The 11 Nissan farbrengen of 1981 marked the occasion of the Rebbe’s 79th birthday. At that farbrengen, the Rebbe addressed the recent assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan and spoke about how proper education can protect society from further violence.
The Rebbe also speaks about the importance of energy independence and developing alternative sources of fuel.
The satellite feed of the entire event, which occurred at the time through the hard work and foresight of Jewish Educational Media’s founder Rabbi Hillel Dovid Krinsky, was recorded live. The original broadcast, which was a huge and innovative undertaking was funded by Count and Countess Maklouf Elkaim. Now, decades later, as 11 Nissan approaches, tens of thousands of Jews are re-watching, or watching for the first time, these precious moments. The DVD of the entire farbrengen is available directly from JEM’s Farbrengen Club.
The Farbrengen series was been made possible through a generous grant from Ben and Rochel Federman.
A one-hour edited version that includes the above mentioned two sichos is available to watch on Chabad.org’s video site Jewish.TV.
the rebbe [-in this sicha], mentions hearing the sicha in other locations, not seeing.
