Frierdiker Rebbe Thanks America
Upon becoming a U.S. citizen in 1949, the Frierdiker Rebbe had a few words for "the U.S. government headed by the president." Video

True, it was the Rebbe Rayatz who stated that “America iz nisht anderish”, but he also considered becoming a U.S. citizen an important enough event to put on “bigdei shabbos” for. We have to learn to appreciate what we have here, while still upholding the values our Rebbeim taught us.

In my 25+ years being involved in the Lubavitcher movement, I have never seen a film of the der Freidicka Rebbe. This was incredible. Priceless.
Inspiring!
Any sound recordings of the Frierdiker Rebbe available?
Beautiful
So special!
And such beautiful quality for 1949!
It is really cool that we can see this on video!
