On Monday, the My Encounter with the Rebbe interview team arrived in Montreal and has already captured the testimony of 5 individuals. The rigorous interview schedule includes 25 interviews to be conducted by two experienced interviewers over a 10-day period.
Most of the interviews will be conducted in private homes. But in a first of its kind experiment, on Sunday, January 23rd, the camera crew will set up a studio at the Montreal Torah Center. People from across the community are invited to stop in throughout the day to retell shorter experiences and encounters with the Rebbe.
If you or someone you know has an interesting story about the Rebbe, please email the My Encounter team at: [email protected] or call 347.450.1770.
At the end of the week, the My Encounter team plans on giving behind-the-scenes presentations to the girls of Bais Rivkah and to the boys of the Cheder. Details to follow.

Reb SImcha ZIrkind he has a YAM of old stories!!!!!
thank youso much for undertaking this HUGE project. it is trhe best gift we can give our chlidren.
Good choice for choosing Rabbi Plotkin, he keeps his audience on the edge of their seat with his stories….now, if only he will agree to fabrengen more often for the bochurim and girls…
A walking history book, No one comes close to his Knowledge, he really lives his stories, when he tells a story he makes you feel that you are there, you would think he was in atvoks
if you have money, give to this organization. every penny is well spent.
I can’t wait to hear Rabbi Plotkin tell stories of the Rebbe and talk about the ‘earlier years’. He has an unbelievable memory and makes everything become alive! Jem – you chose the best person to interview!

Rabbi and Rebbetzin Sapochinsky. It was great reading about you in the Mishpacha magazine a few weeks ago, and now JEM is doing an interview with you. I can’t wait to watch it. I am sure we will hear interesting stories about ‘way back when’.
