The hours leading into Yud Shevat – 60 Years found 1200 Temimim participating in a unique panel on years of the Rebbe’s leadership.
Followed by a Seder Limud that was attended by 700 Bochurim at Campus Chomesh in Crown Heights, a group of Chassidim explored the years and events by the Rebbe.
Rabbi Moshe Herson shared his recollections of the the period after the Frierdiker Rebbe’s histalkus and the Rebbe’s accepting the Nesius.
Rabbi Yosef Minkowitz shared his memories from the 5720’s. Rabbi Yossi Lew gave over a fascinating overview of the 5730’s and early 5740’s.
Rabbi Mendel Feller captivated the bochurim with his detailed description of the late 5740’s and early 5750’s.
Rabbi Leima Wilhelm spoke passionately about the importance of our Hiskashrus to the Rebbe today and explained how it is imperative to heed the Rebbe’s instructions and learn the Rebbe’s Torah.
Moderated by Rebbi Eliezer Zaklikovsky, the panel lasted for 2 hours followed by a 45 minute question and answer session where bochurim submitted their questions to the panel. A special memento was distributed to all participants – the new Kovetz Hashishim.
Later in the evening, a video of a Farbrengen with the Rebbe was shown in the Kollel.
Today, the Frierdiker Rebbe’s Yechidus room will be open for the bochurim for 40 minutes at 2:00PM.
The Rebbe’s house will be open for Mincha today at 3:15PM
There will also be a special tour of the Rebbe’s library and Frierdiker Rebbe’s apartment at 4:00PM

Have to agree with numbers 8 and 9 Rabbi Minkowitz was the greatest speaker ever.
I remember all those letters of the Rebbe that u taught us in school.
I have used the knowledge I gained from you many many times.
Thank you and much hatzlacha.
You should never give up on us-even if we don’t seem to be listening at the moment.
I am lucky to have had you as my principal and teacher.
May Hashem bentch you for all that efforts and devotion you have for the talmidos of Bais Rivkah Montreal-the best school!
I miss it-those were the days….
Thank you for instilling in us to be proud women, Yidden and Chassidim.
Rabbi Lew spoke about the Lamed’s, and he’s in a few of the pictures. He is also mentioned on COL in Hebrew. What happened to him here? – his fans from Atlanta
