Montreal, Canada — Hundreds of people gathered in order to escort R. Yitzchok HaKohen Hendel OBM on his final walk. Westbury Road was blocked and the crowd filled the hall of the yeshiva to listen to words from Rabonim and Family.

Hershel Raskin a grandson got up and told a few stories following which a son in law Rabbi Chaim Shlomo Cohen got up and announced that being that a rabbis son gets the Yerusha of taking over the Rabonus position their father held, they the 2 sons have given it over to Rabbi Berel Bell, Rabbi Moshe Aharon Shtern and Rabbi Dovid Banon.

Happy Purim From CrownHeights.info!

We, the staff of CrownHeights.info (such a BIG ‘staff’ ;-) would like to wish all of our readers (all the thousands of you) who come to this site from all over the world to get real Crown Heights and Chabad news, a Happy and Frailichen Purim.

We would also like to caution you all to take extra care and keep this time a joyous one and not to have one of our photographers around taking pictures of some unwanted incident ;-), rather have them take pictures of people all dressed up running around delivering Shalach Manot!

So if you plan on drinking, drop the car keys and don’t drive, and when you drink even tough it’s a mitzvah to exaggerate, be sensible (what an oxymoron), and may it be a real Venahafoch Hu that this Golus should change into Geulah!

Also, if you have any nice Purim pictures that you think should be in our Purim gallery email it to us at news@crownheights.info
