Blessed as a Child, He Lived to Almost 104
In the summer of 1929, the Sixth Rebbe — Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, of righteous memory—blessed young Aviv Keller, then 10 years old, with long life. That blessing was fulfilled and last week—93 years after that event—he passed away, just weeks shy of his 104th birthday, on the Hebrew date of 24 Tevet, the anniversary of the passing of the Alter Rebbe, the founder of Chabad.
