Leo rayfiel (the judge who gave the oath) was not a ny state supreme court judge, he was a federal judge in the us eastern district of ny
Thanks for sharing!
I heard directly from Rabbi Nissan Mindel, that the Rebbe and himself were the ones who arranged the filming of the ceremony of citizenship , by the request of the Frierdike Rebbe.
its amazing to get to see the Rebbe!
If you don’t know, don’t correct…
While color film was certainly unusual in 1949, this event was filmed in color.
Filmed originally in COLOR. (Two (still) photographers photographed in black and white.
Notice the red roses in the Rebbe’s tie.
i love at the end where you can see eastern parkway…gives me chills.
I think this film was originally done in black and white – it was re-done in computerized color only recently.
Even though color film was available starting in 1935 – I think this film was not done in color to begin with.
Amazing! that was Rabbi Nissan Mindel, standing near the Rebbe the whole time, and greeting out the officials to their car
Just amazing! priceless!.
I just couldn’t stop watching this.
It was so fantastic and made me cry.
Just lovely.
Thank you so much
Not just beautiful, but truly Kadosh Holy.
you can see the yiras hakovod the goverment officials showed towerd the Rabbeim
Wow, so beautiful. How fantastic to be able to see this. Thank you very much for airing it.
This is a great video. Looking forward to the DVD. I have the older tape version of this. One thing that I like about it. along with seeing the Rebbbeim, was how they also, within Torah, followed the laws inn the land they lived. The Rebbe Rayyatz became an American citizen, he didn’t sneak into the country and avoid taxes, etc… Truth and honesty in all things.
Did their car get A ticket?
This video is a real treasure!!!!!
This is truly priceless.
Still can’t believe such a special video exists. I could watch that video over and over again. Blown away and jaw dropping video. Probably my favorite video iv’e ever seen. Truly magnificent!
please post these geshmake things more…
Beautiful to see the respect paid to the Friediker Rebbe by the government delegation and his response. Great work JEM
Wow! This is so special! Thanks for sharing this with us.
