New Maamar Published in honor of Chof Daled Teves
In honor of the 200th Yohrtzeit of the Alter Rebbe on Chof Daled Teves, Kehot published a Maamar, which was compiled by Vaad Hanachos b’Lahak and was given over by the Frierdiker Rebbe on the eve of Chof Daled Teves in the Tzemach Tzedek Shul in Baltimore before a crowd of around 1,500 in the year 1930. Update: English translation of the Maamar added.
The Frierdiker Rebbe visited the United States on a tour to strengthen Yiddishkiet. He arrived in Elul 1929 and returned to Europe in Tammuz 1930 – ten years before arriving in the United States permanently after fleeing the Nazis during the holocaust.
In addition to the Maamar the Vaad included an Igros Kodesh of a letter that the Frierdiker Rebbe wrote describing the farbrengen.
Update: Noach Shavrick, a CrownHeights.info reader, sent us a translationg he made of the Maamar and told us “we live in Baltimore and my great grandfather was there when the Frierdiker Rebbe said the Maamar in 1930, we are 5 generations in Baltimore and Chabad.”

A big thanks to KEHOT for printing this.
Do the math......
“a crowd of around 1,500”
In the letter the Rebbe writes 800/900 men and around 400 women.

There is clearly an awakening in Baltimore learning this maamar fresh again.
