“All of the Chassidim were in total awe of the tremendous respect the Rebbe had toward his mother during his visit in Paris” The Rebbe would visit his Mother twice a day during his Visit to Paris in 1947. Rabbi Nachum Yakobovitch, a longtime Lubavitcher Chassid now living in Jerusalem, relates a tender scene that took place in the French capital after the Rebbe was finally reunited with his mother. It's an excerpt from the new book on the Rebbe “The Rebbe Inspiring a Generation” to see more on the book visit: www.inspiringageneration.com
“It was 11 Nissan. Unknown to us, this was the Rebbe's birthday.

We were sitting in the home of Rabbi Zalman Schneerson when the Rebbe's mother Rebbetzin Chana walked in and asked us, ”Do you know that tonight is 11 Nissan?"

Rebbetzin Chana, “Do you know that tonight is Yud Aleph Nissan?”

PORTLAND, ME — Beforehand, there was a lot of handshaking, hugging and catching up.
