NYC mayor, Eric Adams, says he is a believer in the power of the Rebbe’s blessings and praying at the Ohel. Ahead of the Rebbe’s yahrzeit, Adams visited the Ohel to ask for the Rebbe’s blessings. Afterwards, he sat down with Rabbi Shais Taub at the brand new SoulWords studios just half a block away.
In the course of an hour long conversation which will soon be released as a podcast, Adams spoke about the importance of belief, and in particular about his own experience of the power of praying at the Ohel. He described how during his first bid for election he was down in the polls and received a call from Crown Heights activist Devorah Halberstam who advised him to go to the Rebbe’s Ohel.
”I wrote a letter. I tore it up. I put it in front of the grand Rebbe’s grave site. And you just started to see the changes in the polls,” recalls Adams.
In light of recent developments, many are now hoping that the mayor experience similar miracles again this election.

The Rebbe’s brachos. Thank you, Mayor Adams for believing in the Rebbe. May Hashem guide you in making New York a dwelling place for Hashem. As one of the 12 pesukim that Jewish children recite says ” V’zeh kall ha’Adam” that the purpose of Adam is to make a dwelling place for Hashem in the world.
