It was a gathering to remember.
A full crowd of Chassidim and bochurim gathered at the main shul of Lubavitch World Headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights on Motzoei Shabbos, Chof Gimmel Adar II 5752.
The gathering followed the fateful day of the 27th of Adar I, 5752 (Monday, March 2, 1992), when the Rebbe suffered a disabling stroke while davening at the Ohel of the Frierdiker Rebbe in Queens.
At the gathering, the crowd recited Tehilim for the Rebbe’s health, as had been done for over a month in Chabad institutions and Jewish communities around the world.
Rabbi Leibel Altein, a choizer of the Rebbe’s teachings, emceed the gathering, during which the Aron Kodesh was opened and a heartfelt Psak Din signed by 100 Rabbonim was read.
Members of the Rebbe’s Mazkirus, Rabbi Leibel Groner, Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky, and Rabbi Binyomin Klein spoke with passion in regards to every Chosid’s responsibility to increase in Torah and Mitzvos for the Rebbe’s Refuah.
The crowd also heard from Crown Heights physician Dr. Eli Rosen who was part of the medical team that treated the Rebbe.
The Rebbe’s choizerim and Chabad Mashpiim Rabbi Yoel Kahn, Rabbi Shlomo Majeski, and Rabbi Nachman Schapiro spoke as well.
Before concluding, the Aron Kodesh was opened once more, and Shma Koleinu was said followed by the singing of Avinu Malkeinu.

I have seen two very Chasidihe Yidden, which were in a tremendous Machloikes for many years, Because of opposite Views in hiskashrus to the Rebbe, and when it came R”L Chof Zayin Oder, So in one minute they seated down together to talk like real brothers and real friends about anything under the son that’s only possible to do for the rebbe, and it was such a warm and friendly talk between them, that you couldn’t recognize at all, that there was ever any Machloikes Between them. So from this I learned 1) that both of them were beemes chasidishe… Read more »
On days like these it remindes is that such machloikes as we have been seeing.. are the final hurdle. Ad mosi!!!!!
Thank you COL for posting.
On such days, we need to see more footage like this, so especially us “post-gimmel-tammuz’ers” can get a proper feeling of then and thereby boost our hiskashrus now.
May we take all those words said on that day to heart and really work tirelessly until Moshiach comes when we will be reunited with the Rebbe!
Halevai we would of understood the message Chof Ches Nisson: The Warning about Chof Zayin Oder And Gimel Tamuz, and we would of screamed from The Etzem Hanefesh Mamosh – NO!! ALEIN KENEN MIR GORNISHT!! So chof zayin oder and gimel tamuz wouldn’t of ever happened. But now, the only thing is to bring moshiach as quick as only possible and even quicker…
Its too long its already 27 year’s ,MOSHIACH NOW!
