Picture of the Day

This eulogy took place on the 10th of Adar, 1950 for the Rebbe Raayatz. It took place at the large shul in the Zichron Moshe neighborhood. The people speaking were Rabbis Isser Zalman Meltzer, Zalman Sorotzkin, Eliyahu Vilkovsky and Shlomo Yosef Zevin. It mentions the Mesiras nefesh the Rebbe had for Torah.

It’s most interesting that Rabbi Meltzer was one of them, given his son-in-law, Rabbi Aron Kotler had issues with the Rebbe. Obviously, the truth is the truth and the personal issues between them had no place in memorializing the Rebbe by a leading Litvish figure-head.
