the modern era.
The Argentine president praised the values and teachings that have shaped Jewish communities around the world and expressed admiration for Chabad’s impact on society.
His appearance marked an unprecedented moment in Jewish history, as no other sitting non-Jewish world leader is known to have delivered an official tribute to the Rebbe at a major Chabad commemoration.
Attendees welcomed Milei’s participation with enthusiasm, viewing it as another sign of his growing friendship with the Jewish community and his support for Israel. Since taking office, Milei has repeatedly expressed solidarity with the Jewish people, strengthened diplomatic ties with Israel and publicly embraced Jewish traditions and values.
The event served not only as a remembrance of the Rebbe’s enduring legacy, but also as a powerful symbol of the close relationship developing between Argentina’s leadership and Jewish communities worldwide.
For many in attendance, seeing the president of Argentina stand alongside Chabad to honor one of Judaism’s most beloved leaders was a historic and emotional moment that few could have imagined just a few years ago.
