Whoever made that plaque “Reb Avraham’s Gift to the Rebbe”
is very talented. Was it done by a professional or did one of his students do it?

I am also A Talmid of his very first Shiur ever, what a good person, all of his talmidim loved him as he did in return and thats the key to being a good teacher.
