One of the most memorable videos that many of us have grown up with or shown to our children shortly after gimmel Tammuz to inculcate the Rebbe’s teachings and way of life was “I’m a Chosid” by Malka Touger.
Who can forget the powerful message in the Hashgocho Protis clip when a young boy in Crown Heights is taught by his teacher, Rabbi Baras, how to see the big picture of life, and then in turn he teaches it to a local African American policeman who is patrolling the street.
With some help from famous askan Johnny Hackner, the policeman learns the Hebrew words “Hashgoch Protis” and then startles crown Heights activist and celebrity, Benji Stock when he nonchalantly uses it in their conversation.
But the story doesn’t end there. Years later, the Hashgocho Protis story continues with an interesting twist of fate at the tragic 911 memorial site at ground zero.
