Yeshivas Lubavitch Cincinnati, under the leadership of Rabbi Gershon Avtzon, held a special Kinus and Farbrengen in honor of the Yartzeit of its legendary Mashpia, Rabbi Zalman Baras A”H.
The entire Yeshiva, and local community members, came to Yeshiva and heard from Rabbi Gershon Avtzon and some of the Talmidim and alumni.
The keynote address was given by Dr. Lee Schonfeld, a local psychiatrist who was very touched by the life of Rabbi Baras.
Special videos were shown from the life of Rabbi Baras and a special Kuntres of the shiurim of Rabbi Baras – prepared by his family in NY – was printed and distributed to all participants.
A special new Chassidus library was inaugurated in the Yeshiva as well.
The next day the Talmidim heard a special Shiur from Rabbi Zushe Wilhelm of Crown Heights, who worked with Rabbi Zalman Baras in Oholei Torah. Many special hachlatos tovos were taken in the memory and in zechus of Rabbi Baras.
The event in Yeshiva coincided with the main event in New York, which was organized by the family. A replay of that event can be watched here.
