The central Hei Teves farbrengen, organized by Agudas Chassidei Chabad International, took place Sunday at Campus Chomesh in Crown Heights with many Rabbonim, Shluchim and Mashpiim in attendance.
Speakers included Rabbi Avrohom Shemtov – Chairman of Agudas Chasidei Chabad, Rabbi Yoel Kahn, the head choizer of the Rebbe and Mashpia of 770, Crown Heights posek Rabbi Moshe Bogomilsky and Oholei Torah Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Yisroel Friedman.
Tevet 5 is celebrated as a day of rejoicing in the Chabad-Lubavitch community after the U.S. Federal Court ruled in 1987 that the priceless library of the 6th Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, belonged to the movement and not individuals.
The ruling, in favor of the umbrella organization Agudas Chassidei Chabad, was based on the idea that a Rebbe is not a private individual but a communal figure synonymous with the body of Chassidim.
The Rebbe urged that the occasion be marked with time devoted to study from Torah books (“sefarim”) as well as the acquisition of new Torah books, Chabad.org notes.
