It was always a treat when Rabbi Popack came to Florida to visit. B”H, his mind and sense of humor were unfailingly sharp. Boruch Dayan haEmes

There is most definitely a tape. And you could hear it. The Rebbe asking who wants to have the test of ashirus should raise their right hand. Please find out all the facts before publicly decrediting the story.

The Purim farbrengen 5717 absolutely happened with the Rebbe requesting those who were taking on themselves the nisayon of Ashirus. SB Drizin lifted his hand. Ask the chozrim, they remember

No, R' Hirsch Chitrik was NOT there in 5717!
May 30, 2012 3:33 pm

“When the Rebbe assumed leadership of Chabad-Lubavitch in 1951, Rabbi Hirsch Chitrik was the first to be sent out on Shlichus” 1951 = 5710 or 5711 depending on what time of the year he left. I knew him and know many of his descendants – someone would have told me had he been at that farbrengen. I still do not believe the farbrengen ever happened, and will not unless someone can provide a tape. These legends do no service to the Rebbe and they are best proven or disproven once and for all.

Drizin is true.
This was Farbrengen Purim 5717.
Chitrik A”H was not in Brazil yet, so it could be him.
I heard of SZ Gurary A”H. Anyone know more?

SB Drizin – yes, his name is always mentioned in connection with this story.
The third may have been Chaim Serebrianski, whose business did not see lasting success.

R’ Hershel Chitrik A”H was not there – he would have been in Brazil.

That is – if this really happened. I certainly never heard it from any reliable source, such as any of the Drizins whom I know.

He was a true Tzaddik, and a leibedik character all the days of his life. I am sure he will bring this energy with him in the world to come and we will merit to experience his amazing neshoma and personal aura in the times of Moshiach Tzidkeinu techef umiyad Mamosh!

Zaidy Popak z’l was full of chayus and simchas chayim, even in his very old age! He always managed to bring a smile with his humor, and he also showed great commitment to his Torah study. May he be a meilitz yosher above, and may we merit Moshiach already!
