A JEM video of thousands of children receiving dollars from the Rebbe is being shared on social media, causing great excitement among the alumni of Bais Rivkah School.
The video shows children from various schools, including Bais Rivkah, walking past the Rebbe to receive a dollar, from Thursday, 11 Tishrei in 5752 – 1991.
A journal entry by Mordechai Yehoshua Jakubowitz relates what occurred that day:
“After Shacharis, Rabbi Leibel Groner, the Rebbe’s secretary, announced that the Rebbe said he will distribute dollars to girls and boys under bar and bas mitzvah, before the Rebbe goes to the Ohel.
The Rebbe came out at 2:12 and distributed dollars until 3:30.
Several thousand students received a dollar and a blessing for a Shana Tova.”
A second video shows that as the Rebbe left to the Ohel, children who had still not received a dollar were waiting outside. A shtender was brought outside, and the Rebbe continued distributing dollars outside to some more students. The Rebbe then left to the Ohel.
Bais Rivkah alumni on social media are buzzing with excitement as they find clips of that precious moment with the Rebbe of themselves, their family members and friends.
