Crown Heights residents set out this morning to fulfill the custom of Biur Chometz – the burning of the leavened bread before Passover. As in previous years, an area in front of 770 was designated as the main location for this purpose.
Custodians of 770 were hard at work Erev Pesach cleaning the Shul and polishing its every surface.
Mrs. Chana Lipsker, an educator in Beis Rivkah of Crown Heights, relates a story of her miraculous birth which saved her mothers life.
In this weeks letter, presented in honor of Shabbos Pesach, The Rebbe responds to one suggesting that when two people have good feelings towards one another – why the need for formal marriage and “legal agreement” – where the Rebbe clarifies the misconception of marriage as a mere “legal contract”. It is the sanctity of married life which played a large role in our survival of the Egyptian enslavement. The letter, written originally in English, is from the archives of the Rebbe’s trusted secretary Rabbi Nissan Mindel.
