Baruch Thaler is not in this picture… The tall kid in red shirt is Yossi Mintz (Aspen). The kid in dark red shirt below him with hand in mouth (next to Yossi Stern) seems to be Berel Levertov (Santa Fe). 3 Friedmans in the picture. Most likely this was a children’s rally, led by R. Yosef Goldstein (Uncle Yossi). In those days, he would start the rally in the back (from the bimah below the colored windows), & then when the Rebbe would come in for Minchah, the focus would be to the front. Sometimes there were rallies in the… Read more »

The one on the right bottom is Nota Levertov now shliach in Aubervillier France. The tall one in the red shirt is not his brother, Berel Levertov. Not sure who it is.

the boy in back of the boy in the red shirt (to his left) looks like Menasha Friedman. to Menashe’s left, and down a drop looks like his brother Avraham Abba.

The one in the red shirt standing taller than the rest, looks like Rabbi Berel Levertov, The Rebbe’s Shliach in New Mexico. To the right in a horizontally striped shirt and light blue jacket looks like Raskin (Fish store). Just beneath him, to the very right, might be a Kievman. At the very bottom to the right (a bit fuzzy) looks like another Levertov (France).
