The Yomtov of Hei Teves was celebrated at the Rebbe’s Ohel in Queens on Wednesday evening, at an event which was also streamed live on COLive.com.

Two attorneys, Mr. Harvey Stone and Mr. Richard Dolan, who have worked on the Seforim Case as assistants to the lead lawyer, Mr. Nat Lewin, shared recollections at the farbrengen.

Mr. Stone and Mr. Dolan have been involved in preparing the Seforim case, and have also been involved in other legal work for Lubavitch, including regarding public Menorah lightings, in the context of which they merited to meet the Rebbe at Dollars.

Other speakers included Rabbi Sholom Ber Levitin, head Shliach of the State of Washington, who revealed heretofore unknown details of the involvement of the Shluchim at the time in the ongoing battle and victory of the Seforim. Rabbi Shmaya Shmotkin discussed the achrayus of each chosid to accomplish the Rebbe’s goals, and Rabbi Zalman Wolowik shared what it was like to experience the story of Hei Teves first-hand as a Bochur by the Rebbe at the time.
