On this day, 9 Adar II, in 1940, the previous Lubavitcher Rebbe stepped of the boat that took him from war-torn Europe onto the Piers of New York City and declared "America iz nisht andersh" (America is no different). Here too would a network of Yeshivos, Chadorim, Shuls and Chasidishe institutions be built, despite the overwhelming secularism of America'a Jewish population.

No matter how many times we view this most fascinating footage… it inspires and motivates anew.
A wonderful way to celebrate the special day of Tes Adar and renew our dedication to the Rebbe and our shlichus.
Thanks!

Does anyone have a picture of Hagoan Reb Laizer Silver who headed Agudas Harabonim (before Reb Moshe) came to greet the Rebbe as he entered the country and they walked hand in hand?
