Due to His great kindness, we merited the merit of the marriage of our children, the groom Yankele and his bride, Frumie.

The secret minyan, kaparos, matza baking, and all matters of holiness were hosted in their home and yard. They continued their work once they reached Eretz Yisroel, where Reb Moshe did much for the good of the immigrants from the Soviet Union in general, and his brothers, the chassidim who lived in Nachalas Har Chabad, in particular. His wife, Mrs. Chaya Liba helped him in this, and would also host students from public schools for Shabbos and Yom Tov, as was done those years in Nachalas Har Chabad.

  • Vaad Hakohol of Crown Heights
    11 Reserve the Date: ELECTIONS -SSUNDAY, 2 IYAR, APRIL 30 VAAD HAKOHOL OF CROWN HEIGHTS What did the Rebbe mean when he said; “This is not Russia!”? () When the Vaad Hakohol announced that elections will be held for addi- tional Rabbomim we made it very clear that these elections will be open, honest and transparent. As the Rebbe said very clearly, “This is not Russia.” What worked in Russia will not work here in a democratic and open society. This means anyone is free to recommend qualified candidates for the Beis Din. It means legitimate elections that offer the voters real choices, not “yes or no” on a single unopposed candidate. It means engaging objective outside monitors to supervise the entire election process so that no one should have any doubts regarding the elections outcome. It means involving netzigim from a range of local shuls to act as observers and make sure nothing underhanded takes place. Reserve the Date: ELECTIONS -SSUNDAY, 2 IYAR, APRIL 30 22 Unfortunately the last election in 5763 failed to conform to even minimal standards of democratic process. To begin with, there was only a single candidate. This was the sort of practice the Rebbe was referring to as “This is not Russia!” Furthermore, the Vaad Hakohol at that time – with the signatures of Yaakov Herzog, Nochum Gross and Chanina Sperlin – wrote in their announcement of 9 Marcheshvon 5763 as follows: “...The Rebbe has instructed us that the appointment of Rabbonim should be through the participation of the entire Kehillah* by public mandate, therefore with the consent of Rabbi Avrohom Osdoba Shlita, we would like to inform you tht G-d willing elections will take place Sunday 21 of Marcheshvon 5763… “At this time you will have an opportunity to elect … Rabbi Yaakov Schwei, who currently is assisting the B”D in its many duties and is willing to serve as a full time Rov and Member of the B”D as necessary.
