The Doors were never to be locked.

I’m the Marvin Goldsmith in the photo with Rabbi Cunin, et. al.
I acted as the pro-bono realtor and attorney for the UCLA Chabad House. I was with Rabbi Cunin at the presentation to the Rebbe at which time the Rebbe did not accept the key saying “The doors are never to be locked.”

Sorry

I wrote inaccurately in previous post. The story here show R’ Cunin opened this Chabad House in 1969, while R’ Tzik opened the Beis Chabad in 1974. Still some assert that the name “Beis Chabad” was first written in a letter to R’ Tzik. One way or another obviously these Shluchim have done incredible work in pioneering and breaking new ground for Chabad.

His Shlichus above all

Rabbi Cunin is a leader that has always put the goal of the shlichus above everything else.
May the Aibishter shower him and his Rebbetzen with gezunt, abundance of gelt and may we all greet the Rebbe MHM immediately.

wow
