Among Chassidim Podcast: The Gerrer Chossid Who the Rebbe Always Stopped For

In this episode, Rabbi Elimelech Neiman of Boro Park, an askan involved in many Jewish causes throughout the 1980s and ’90s, shares memories of his frequent encounters with the Rebbe. Whether at kos shel bracha, dollars, or lekach, the Rebbe would often engage him in conversation- particularly asking about the Gerrer Rebbe’s wellbeing, what was taking place in Ger, and various matters of askanus.

In this geshmake and fascinating conversation, Rabbi Neiman recalls the many kiruvim, brachos, and special moments he experienced over the years.

He also reflects on what this personal connection with the Rebbe meant to him then- and what it continues to mean to him today.
